Boulder Plastic Surgery

Central Colorado residents can visit Boulder Plastic Surgery for a variety of cosmetic procedures and treatments. We’ll provide detailed information on what to expect, review your anesthesia options, and answer any questions you have about your procedure or treatment. We’re proud to provide each patient with a personal, professional, and relaxing environment to ensure a positive outcome. It’s important to speak with your chosen surgeon about your different anesthesia options so that you can have the best possible experience.

Anesthesia Options Available to You

The type of anesthesia used will depend on the type of surgery you’re having as well as your age and health status. If you’ve had any problems with anesthesia in the past, it’s important to let your surgeon know. There are four types of anesthesia that may be administered:

General anesthesia – This is when you’re unconscious during your entire surgical procedure. Most major operations use general anesthesia, which includes an IV line hooked up to your hand or arm. Other times it’s a gas that goes through an anesthesia mask.

Regional anesthesia – Your surgeon will give you a shot of a local anesthetic to numb large areas of the body where the procedure will be performed. This can include the arm, leg, or lower half of the body.

Local anesthesia – With this type of anesthesia, your surgeon will numb a small portion of the skin where an incision is going to be made in order to eliminate any pain. It will either be administered as a shot or applied to your skin as a spray or ointment. Local anesthesia is mostly used for minor outpatient procedures.

Conscious sedation – Surgeons will use sedatives to reduce your consciousness level without having to put you completely to sleep. Conscious sedation can cause temporary forgetfulness, and many patients end up not even remembering the procedure.

Before any surgical procedures, your doctor at Boulder Plastic Surgery will discuss your anesthesia options, decide which one(s) will be used, and address any questions or concerns you have. Our team of highly trained and skilled technicians will work hard to make sure you have the best experience before, during, and after your surgical procedure. Call us today to learn more or to schedule your consultation.

How to Choose a Plastic Surgeon

At Boulder Plastic Surgery, we let each patient choose the surgeon they feel the most comfortable with. Choosing the right plastic surgeon is an important decision that takes a lot of consideration. When deciding on the right doctor for you, it’s important to consider a few things:

• Look into the doctor’s education, training, and experience.
• Find out how the doctor will perform the procedure, how often it has been performed, and whether he or she has any claims against them.
• Take a look at before and after photos of the surgeon’s other patients who have had the same procedure done.
• Try to find reviews of the plastic surgeon to see what former patients are saying.

With constant advancements and innovations in the field of cosmetic surgery, patients have more options available to them than ever to treat a wide variety of issues. Likewise, there are a number of plastic surgeons in Colorado doing what they can to prove they’re the best ones to perform your procedure. This is why it’s important to make sure you have accurate information regarding your surgery and the doctor you’re considering. This includes everything from experience, education, and training to how he or she treats patients and what type of environment procedures are conducted in.

We offer patients a professional, personal, and caring environment to help ensure a positive experience throughout your entire treatment.

What Makes Office-Based Surgery Different

Doctors are doing more than just routine checkups in their offices thanks to advances in medical technology. We can now perform more advanced and complex surgical procedures and medical treatments right from the comfort of our office. Whether you need a biopsy, a tummy tuck, or laser treatment, office-based surgery procedures are now more common than many people realize. By 2005 more than 10 million procedures and surgeries were performed at an office. Today, 1 out of 10 surgeries are being performed at the doctor’s office.

The growing preference for office-based surgery procedures is due in part to the convenience of not having to go to a hospital, where you will most likely have to stay overnight. In a doctor’s office, your surgeon can use ambulatory anesthesia, which allows the procedure to be performed safely while still enabling you to return home that day. This is quickly becoming popular since it offers the chance to have your procedure performed in the more comfortable setting of a doctor’s office, and your recovery can take place in the comfort of your own home.

For patients who are unfamiliar with office-based surgery procedures and treatments, it’s important to address any questions or concerns you may have with your individual surgeon. They’ll offer information on what to expect before, during, and after your procedure.

