Dear Dr. Man, I’m a 63 year old woman from Boca Raton. I’ve worn heavy earrings my entire life and now I’m paying for it. One of my earlobes is completely torn through and the other one is just about torn. Now I can’t wear earrings at all. Worse yet, everyone always asks me what is wrong with my ears. Can this be fixed? Can I wear earrings again one day?The condition that you are experiencing is

Dear Dr. Man, I just turned 60 years old and I am an attorney in Boca Raton. I have a beautiful wife who looks like she’s half my age. I feel that my saggy eyes make me look older than I am. I’m considering surgery to correct this, but I’m wondering if men typically get this kind of plastic surgery and if it can look natural. Also, what can I expect from surgery with regards to recovery?Both

Dear Dr. Man, I live in Parkland- I’m 31 years old and I have 4 children. As a result of my pregnancies, I have a horrible stomach pooch problem. I have flabby hanging skin.

Dear Dr. Man, I’m 42 years old and live in Parkland. I have five amazing children. I’m definitely not having any more children and now that I know that, I need to have my breasts fixed. I breastfed all of my children and now I look like I have deflated balloons hanging from my chest. It’s awful and I’m so self-conscious. What can I have done to correct this problem?Congratulations on your five

I feel so much better now, but I’m very self-conscious and find myself covering up a lot. I’m embarrassed to be intimate with a woman. Is there surgery I can get to correct this problem?First and

Dear Dr. Man, I’m a mother of 2 in Boca Raton. I’d like to have a nose job, but I’m slightly concerned. When I was a teenager, I used drugs, specifically cocaine. I haven’t used drugs in over ten years, but I’m concerned that my prior drug use may have an effect on the nose job. What do you think? Some drugs that are "snorted" can damage the septum of the nose. The septum is the structure that

My nipples are also pretty big and they look like they’re sagging. I’m very self-conscious and not happy with the way my breasts look. I’ve heard of a breast reduction, but I actually don’t mind the actual size of my breasts. I

Since I’ve had such good results there, I’m wondering if fillers can help correct the hollows under my eye. I have dark circles, because of my thin, translucent skin.

Dear Dr. Man, I’m a 28 year old man, I work out every day and can’t seem to get six-pack abs. There’s some fat around my mid-section that won’t go away no matter how hard I work out. I saw on television this guy getting Vaser liposculpture. Can you tell me more about this? Also, any other procedures you might recommend? What about body contouring?Many men, and even women, work out and take

Dear Dr. Man, I want fuller lips. I get collagen injections regularly, but I want something that lasts longer. What about using a longer-term filler, such as Perlane? Full lips are constantly sought after, for women of all ages; after all, a plump pout is considered to be a sign of youth and sensuality. However, I think long term fillers, at present, are not good options for lips. While I

Dear Dr. Man, while at my dermatologist, I was complaining about my wrinkles and my acne scars. She was also pointing out that I have a great deal of sun damage on my face. She suggested that I see a plastic surgeon and look into a treatment called Mosaic. Can you tell me more about this treatment?Mosaic is the first laser to use a new patented process of CCT to remove wrinkles, sun damage and

Dear Dr. Man, I’m 39 years old and have cellulite around my thighs and butt. I’m pretty thin and athletic. I work out, I eat right, but it doesn’t help. My co-worker mentioned something called Triactive and how it uses a laser and is less invasive than other treatments like lipo.

Dear Dr. Man, Many years ago (like over a decade ago), my sister went to a plastic surgeon to get silicone injected into her face to make her look younger. I went online to read up about this procedure and I can’t find much about it. I’m wondering why this is the case. If that’s not available, what are some good alternatives? My face is starting to cave in and it definitely shows my age. Due

Dear Dr. Man, I am 16 years old and I have very large breasts. I started developing when I was 11 years old and I am now a DD cup. I’m very thin, so I can’t ever find clothes to fit me since my top is bigger than my bottom. I also have bad shoulder and back pain. It’s difficult for me in gym class or even when I take a run.

Dear Dr. Man, My sister lives in California and she is considering getting a threadlift. She said it’s like a facelift. Can you give me more information on what this is and how it differs from a regular face lift? Thread lifts can be an alternative to a face lift for patients who want lifting and tightening of their cheeks, mid-face, jowls or eyebrows, but don't want to undergo major surgery.

Dear Dr. Man, I’m 29 years old and I’ve been a lawyer for 3 years now. I’ve always hated the way my profile looks- it has to do with my chin and my nose. It looks like I don’t even have a chin. I am a trial lawyer, so impressions are everything in my field. How can I be confident in the courtroom if I’m so concerned about people looking at my chin? This is why I’d like to get a chin implant.

Dear Dr. Man, I am a junior in high school and I really want breast reduction surgery. I’ve had large breasts since I hit puberty. As a result, I have terrible back and shoulder pain. I’m also oddly shaped- I wear a full D cup but I’m only a size 2. I can’t buy dresses because my top is so much larger than my bottom half. My mom thinks I’m too young to get plastic surgery. She is also

Dear Dr. Man, I want younger-looking skin, but these creams don’t just work for me and I’d rather not have a facelift. My friend at the club said she got a treatment called Thermage and she really looks great. Does it really produce such good results; or maybe she got a facelift and doesn’t want to admit it? Please tell me more about Thermage and what I can expect, results-wise. Thanks,

Dear Dr. Man, I have an embarrassing problem. Ever since I had my baby and breastfed her, my areolas are extremely large. My nipples are also pretty large and they look like they’re sagging. I feel very self-conscious. I was a 36D chest before I had the baby and I am now a 36DD. I don’t mind the larger breast size, but I really am uncomfortable with the size of my areolas and nipples. Is

Dear Dr. Man, I saw a commercial for Smartlipo on TV last night. It made it sound like I can get it done and be at work the next day. This would be great because I lead a busy lifestyle. How does it differ from traditional liposuction?

Dear Dr. Man, I’m 61 years young and I like my appearance overall, but I can’t stand the way my lips look. As I age, I find that my lips look thinner. What treatments are available? I want it to look natural. Signed, Tristan in Boca RatonDear Tristan, Full lips have always been sought after, regardless of age. A plump pout is considered to be a sign of youth and an icon of sensuality.

Dear Dr. Man, I’m a 52 year old man who recently got divorced and am looking to start dating again. However, I’m self-conscious because of my nose, which is quite big and slightly curved. I’m seriously considering plastic surgery to correct it. Can you tell me more about what this procedure entails? Do only young people and women have this surgery?

Dear Dr. Man, I’m a 29 year old mother of 3 year old twins. I’m in great shape and exercise daily, but after my kids were born and I breastfed, my breasts sag very badly. Can you tell me more about a breast lift? Also, can I get implants at the same time I get a breast lift?
