Her level of expertise with medical aesthetics is truly admirable. I appreciate her attention to detail and support throughout my treatments! If you’re in search of an esthetician who is result-driven with a combination of knowledge, professionalism, and a great touch, Cierra is the one! #### Trixie J Dr. Pulikkottil is wonderful. He has taken great care of a couple of my patients I have referred to him, and more on the way. I’ve seen him myself and trust him implicitly. I’m a PA in this industry and have been for a long time and have certainly felt unsettled about practitioners along the way for various reasons, but have no reservations at all about sending any of my patients to him. You’re in good hands. #### Tanna Donalson I recently had surgery with Dr. Endress. I’m so impressed with his bedside manner! My results are amazing as well. His team, Tatiana, Celine, Maddie, Rachel, and David are amazing. They walked me through the process over a few months and on surgery day, I was prepared and ready to go. Their prices are reasonable for this type of surgery as well. I highly recommend this office if you’re considering any cosmetic surgery. #### Gina Janeczek A tummy tuck was on my bucket list for years. After meeting with other surgeons, I chose Dr. Pulikkottil. I realized after our consultation he was the surgeon for me. He took his time with me. I didn’t feel rushed. He answered any questions or concerns and explained things while making me feel less anxious. He's an amazing surgeon, extremely intelligent, and has a great bedside manner! The 5★ staff is amazing! All were incredibly helpful, professional, and made me feel at ease from the start. The facility itself is stunning and brilliantly designed! I’m 12 days post-op and can’t believe the results! Dr. Pulikkottil and staff are highly recommended! #### Sandi Dougherty I was so nervous and didn’t know exactly what I wanted. I felt confident leaving with a better understanding and knowledge. The staff is amazing and makes you feel safe and answered all my questions. #### Deborah Flook The entire team at LaVie is knowledgeable, kind, and professional. The surgeons are absolutely stellar. The staff will make you feel welcome and understood, ensuring you receive exactly what you are looking for! Not to mention, their facility is spectacular with gorgeous Mountain Views. #### Ben Rucker Wonderful experience. Dr. Pulikkottil listened to my concerns and came up with a game plan that suited my needs. Great results! Look forward to a continued partnership over the years to come. #### Lysa Dr. Tek was absolutely amazing along with the staff at LaVie. I would highly recommend! #### Tyler Cole Everyone is very professional and helpful. I liked that the Dr. was present during all appointments to guide me and help me decide the options I had. The clinic is very clean and nice. #### Maria Zavala I recently had a consultation at Dr. Benson Pulikkottil’s office, and my experience was exceptional from start to finish. The staff was incredibly kind and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. They were attentive, interpersonal, and took the time to address any questions I had. The office itself is absolutely stunning, with a serene and ambient atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. I’m beyond impressed with the care and professionalism of the entire team and would highly recommend Dr. Benson Pulikkottil and his wonderful staff! #### Katie Inthavong I couldn’t have asked for a better team for my first ever surgery! They are very thorough in answering questions and compassionate. Just amazing! #### Geraldine Orozco Dr. Pulikkottil and all of his colleagues at LaVie are amazing. After being referred to Dr. Pulikkottil by my derm, within a few minutes of being in the office I knew I was in good hands! He took the time to explain everything, made me feel comfortable, and helped manage expectations for my procedure and scarring. The procedure was fast and painless and my incision is healing beautifully with likely minimal scarring despite 11 stitches. Highly recommend! #### Madeline Anderson I appreciated the time and all the information that Dr. Daniali provided to address my questions thoroughly. I was also impressed with the efficiency and professionalism of the entire staff. I believe the office is well-managed and organized. #### Iryna Wonderful help with my breast cancer. #### Anonymous I had been needing to replace my breast implants and knew a lift and possible reconstruction were necessary. From my first visit to Dr. Lily’s office, I felt at ease. The staff, including Tati and Bobbie Jo, were incredibly caring and professional. Dr. Lily’s compassion, expertise, and attention to detail impressed me during my consultation. After surgery, I couldn’t be happier with the results—she truly understood my desired look, and my scars are barely visible. The OR team eased my nerves. I’m so grateful for the exceptional care I received! #### Loretta Krieves From start to finish, I had an amazing experience here. Dr. Tek and his team are professional, empathetic, and very good at what they do. They listened closely to my questions and concerns, addressing each one directly to find solutions. I’m also extremely satisfied with the results so far, and the pricing here is way more reasonable than many other institutes I explored. I would highly recommend Dr. Tek and the LaVie Institute for elective surgery. #### Caitlin I can’t speak highly enough of the LaVie Institute and Dr. Pulikkottil. The entire experience, from the moment I walked in, was fantastic. The staff was friendly and efficient, and Dr. Pulikkottil was not only knowledgeable but also took the time to address all my questions and concerns. I had Vaser liposuction performed on my neck and am two weeks postoperative, and am so impressed with the results. They have an onsite surgical room where my procedure was performed and everything is high-tech and state of the art. If you are looking for a reputable clinic with a compassionate doctor, look no further. #### Silversun K Dr. Lily Daniali is the world's prettiest surgeon. She is great, she understands the idea of making choices with your own body. I felt like she really wanted me to have the results I wanted, not the results she wanted. I have had much worse experiences at other consultations, where I have been dismissed or told I just need to be happy with the way I am. Infuriating. Dr. Daniali outlined a wonderful treatment plan for me, including lipo and a thigh lift for my loose skin. At 23, I should not have any loose skin, and my only wish is to feel normal. Thanks to LaVie Institute for being so understanding #### Addison Brady First of all, the facility is absolutely beautiful and I love that surgery takes place there as well as visits with the doctor. Dr. Pulikkottil was the 3rd Dr. I spoke with about my potential breast augmentation. Not only did he make me feel extremely comfortable with him as a Dr., but he took the time to help me feel comfortable with the procedure, what realistically could be