Schedule Your Consultation With Boulder Plastic Surgery

Patients looking for a comfortable, friendly, and professional environment for their next surgery are encouraged to look into an office-based procedure at Boulder Plastic Surgery.

Fat Sculpting Procedures at Boulder Plastic Surgery

If you are looking to define your curves in all the proper places, then our fat sculpting procedures at Boulder Plastic Surgery could be the solution for you. Our highly skilled board-certified plastic surgeons are knowledgeable in the latest cutting-edge procedures, and everyone in our office is professional, caring, and supportive. At Boulder Plastic Surgery, we provide each of our patients with high standards of care and personal attention during and after your surgical and non-surgical treatments. If you want to combat the effects of aging, then fat sculpting, also known as fat grafting, can be one of the best ways to achieve a fresh and youthful appearance.

Fat Sculpting Can Help Reverse the Signs of Aging

Embrace the green era and talk with our surgeons at Boulder Plastic Surgery about recycling your own body fat to create the curves and youthful appearance you’ve been dreaming of. As both men and women age, we lose fat under our skin, making the some of the bony structures of our bodies more obvious. This becomes particularly evident in one’s face, breasts, pectorals, and buttocks. An excellent way to regain the richness of your youth is to replace and shape this lost fat into the desired form. At Boulder Plastic Surgery, we perform fat sculpting techniques to restore volume and improve your body contours by using your own body fat to enhance and sharpen your jaw line, fill in hollows around the eyes, or make your cheekbones more prominent while filling in lines, wrinkles, and folds.

Since fat is one of the best fillers available to add volume, your own fat can be used for a number of treatment options, including:

• Upper eyelids, brows, and temples
• Lower eyelids and cheeks
• Nose
• Neck, jaw, and chin
• Head and neck reconstruction
• Facial and body scarring
• Buttock augmentation
• Arms and legs
• Breasts
• Male chest

Fat sculpting can also be used for other procedures, such as treatment of tuberous breasts or repairing radiation damage from breast cancer and head and neck cancer treatments. Fat sculpting can be used almost anywhere on the body and can be a great solution to a number of cosmetic concerns.

Contact Boulder Plastic Surgery to Understand All Your Available Treatment Options

If you believe that fat sculpting could be the right choice for you, make an appointment with one of our board-certified surgeons at Boulder Plastic Surgery to review all your options. Everyone at Boulder Plastic Surgery works carefully with each patient to ensure your ultimate satisfaction.

Laser Body Contouring

People in the Boulder area looking for a team of cosmetic surgeons they can rely on for non-invasive laser liposuction can count on our friendly, skilled, and experienced team at Boulder Plastic Surgery. Come to our office and speak with one of our board-certified surgeons about the plastic surgery procedures we offer. Call today to make an appointment for a consultation — we will be happy to answer any questions you have about our laser liposuction procedures and whether or not they are right for you.

What to Expect With Laser Liposuction

Many patients are interested in liposuction but don’t understand enough about the techniques and procedures available to know what’s likely to be right for them. Many doctors have reported great success using completely non-invasive lasers to melt and shape body fat as opposed to removing it with traditional liposuction. At Boulder Plastic Surgery, we can perform body contouring procedures that feature a mix of low-level laser energy to break down fat cells and a focussed radio frequency to tighten up the skin. This is a great option for patients who have a bit of extra fat that they can’t seem to reduce with diet and exercise but who don’t want the small incision that goes along with standard liposuction treatments.

Similarly, patients looking to reduce cellulite and smooth out parts of the body without invasive procedures may be interested in lipomassage treatments. Patients turn to this type of treatment — which works as a combination of bi-polar radiofrequency and infrared light energy — to reduce superficial fat, get firmer skin, and sculpt their ideal silhouette. This is meant for those who simply want to tighten their skin and shape their figure as opposed to patients who want to significantly reduce body fat.

