Interested in reviews of Dr Carlos Wolf who is a plastic surgeon in Miami, Florida. I am a 38 year old woman. I want to get a brow lift and fuller cheeks and a nose job and new breast implants. I want to find a plastic surgeon in Miami that can do all of this. I heard about Dr Wolf on the radio and want to know if he is good before I pay money for a consult.

I don't know about Dr. Wolf, but it sounds like you want to get a lot of plastic surgery. Which operation are you researching first? Which surgery is most important to you? You might want to post pics on the forum to get some honest opinions, because that sounds like an awful lot of body mods.

Cheetahgurl - no offense there is nothing wrong with wanting to better your appearance (all of us here do!) but it sounds like you don't know what you want and as Robyne said you're trying to do too many things at once. Remember plastic surgery is permanent (true you can remove implants but even then you are left with scars). You really need to think each procedure through and educate yourself about them in order to decide if it's something you truly want. I am not familiar with this Dr Carlos Wolf (I am not in Miami) but I do think it's safe to say no one can specialize in all the things you listed so I wouldn't go to him for all of that. He might do some procedure(s) good but it's impossible to be an expert at everything. Try and pick one surgeon for body work and another surgeon that specializes in face work (that is, after you educate yourself about what you think you want).

Also, you can depend on a surgeon's skill and expertise ... but only up to an extent. If they are able to prove you do not need a procedure for logistic purposes or enhance your look by utilizing your ideas and building on them, that's fine. Never let a surgeon tell you that you need a procedure you don't want. If you do not feel comfortable with the surgeon, as he or she is telling you to go in a totally different direction, take it with a grain of salt, and get other professional opinions. Beware surgeons who have very aggressive approaches as well.

On Robyne's note, it's also important to remember that many plastic surgeons actually have a distorted view of what's normal and what's not. So they may tell a prospective patient, maybe for financial incentive, but sometimes it is because they have a skewed sense of what beauty is.

Also just because Dr Carlos Wolf was on the radio, it should not be viewed as an endorsement or him being qualified. Just think how many idiot babbling heads there are on TV

Hi cheetahgurl!! I actually just went for a consultation for my nose with Dr. Wolf this week along with some other doctors in the South Florida area. I really liked him but it is a huge decision to make choosing someone to fix something that you don't like especially when it is something that is always exposed for the world to see, so of course at the moment I am very very confused about who to choose. If you are going to be put under anyways, and you truly feel you would like eyebrows and a brow lift too, it is silly not to just get this all done at once. Anyways thought I'd let you know Dr. Carlos Wolf only works on face and neck, however there are two other doctors that work at this practice that do body work.

Don't know if you already went through with your procedure but any advice you have on doctors that you saw or actually went to for your rhinoplasty surgery would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks

kdv06c,

Getting "everything done at once" is not a wise decision. I don't think any of the forum members want to pull a Heidi Montag, nor is it ethical on the part of the surgeon. There are many risks involved in getting one surgery, not to mention multiple surgeries, especially at once.

The other problem with doing it all at once is that you can see how one part looks in relation to another. By doing one thing at a time, the plastic surgeon can better see how it compares to your other facial features (if they've just been altered and are all swollen, that won't be possible). I also think surgeons rush through the operations when they have more than one.