done, and calmed any fears I might have had. I'm now a week out from surgery and I absolutely love my results. Dr. P did an absolutely amazing job. The office staff, nurses, massage therapist—everyone has taken such great care of me! 10/10 Recommend! #### Allison Malley I only got Botox done, but I feel like Dr. Pulikkottil listened to my concerns and desires for the outcome of my treatment. Together we developed a plan to meet my goals and stay within my price range. The application was very clean and smooth and afterward, there were great results that met my expectations and there were no adverse effects that you sometimes hear about. Would definitely come back for more consultations and procedures. #### Arielle Pham Have had an excellent experience with Dr. Pulikkottil and his team! The service has been 10/10 and I am thrilled with my upper bleph results. Highly recommend. #### Lindsay Gayman Amazing staff. No high-pressure selling. Very knowledgeable and explained what to expect for my procedure. Dr. Endress answered all of my questions, which put me at ease regarding the surgery. Patricia Criddle. #### Elaine Criddle I had an incredible experience with Dr. Endress for my eyelid surgery. The knowledge, expertise, and great bedside manners provided made all the difference, from start to finish. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Endress to anyone considering eyelid surgery. And the beautiful office space is an added bonus! The surgery already improved the image, just within two weeks, and has made a big difference in my feeling. It’s the right choice for both the institute and the surgeon! #### OngBa Chinh Dr. Endress and his team really put you and your needs first. Their communication with me has been excellent from day one, they answered all of my questions, and I felt very supported through my procedure and aftercare. I am so grateful. Highly recommend!! #### Lindsey T All the staff are very nice and helpful. #### Hala Gendy Seeking a refreshed look, the consultation was thorough and informative; Dr. Endress took the time to answer all my questions and I never felt rushed. The surgical team and facility are top-notch, making me feel comfortable and confident in their care. Thankful I did my due diligence and found LaVie. #### Joanne Walton LaVie Institute is amazing from the moment you walk in from the decor, the staff, and providers. Dr. Pulikkottil did an amazing job on my mole removal on my chest and I am very happy with the results! #### Katie Chmielewski I got my upper eyelids done by Dr. Pulikkottil and my experience was great. He and his team worked together to make sure I was very comfortable with the procedure. All of my questions were answered quickly and thoroughly. Dr. Pulikkottil called me numerous times during my recovery to check on me and answer any questions I had. I felt I could trust him and he did an amazing job on my eyelids. I highly recommend Dr. Pulikkottil for any plastic surgery you’re considering. #### Kory Lynn Wonderful experience. Dr Pulikkottil listened to my concerns and came up with a game plan the suited my needs. Great results! Look forward to a continued partnership over the years to come! #### Lysa Every one is very professional and helpful. I liked that the Dr. was present during all appointments to guide me and help me decide the options I had. The clinic is very clean and nice. #### Maria I couldn’t have asked for a better team for my first ever surgery! They are very thorough in answering questions and compassionate. Just amazing! #### Geraldine For the longest time I have needed to replace my breast implants. I knew I was going to need a lift and some possible reconstruction. From the moment I stepped into Dr. Lily's office I felt at ease. Each and every staff member I came into contact with was caring and professional, and made me feel so comfortable, starting with reception. #### Loretta From start to finish, I had an amazing experience here. Dr. Tek and his team are professional, empathetic, and very good at what they do. They listened closely to my questions and concerns, addressing each one directly to find solutions. I’m also extremely satisfied with the results so far, and the pricing here is way more reasonable than many other institutes I explored. I would highly recommend Dr. Tek and the LaVie Institute for elective surgery. #### Caitlin I have had the best experience with Dr. Przylecki. I literally couldn't have asked for better. I went in and had almost no wait to get into the room. His staff is excellent; very friendly. He didn't put me through any unnecessary testing and listened to my concerns. My expectations were definitely exceeded and I would recommend Dr. Przylecki to anyone! #### Shayna Dr. Endress is the best surgeon I've ever had. He did surgery on my left arm and did an amazing job. It wasn't long until I got full range of motion back and back to work and I work in a warehouse with lots of lifting. If you have problems with your wrist or hand like carpal tunnel I would definitely recommend Dr. Endress to any and everyone! #### Tristan W. Outstanding physicians. Was seen immediately. Very compassionate team. Took care of setting everything up and solving my problem very quickly. Team members were available every day and were very responsive and went out of their way to make sure everything went well. Technical/surgical quality of the physicians was outstanding and unparalleled in my experience. #### Eric S. Dr. Pulikkottil was simply outstanding. From our first meeting, even over zoom, I knew I was working with an experienced professional. On the day of the surgery, I appreciated his calm demeanor and comforting words. He met with me before and after and discussed the entire process and told me what to expect for recovery. The results speak for themselves. He and his entire staff are simply the best and I would not even consider going anywhere else. #### Jason S. Such an amazing experience from the start. Dr. Daniali had done my mom's breast reconstructive surgery and did such an amazing job that I knew there was nobody else that I wanted to do my abdominal reconstruction when I needed it done. She takes pride in her work and her attention to detail surpasses any other. She helped settle my nerves before surgery and has a very calming demeanor. The follow up care also has been exceptional. I’m not left wondering what steps I ever need to take because she is right there by your side from start to finish. #### DeAnna S. Dr. Danili & staff are amazing. They did such amazing work. Their work repaired not just injury, but also my self-esteem as well. I would recommend them all the time. So calming, friendly, and caring. #### Hillary L. Dr. Daniali is one of the best doctors I have ever seen and I have seen many doctors in my 68 years. She is a very talented doctor, with double board certifications, which is a rare thing. As a surgeon, I found her careful, meticulous and very methodical. As a person, she is very caring, compassionate, a great listener and genuinely wants the best for her patients.