Learn More About Our Liposculpture Procedures

Liposculpture is a procedure that’s great for patients looking to combine standard liposuction with body shaping. You don’t have to be an athlete anymore to achieve the six-pack abs we all envy. At Boulder Plastic Surgery, we can utilize a technique we call “six-pack” abdominal liposculpture.

There is muscle that lies underneath a layer of fat in your abdomen, and our surgeons will remove excess fat with a laser, leaving only a thin layer between the muscle and your skin. Then we can define the natural muscle lines using a laser, or, for less athletic patients, we can use a laser to create the desired muscle lines. We can also use similar techniques to sculpt other parts of the body, including your arms, shoulders, and, for males, the chest.

Patients desiring a highly defined six-pack with the help of abdominal liposculpture should be aware that the procedure is time consuming, requiring up to four hours to perform. Patients will be under local anesthesia to ensure maximum comfort, and four to five days of resting and recovery are typically required before you can return to your normal schedule. We also recommend that you don’t exercise for at least a month.

Hand Rejuvenation

Boulder-area residents can visit Boulder Plastic Surgery for more information on injectable fillers to treat bony hands. You can expect a personal, professional, and caring environment to help ensure a positive outcome following your treatment at our office. Call today to schedule a consultation with one of our board-certified surgeons.

Learn More About Our Available Hand Rejuvenation Treatments

Our hands are one of the first places on our bodies to exhibit signs of aging, from sagging or discolored skin to a loss of fat that results in a bony or veiny appearance. Visit Boulder Plastic Surgery for skin and hand rejuvenation treatments, including injectable fillers.

One’s youthful appearance is usually gauged based on the condition of three areas: your face, neck, and hands. As you age, your hands can start getting brown spots as a result of sun damage. Older hands can also develop wrinkles and lose fat, which will then make the bones and veins become more noticeable. Hand rejuvenation treatments provide a number of different ways to help reduce or reverse these issues. Treatments can include injectable fillers, home skincare, and clinical treatments here at Boulder Plastic Surgery.

Patients will want to review all available options with one of our doctors to decide which type of treatment is best for them. Some available options include:

• Dermal fillers that will plump up your hands while reducing the appearance of bones and veins.
• Intense pulsed light (IPL) will lower the amount of brown spots on the back of your hands and improve your skin color.
• Omnilux Revive will stimulate your skin’s natural repair processes and improve collagen production, giving your skin even more youthful vigor.

Ask your surgeon for more information on the different treatments we have available. During your consultation, your doctor will go over your options, discuss any risks, review expected outcomes, and address any questions or concerns you have about your chosen treatment.

Our Anti-Aging Laser Skin Treatments Are Safe and Minimally Invasive

Boulder patients can turn to Boulder Plastic Surgery for detailed information on our sunspot removal procedures and what they can expect. Many people have sunspots, birthmarks, age spots, and freckles on their face — these are very common. When sunspots become large or blotchy, they often obscure your skin’s natural beauty. Laser treatments are the safest way to remove sunspots and restore your skin to its original youthful tone. Thanks to Boulder Plastic Surgery and our high-tech Broadband Light (BBL) technology, you can even tailor a laser treatment to match your skin tone.

The laser treatment we use to reduce and remove sunspots is a non-surgical, non-invasive procedure that can be performed on all skin types. It can be used on your face, neck, chest, and hands. The laser will create a beam of light that works to destroy only your skin’s unwanted cells. Patients can expect the procedure to run 90 minutes or less depending on how many sunspots you’re looking to remove. Your doctor will inform you of how many laser treatments are needed to achieve the results you’re looking for.

All patients will need to come in for an initial consultation, during which we’ll go over what you’d like to see in terms of results and any concerns or questions you have. Your doctor will spend time examining your skin carefully and make sure that you are informed on what to expect from the laser treatment. Our team of trained and highly skilled surgeons will provide the high quality care you deserve from the moment you arrive for your consultation until you leave our office completely satisfied.