The procedure can help to expand clothing options, allowing clients to wear sleeveless dresses, tank tops, and swimwear with confidence. ### Arm Lift Overview ### Denver Arm Lift Excess drooping skin in the upper arms can detract from an otherwise youthful physique, causing the patient to avoid wearing their favorite sleeveless outfits. Our arm lift in Denver can remove redundant skin folds and excess fatty tissue, restoring a balanced, elegant silhouette and a positive self-image. ### What is an Arm Lift? Sagging skin in the upper arms may be related to genetic factors, or it may be a result of the gradual aging process that happens to us all. Substantial weight loss may also contribute to a less than ideal upper body profile. For most clients, this redundant skin cannot be removed through dieting and exercise and requires a surgical intervention in order to contour and sculpt the physique.  Many patients forego their enjoyment of sleeveless tops and dresses due to self-consciousness about their upper arms. In certain cases, excess hanging skin can lead to chafing, irritation, and discomfort as well. Our arm lift in Denver can combat these concerns, removing excess skin and fat and restoring a toned, slender appearance that makes the client look more youthful.  ### What Can an Arm Lift Do For Me? An arm lift offers both aesthetic and functional improvements, including: - Removes excess hanging skin and tissue in the upper arms - Tightens and tones the arms, improving contours - Creates a firmer, more youthful silhouette - Combats skin ptosis after massive weight loss - Corrects changes in the physique due to aging - Eradicates “bat wings” - Reduces chafing, irritation, and discomfort - Enhances self-confidence ### Our Cutting-Edge Facility The LaVie Institute boasts a welcoming and relaxing decor with 8 climate-controlled clinic rooms to ensure no patient is ever kept waiting. We have two onsite accredited operating theaters that provide our board-certified plastic surgeons with the latest advanced technology and equipment, optimizing their precision.  For hand and reconstructive procedures, we provide access to our world-class hospital-based clinic, affiliated with the prestigious [Swedish Medical Center](https://www.swedish.org/) as well as other top-tier outpatient surgery centers. Our goal is always to provide a client-focused approach, natural results, and an unwavering dedication to safety that ensures continued peace of mind. #### What Are the Benefits? Choosing an arm lift in Denver can offer both cosmetic and practical benefits, including: - A more toned, streamlined upper body appearance - Increased clothing options - A boost in self-confidence - Patients can get more out of their workouts - A long-lasting, natural-looking outcome #### Who Makes a Good Candidate? The best candidates for an arm lift in Colorado typically share the following characteristics: - Localized skin and fat in the upper arms - Chafing or irritation caused by excess hanging skin - Contour changes due to aging or weight loss - Mentally and physically healthy non-smoker - Has realistic expectations based on their private consultation ### How is Arm Lift Surgery Performed? Arm lift surgery is typically performed on an outpatient basis at our world-class in-office operating suite, accredited by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF). The procedure typically takes 2-4 hours. If other treatments such as a [mommy makeover](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/mommy-makeover/) are combined with an arm lift, total recovery time may be extended. The techniques and incisions used are always personalized to your individual anatomy, lifestyle, scarring concerns, comfort levels, and aesthetic tastes. Our arm lift in Denver can be performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation with local anesthesia. Your surgeon will help decide the best type of anesthesia for you during your private consultation. During surgery, the doctor will trim away excess sagging skin, reshaping the upper arm contours to appear more elegant, toned, and youthful. Redundant skin folds known as "bat wings" will be eliminated. Localized fat can be addressed via liposuction. Your surgeon will always go to great lengths to ensure scarring is well-hidden and inconspicuous. In terms of incision placement, your surgeon will choose from a short-scar arm lift to address mild skin ptosis (the incision is placed within the folds of the armpit); a limited incision arm lift to address moderate excess skin (the incision stretches from the armpit to the mid upper arm); a conventional arm lift to combat moderate to severe skin laxity (the incision extends from the armpit to the elbow); or an extended arm lift to correct severe skin laxity (the incision runs from the armpit to the elbow and may extend to the chest wall). ### Can An Arm Lift Be Combined With Other Procedures? An arm lift is often combined with additional body contouring procedures, such as [gynecomastia treatment](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/breast/gynecomastia-treatment/), a [breast lift](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/breast/breast-lift/), [breast reduction](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/breast/breast-reduction/) or [augmentation](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/breast/breast-augmentation/), a [thigh lift](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/thigh-lift/), a [tummy tuck](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/tummy-tuck/), or a full body [mommy makeover](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/mommy-makeover/). Our team can also perform facial rejuvenation treatments for you in tandem with your brachioplasty. [Liposuction](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/liposuction/) is a natural addition to an arm lift and is used to combat excess fat. Combining surgical procedures can help reduce overall costs, discomfort, and recovery time, allowing patients to streamline their makeovers. If you are interested in pursuing additional treatments, be sure to discuss this with us during your private consultation. We can create a customized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs. #### Dr. Daniali is an extraordinary surgeon and has an amazing personality.

Body contouring after weight loss is not a single treatment but a series of procedures to remove the skin left behind after shedding the pounds. A combination of excision and [liposuction](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/liposuction/) can be used to reshape the torso, providing the patient with a better fit in clothing, enhanced self-confidence, and an overall elevated quality of life.  Procedures for contouring the lower body include abdominoplasty, thigh lift, and panniculectomy, while treatments for sculpting the upper body include arm lift, breast reduction, breast lift, and gynecomastia treatment for men. Regardless of the treatment combination you choose, we are committing to helping you regain a positive self-image. ### Benefits of Body Contouring After Weight Loss Body contouring after weight loss offers both physical and emotional benefits that can greatly enhance your quality of life: - Removes excess, sagging skin that cannot be addressed through diet and exercise - Enhances comfort and mobility in daily activities and exercise - Reduces irritation, rashes, or chafing caused by loose skin - Restores smoother, firmer body contours for a more proportionate figure - Boosts confidence and self-image after a major weight loss milestone - Improves the fit of clothing and allows for a wider wardrobe selection - Helps reinforce motivation and a sense of closure following a weight loss journey ### Contouring Procedures For the Lower Body #### Abdominoplasty [Abdominoplasty](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/tummy-tuck/) is designed to trim excess skin folds, tighten lax muscles, and reposition the navel in a more youthful-looking location. In some cases, a Fleur-de-Lis abdominoplasty (vertical abdominoplasty) can be performed to tackle excess skin in the upper belly, providing more comprehensive body sculpting results. #### Circumferential Body Lift A circumferential body lift removes excess skin from all angles using a single incision that encircles the torso. The procedure can address skin ptosis in the stomach, flanks (love handles), buttocks, lower back, and lateral thighs. This procedure can be well-paired with thighplasty. #### Thigh Lift Our surgeons can perform a medial [thigh lift](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/thigh-lift/) to address skin and fatty tissue on the inner thighs, or a lateral thigh lift to remove loose skin and bulges from the outer thighs. The surgery is often combined with liposuction to achieve a slimmer, more sculpted upper leg aesthetic. #### Panniculectomy  Excess loose skin and adipose (fatty tissue) that hangs down over the groin (causing irritation, chafing, and discomfort) is referred to as a pannus. A panniculectomy is a procedure to address this issue and restore proper hygiene along with ease of motion. Because a panniculectomy may be medically necessary, some insurance carriers will cover a portion of the costs. ### Body Contouring - Patient Testimonial ### Contouring Procedures for the Upper Body #### Arm Lift An [arm lift](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/arm-lift/) can remove the hanging skin that obscures the silhouette and causes self-consciousness when wearing sleeveless clothing. Excision is often paired with liposuction to provide patients with a more youthful, inviting upper arm profile.  #### Breast Lift A [breast lift](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/breast/breast-lift/) can be performed alone or in tandem with breast augmentation or breast reduction to combat sagging skin and reposition the nipples in a more flattering, upward-facing location. During surgery, redundant skin folds are trimmed while the surrounding tissue is tightened. #### Breast Reduction For women struggling with oversized, pendulous breasts, discomfort can be a way of life. Patients may suffer from back, neck, and shoulder pain, chafing and irritation beneath the bra straps, and an overall feeling of fatigue. [Breast reduction](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/breast/breast-reduction/) contours the chest, restoring balance and youthfulness. #### Gynecomastia Treatment for Men For male patients, enlarged glandular tissue in the chest can result in an overly feminine-looking physique. Men with [gynecomastia](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/breast/gynecomastia-treatment/) may feel self-conscious when participating in sports, and may have trouble finding clothes that fit. Gynecomastia treatment restores a sculpted, masculinue-looking physique. ### Am I A Candidate For Body Contouring?

A body lift is a surgical procedure designed to remove sagging skin and tighten the underlying tissues after a massive weight loss. This procedure addresses the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and lower back, restoring a firm, sculpted look free of excess skin and tissue. By removing the excess skin, a body lift enhances mobility. It prevents discomfort caused by skin irritation, creating a look you will feel confident revealing in a swimsuit or other revealing garments. ### What Can a Body Lift Treat? A body lift is an ideal solution for individuals dealing with: - Excess, sagging skin following weight loss - Loose abdominal skin that will not shrink back - Skin folds around the thighs, buttocks, or lower back - Discomfort or chafing due to excess skin - Achieving the final step in a weight loss journey by addressing lax, hanging skin and tissue ### The Body Lift Procedure The body lift is a customized procedure in every case, as each patient faces unique challenges. The surgery typically includes the following steps: - Anesthesia: The procedure is performed under general anesthesia to ensure comfort. - Incision Placement: Depending on the areas treated, incisions may be made along the lower abdomen, extending around the sides and back to remove skin circumferentially. - Tissue Tightening and Skin Removal: The surgeon lifts and repositions tissue to achieve a smoother, more contoured look while eliminating excess skin. - Suturing and Closure: Incisions are carefully closed using advanced techniques to minimize scarring. - Recovery and Aftercare: Post-surgical garments are required to support healing, and our team will provide detailed care instructions to help speed healing. ### Who Is a Candidate for a Body Lift?