Sclerotherapy Treatment

Sclerotherapy has been widely used since the 1930s to treat varicose and spider veins. The procedure is noninvasive, quick to perform, and produces great results. During the procedure, the targeted vein is injected with a solution that causes it to swell and stick together. Over time the vein collapse, turns to scar tissue, and fades. From start to finish a sclerotherapy treatment at Boulder Plastic Surgery takes less than forty-five minutes, and you can get back to your regular routine immediately afterwards! Contact us today to determine if you are a good candidate for sclerotherapy and whether the procedure is right for you.

What to Expect From a Sclerotherapy Treatment

Leg vein injections are minimally invasive and work well for most patients; however, not everyone is a good candidate, and not every vein can be treated. Women are not eligible while pregnant and must wait at least three months after delivery before being considered for the procedure. If you have experienced a blot clot at any point, your eligibility will be determined by a vascular specialist. Depending on the extremity and cause of the clot, you may or may not be eligible. It is also important to note that not every vein can be treated. Veins that can potentially be used for future surgical bypass procedures will not be considered.

If it is determined that you are a good candidate for sclerotherapy and you choose to proceed with the treatment, you’ll want to know exactly what to expect. The procedure itself will take thirty to forty-five minutes to complete, depending on the area treated and the number of veins. The area to be treated will be cleaned, and then a solution will be injected directly into the blood vessel using a very fine needle. The majority of spider veins respond to the treatment in three to six weeks, with larger veins sometimes taking three to four months to fully respond (rarely does a vein not respond). After the procedure, you will be able to return to your normal activities and are encouraged to walk and move around regularly. The results are usually permanent, but new veins may emerge in time and require additional treatment.

For More Information About Sclerotherapy, Contact Boulder Plastic Surgery Today

Sclerotherapy is a quick, easy solution to those unsightly spider veins many people deal with as a basic sign of aging. Our doctors will perform the procedure with the utmost care so you can be in and out of the office in less than a hour and get back to your daily routine! Sclerotherapy has been in use for many years and produces great results. Contact us at Boulder Plastic Surgery to begin your consultation today.

Body Contouring at Boulder Plastic Surgery

Whether it’s a last bit of excess fat you can’t seem to lose or some sagging skin you’re looking to tighten up, many of us have certain features we’d like to change. A lot of advancements have been made in the field of body contouring in recent years, and new techniques are now available, including some less invasive options. Advancements made in the stem cell field allow for effective fat transfer, meaning an experienced surgeon can now move fat from one area of the body to another to create a more desirable body shape and silhouette. Contact us at Boulder Plastic Surgery for more information about the body contouring options we offer and to discuss whether any of these procedures are right for you.

Enhanced Liposuction Techniques Produce Great Results

Liposuction often produces great results when performed by an experienced surgeon, but there are a number of other body contouring options available, including high-tech lipo “assistants” that can help modify or augment standard procedures. The term “assistants” refers to other devices the doctor will use in addition to standard liposuction procedures. Devices such as laser lights, ultrasound energy, and water jets are used to break down or liquefy fat, making it easier to remove. This can result in less scarring, bruising, and discomfort, and less downtime is need to recover from this type of procedure. Compared to traditional liposuction, most patients recover much faster, heal quicker, and get better results with the help of assisted liposuction devices.

Another advantage to this type of procedure is that it works with superficial fat and can be used to shape and create a new form. This type of body contouring has not previously been possible with traditional liposuction. Patients who are unable to get get rid of specific pockets of fat regardless of dieting and exercise are ideal candidates. Most patients are able to return to their normal activities within two days or so.

Contact Boulder Plastic Surgery About Body Contouring Procedures Today

Traditional liposuction can often produce great results, but advancing technologies have made less invasive types of liposuction possible. Body contouring is a great option for patients who just can’t seem to get rid of those last few pounds in a specific area. Patients also experience faster healing and are often able to return to their normal activities within a day or two thanks to new liposuction technology and techniques.