Compression garments help reduce swelling and support healing. - 2-4 Weeks: Gradual improvement in mobility. Light activities may be resumed, but strenuous exercise must be avoided. - 6-8 Weeks: Most swelling subsides, and the results begin to appear.

The fat is extracted from a donor region of the body, such as the thighs or bel... ## Brazilian Butt Lift in Denver, CO A youthful physique is curvaceous in all the right areas. A Brazilian butt lift helps restore a feminine, sculpted silhouette after aging, massive weight loss, or pregnancy, expanding clothing options and providing the client with an improved self-image. ### Natural Butt Enhancement Our Brazilian butt lift in Denver, Parker, Lone Tree, and Centennial uses the client’s own autologous fat to sculpt and enhance the rear end, creating a more balanced, proportionate figure. The fat is extracted from a donor region of the body, such as the thighs or belly, providing the patient with dual body contouring benefits that make this procedure a popular and sought-after choice. ### What is a Brazilian Butt Lift? During your Brazilian butt lift in Denver, your surgeon will use [liposuction](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/liposuction/) to extract donor fat from regions where it is typically abundant — the thighs, stomach, hips, and lower back. This helps to slim and tone these areas, adding a secondary benefit to the procedure. Once the donor fat has been sterilized and purified, it is strategically injected into the buttocks to create more rounded, feminine contours, optimizing your silhouette.  #### What Are the Advantages? - Contours and sculpts the backside - Provides natural, youthful-looking enhancement - Expands the client’s clothing choices - Boosts self-confidence - Slims and tones the donor region #### Who Makes an Ideal Candidate? - The patient has ample donor fat available - Healthy non-smoker - Realistic expectations - Seeks to augment their curves after pregnancy or aging - Is willing to follow their surgeon’s instructions ### Our World-Class Facility Every aspect of The LaVie Institute was designed with patient comfort, ease, and rejuvenation in mind. From our inviting, climate-controlled reception area to our 8 state-of-the-art treatment suites and 2 onsite accredited operating theaters, our practice is equipped to provide a seamless, revitalizing experience where every client receives personalized attention. For hand and reconstructive surgeries, we provide access to our cutting-edge hospital-based clinic, affiliated with the renowned [Swedish Medical Center](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/about/our-facilities/swedish-medical-center/) as well as other reputable outpatient surgery centers.  ### How is the Procedure Performed? The first step of a [BBL](https://www.americanboardcosmeticsurgery.org/cosmetic-procedures/body/brazilian-butt-lift-surgery/) is to extract autologous fat from areas of the body where there is an excess, typically the belly, flanks, waist, or lower back. A tiny incision is made, through which a slender metal suction tube known as a cannula is inserted. Smaller cannulas work best to ensure the survival of the fat cells. Once the fat cells have been vacuumed out, they are then sterilized and purified, readying them for injection into the buttocks. Your surgeon will use the harvested fat to create beautiful, rounded contours that reflect your aesthetic tastes and fulfill your vision of a more youthful, attractive physique. ### Brazilian Butt Lift Recovery After your Brazilian butt lift in Denver, Parker, Lone Tree, or Centennial, minor bruising and swelling may be present at both the donor and recipient sites. These side effects last about 7-10 days on average. While the body does absorb a portion of the injected fat, the majority of transplanted fat cells will remain for long-lasting enhancement. Additional BBL sessions can help refine your contours according to your taste.  Unlike augmentation with implants, a Brazilian butt lift performed with natural fat transfer allows most patients to return to work within 3-5 days. Despite this, it can still take 4-6 weeks for clients to resume exercise and heavy lifting. In the first week or so, gentle walks are encouraged to help support healthy circulation and prevent clotting. A compression garment will be worn for several weeks that helps to minimize swelling and protect your newly sculpted contours. Patients should avoid sitting directly on the buttocks for 6-8 weeks, using a donut pillow instead to keep pressure off of the grafted fat. As recovery continues, it is prudent to avoid sitting for long periods of time. ### FAQ Where is the fat taken from for the butt lift? How long can the fat survive? How much fat is needed to perform a Brazilian butt lift? What are the risks of a BBL? ### Where is the fat taken from for the butt lift? Fat is typically extracted from the flanks, hips, abdomen, and lower back for buttock augmentation. ### How long can the fat survive? Once the fat cells are thriving in their new location and their blood supply is secure, they can potentially last a lifetime. ### How much fat is needed to perform a Brazilian butt lift? This depends on the degree of enhancement sought by the patient as well as the amount of donor fat that is available. It is common to inject 300-1200 ccs of fat per butt cheek during a BBL. ### What are the risks of a BBL? As with any surgical procedure, patients are exposed to risks that include bleeding, infection, and scarring. There is a low chance that the fat may be reabsorbed, negating the cosmetic effects of the procedure. ### Why Choose The LaVie Institute?

Loss of volume in the hands occurs over time as a result of diminishing collagen and... ## Hand Rejuvenation in Denver, CO While most clients are aware of rejuvenation techniques that address the face and neck, they may not realize that the hands can also be beautifully revived and replenished through strategic procedures such as fat grafting and [injectables](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/non-surgical/injectables/).  ### Youthful Hand Renewal Hand rejuvenation can address wrinkles, sagging, hyperpigmentation, and overly prominent tendons that form in the hands as a result of the aging process, exposure to the elements, and sun damage. Loss of volume in the hands occurs over time as a result of diminishing collagen and elastin reserves. Our state-of-the-art hand rejuvenation treatments can create a more youthful appearance and allow you to feel confident wearing rings and bracelets.  ### What is Hand Rejuvenation? The approach to hand rejuvenation is two-fold. Volume loss must be addressed to give the hands a more plump, supple look, and the skin’s texture must be corrected to achieve a smooth, blemish-free appearance. We use fat grafting, laser therapy, and dermal fillers to accomplish these goals, comprehensively combating the signs of aging. Hand rejuvenation can… - Replenish lost fat volume - Reduce the look of prominent tendons and veins - Correct age spots and hyperpigmentation - Create a more youthful, inviting appearance ### Who is a Good Candidate for Hand Rejuvenation? If you have grown self-conscious about the appearance of your hands due to enlarged tendons and veins, discoloration, and volume loss, our innovative hand rejuvenation techniques can help restore peace of mind and self-confidence. Patients pursuing treatment should be in good overall health, non-smoking, and realistic in their expectations, based on their private consultation with our friendly, knowledgeable team. #### Dr. Endress was exceptional with his communication concerning the procedure. He made my wife and I very comfortable and confident with his detailed explanations of what to expect. Have used him numerous times and every experience was the same.  Great person as well as Doctor. Scott McCaskill ### Hand Rejuvenation Techniques #### Dermal Fillers Temporary fillers like [Sculptra](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/non-surgical/injectables/sculptra/) can help replenish collagen reserves and rebuild the skin’s structure from within. They can also combat volume loss, plumping the hand contours for a more youthful aesthetic. The treatment takes just minutes to perform and comes with no discomfort or downtime. #### Laser Skin Resurfacing Our sophisticated laser modalities can eradicate lines, hyperpigmentation, and age spots, revealing a more vibrant and inviting skin tone and texture. Laser therapy not only removes surface-level damage but also triggers collagen regeneration at a deeper level. #### Fat Transfer Fat grafting uses the patient’s own tissue to enhance volume and provide natural-looking rejuvenation in the hands. Fat cells are harvested from the belly, thighs, or flanks, offering the dual benefits of sculpting the donor regions.  ### Your Detailed Consultation During your consultation, we will examine your hands, delve into the root causes of your cosmetic concerns, and engineer a winning treatment plan that accomplishes your goals for improvement. We will explain the details of our chosen approach, going over the risks and benefits, the downtime, and what you can expect in terms of your results.

Sagging labia lips can cause chafing and irritation, inhibit healthy sexual function, and lead to self-consciousness due to their asymmetrical or elongated appearance. Our labiaplasty in Denver is... ## Labiaplasty in Denver, CO Labiaplasty is performed to elevate both form and function in the vaginal area, allowing women to enjoy improved comfort, a more youthful appearance, and enhanced peace of mind. ### Denver Labia Restoration With pregnancy, weight loss, and aging, the labia lips lose their natural firmness. Sagging labia lips can cause chafing and irritation, inhibit healthy sexual function, and lead to self-consciousness due to their asymmetrical or elongated appearance. Our labiaplasty in Denver is a minor surgical procedure to restore balance in the vaginal region, helping women to regain enjoyment of sports, activities, and intimacy. ### What is Labiaplasty? Women seek out labiaplasty for many different reasons. Some are struggling with enlarged labia lips that make it difficult to exercise or enjoy sexual intimacy. Others are bothered by chafing, irritation, and discomfort along with a curtailment of their clothing choices. In all cases, labiaplasty can help restore the appearance and function of a woman’s lower body, reestablishing her confidence and peace of mind. ### Why Do Women Pursue Labiaplasty? Some women suffer a condition called labia minora hypertrophy, which can occur due to genetics, aging, weight loss, or pregnancy/childbirth. When the inner labia lips sag below the outer labia lips (labia majora), they may instigate discomfort, irritation, and chafing, inhibiting the patient’s natural movements during exercise, activities, sports, and intercourse. Naturally, some women will pursue our labiaplasty in Denver solely for the cosmetic improvements the procedure brings. The surgery can restore a naturally balanced, symmetrical appearance. Labiaplasty can: - Reduce enlarged labia lips - Improve labia symmetry - Combat changes due to aging, pregnancy, and weight loss - Relieve discomfort and irritation - Expand participation in activities and sports - Rejuvenate the appearance of the vaginal region ### How is Labiaplasty Performed? #### Consultation Our team will perform a physical evaluation and a thorough review of your medical history, answering all your questions in depth. We will then create a personalized treatment plan that helps achieve your unique goals for improvement.  #### Anesthesia Labiaplasty can be performed under general or local anesthesia. We will discuss your options during your private consultation. Your safety and comfort are our utmost priorities. #### Trim Technique The surgeon will remove redundant labial tissue, suturing the remaining skin along the new edge of the labia structure. The darker portions of the labia are thus excised, making this approach a popular and sought-after solution. #### Wedge Technique With this approach, the surgeon removes a triangle-shaped wedge of tissue from both sides of the labia, suturing the incisions afterward. The natural labial edge is preserved while lip size is decreased. The darker areas of the labia are left undisturbed. ### Labiaplasty with Local Anesthesia Experience a more comfortable, convenient approach to labiaplasty. Many women prefer undergoing the procedure with local anesthesia only, avoiding the risks and downtime that come with general anesthesia. - No general anesthesia required - Faster recovery and minimal downtime - Safe, effective, and discreet procedure - Return to daily activities sooner ### What is a Labiaplasty? ### What Are the Benefits of Labiaplasty? - Improves symmetry - Trims excess labia skin - Enhances physical comfort - Increases intimate pleasure - Corrects age-related changes - Restores sensation - Expands clothing options - Boosts self-confidence ### Our World-Class Facility The LaVie Institute is an inviting, welcoming practice where elegant decor is paired with state-of-the-art technology and equipment. Our optimized 8-room clinic is housed alongside our two onsite accredited operating theaters, where our board-certified surgeons perform a wide range of transformative procedures. For hand and reconstructive surgeries, we offer access to our hospital-based clinic affiliated with the prestigious Swedish Medical Center and other elite outpatient surgery centers. We strive to exceed expectations from the moment you walk through the door until long after you have completed your recovery. ### Is Labiaplasty Right For Me? - You are in good mental and physical health - You are a non-smoker or are willing to quit temporarily - You have realistic expectations for your results - You are experiencing discomfort, irritation, or chafing - Your labia lips are elongated or asymmetrical - Your body has changed due to aging, weight loss, or childbirth ### After Labiaplasty #### Labiaplasty Recovery Minor soreness after your labiaplasty in Denver is to be expected but can be well-controlled with prescription pain medications provided by your surgeon. You may also encounter mild swelling and bruising that will gradually dissipate within the coming weeks. Most patients take one week off from work and should avoid intercourse and strenuous activities for 4-6 weeks, or as advised by the doctor. #### Labiaplasty Results While minor swelling can persist for up to six months, you will be able to begin seeing and feeling improvement within about six weeks. [After labiaplasty](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4544281/), there is little visible scarring, as the incisions are well-hidden within the natural folds of the labia and this area typically heals very well. Clients who undergo labiaplasty experience increased self-confidence, a return of enjoyment performing their favorite activities, and a deeper sense of intimate pleasure. #### Dr Daniali is amazing in so many ways! I am very pleased with the final outcome and would highly recommend her. Dr Daniali is very articulate and she is a good listener. She will tell you straight up what is realistic and what is not and she will give you options to consider. I felt very well cared for each time we had an office visit and with each surgery. Her compassion really shines through in her work. Jen Swann ### Why Choose The LaVie Institute? At The LaVie Institute, we are dedicated to making your personal enhancement journey exceptional.

The procedure is performed to sculpt the body's curves... ## Liposuction in Denver, CO Liposuction is among the world’s most popular body contouring procedures, thanks to its versatility and effectiveness. It can be used to trim excess stubborn fat from multiple areas of the body, restoring a slim, sculpted physique and improved bodily proportions. ### Liposuction Overview ### Stubborn Fat Solution For individuals who are struggling with localized pockets of stubborn fat despite consistent efforts at the gym and a healthy diet, our liposuction in Denver, Parker, Lone Tree, and Centennial may be an ideal solution. The procedure is performed to sculpt the body’s curves, optimizing clothing choices while enhancing self-confidence. Liposuction is often a component of a [mommy makeover](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/mommy-makeover/) and can also be performed in tandem with an [arm lift](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/arm-lift/), [thigh lift](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/thigh-lift/), [abdominoplasty](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/tummy-tuck/), or [body contouring](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/body-contouring-after-weight-loss/) after weight loss procedure. ### Why Select The LaVie Institute for Liposuction? Our four board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeons provide personalized care in an immaculate, safety-oriented environment. Our onsite accredited operating theaters offer access to state-of-the-art technology and cutting-edge equipment, helping to expedite recovery and minimize complications. We recognize that each patient is on a unique life journey, and our goal is to support them through nuanced and natural-looking outcomes tailored to their individual needs and aesthetic goals. We believe in empowering our clients with the knowledge, information, and insight they deserve in order to make the best decisions possible. ### What is Liposuction? Many individuals think of liposuction as a weight-loss method, but it is actually a fat-loss procedure to contour and sculpt the physique in areas that are highly resistant to dieting and exercise. Ideal candidates are already at or close to their ideal weight but are unhappy with localized pockets of stubborn fat. The procedure can help obtain a better fit in clothing as well as an optimized self-image. Liposuction is an extremely versatile procedure that is frequently performed in tandem with other cosmetic treatments to maximize results. It is also used as a component of fat transfer procedures to harvest fat cells from a donor region such as the hips, belly, or flanks. Liposuction techniques include tumescent lipo, [SmartLipo (laser lipo)](https://www.plasticsurgery.org/cosmetic-procedures/liposuction-assisted), ultrasonic lipo, and power-assisted lipo.  ### What Areas Can Be Treated With Lipo? There are several areas that can be treated with liposuction in Denver : - Upper arms - Thighs - Stomach - Back - Male chest - Bra rolls - Hips - Waist - Buttocks - Neck - Chin - Knees ### How is Liposuction Performed? During your consultation, our team will create a treatment plan to address the areas of your body in need of sculpting via liposuction. Your surgeon will create small incisions in the treatment areas that are well-hidden to minimize future scarring. A slender tube called a cannula is then inserted and used to suction out the fat cells.  While the procedure may sound simple, it requires the eye and hand of a trained artist in order to ensure that neither too much nor too little fat is removed and that the final result is elegant, natural-looking, and personalized. Our team is dedicated to achieving your ideal look and creating the dramatic yet tasteful outcomes you seek. #### Benefits Liposuction in Denver delivery benefits that: - Removes stubborn pockets of localized fat - Sculpts and refines the body’s curves - Enhances the results of other surgical procedures - Helps expand wardrobe options - Boosts self-confidence - Helps patients get more out of their workouts #### Candidacy You may be a candidate for liposuction if you are: - In good mental and physical health - Non-smoking, or willing to quit before and after surgery - Free from any uncontrolled medical concerns - A realistic, positive attitude - Has not obtained results through dieting and exercise ### Liposuction FAQ What is the difference between liposuction and tummy tuck surgery? Will I have loose skin after liposuction? What are the risks associated with liposuction? Are the results from liposuction permanent? Will I have visible scarring? ### What is the difference between liposuction and tummy tuck surgery? A tummy tuck addresses excess sagging skin in the midsection and weakened, separated abdominal muscles. Liposuction is used to remove pockets of stubborn localized fat that is compromising and distorting the figure. The two treatments are often combined to create comprehensive improvement. ### Will I have loose skin after liposuction? Liposuction can remove fat but it is not the ideal choice for combating sagging, redundant skin folds. If you are concerned with loose skin, a thigh lift, tummy tuck, arm lift, or body contouring after weight loss procedure may be the best option, combined with liposuction. ### What are the risks associated with liposuction? Every surgical procedure comes with risks but our team does everything possible to minimize complications by adhering to a conservative, detail-oriented approach. Risks include bleeding, infection, swelling, bruising, scarring, and temporary numbness. We will discuss the risks in more detail during your private consultation. ### Are the results from liposuction permanent? The fat cells removed during liposuction will not come back. If the patient does accumulate fat after the procedure, it will be distributed more evenly across the body. Our team recommends following a healthy diet and exercise regimen after treatment to ensure the longevity of your results. ### Will I have visible scarring? The incisions with liposuction are small, so scarring is typically inconspicuous. Incisions are placed in areas where they will be the least noticeable, such as the natural skin folds. ### Recovery After Liposuction Most patients can resume normal activities within the first week after their liposuction in Denver, Parker, Lone Tree, and Centennial and typically only need mild painkillers to contend with discomfort. Minor swelling, bruising, and tenderness may be present, as well as tingling or temporary numbness. These are all normal side effects of surgery and will disappear gradually in the coming weeks. You will be fitted with a compression garment to keep your sculpted contours intact, which should be worn for up to one month. You will receive a detailed aftercare plan with instructions for wound care, bathing and showering, sleeping, resuming exercise, and returning to work. Be forewarned that it can take up to 6 months for residual swelling to fade and for you to see the full and final results of liposuction. As with all our procedures, we provide ongoing support throughout your recovery, scheduling regular follow-up visits to ensure your healing is progressing seamlessly. #### I was a patient of Dr. Daniali for over a year.

(Vaginal Tightening)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgYC2AFr_i0) [Patient Testimonial - Breast Lift](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4F3-DJkt3vE) ### Patient Testimonial ### What Procedures Are Included? #### Breast surgery  Our skilled surgeons can perform [breast augmentation](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/breast/breast-augmentation/) to restore volume and shape after nursing or a breast lift to address skin ptosis and downward-facing nipples. Some women will opt for a breast reduction to ease the discomfort and fatigue associated with oversized breasts.  #### Liposuction [Liposuction](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/liposuction/) is a body contouring procedure to remove excess stubborn fat from multiple areas of the physique, restoring tighter, more sculpted contours. In some cases, the extracted fat can be used as part of a fat transfer procedure (Brazilian butt lift or facial fat grafting.) #### Abdominoplasty A [tummy tuck](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/tummy-tuck/) can remove redundant skin folds from the midsection while combating pockets of fat and tightening separated or weakened abdominal muscles. Women enjoy a flatter, more youthful-looking stomach after surgery, with enhanced wardrobe options. #### Labiaplasty After pregnancy, the labia lips may stretch out and lose their natural shapely appearance. [Labiaplasty](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/labiaplasty/) restores both form and function, optimizing your intimate life while enhancing comfort. Many abandoned sports, hobbies, and activities become enjoyable once more after labiaplasty. #### Facial rejuvenation Our team can perform facial rejuvenation using [injectables](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/non-surgical/injectables/) and dermal fillers, eradicating lines and wrinkles while enhancing volume and radiance. Fillers can be used to create a non-surgical facelift or rhinoplasty, balancing the features and restoring definition in the jawline. #### Mommy Makeover Recovery Because each treatment plan is highly individualized, recovery times will vary from client to client. For more invasive procedures, downtime of 1-3 weeks can be expected. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions along with prescription pain medications and compression garments to help reduce swelling. #### Mommy Makeover Results A mommy makeover typically results in a more sculpted, slim, and youthful-looking physique. The breast shape and volume is restored, pockets of stubborn fat are eliminated, and the belly appears flat and toned. While there will always be scarring following any surgical procedure, most women feel the tradeoff is well worth it. ### Mommy Makeover FAQ Are there any risks associated with a mommy makeover?

The surgery can be performed to reshape both the inner and outer thighs, removing exces... ## Thigh Lift in Denver, CO Cosmetic thigh lift surgery relies on a combination of excision and [liposuction](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/liposuction/) to beautifully sculpt the upper legs, restoring a sexier, more youthful aesthetic. Patients feel empowered to enjoy all their favorite outfits, feeling confident they look their best. ### Thigh Lift Overview ### Sculpted Leg Lift For patients who have not been able to achieve their ideal body contouring results through dieting and exercise, our thigh lift in Denver can help achieve a more sculpted upper leg appearance. The surgery can be performed to reshape both the inner and outer thighs, removing excess skin, fat, and tissue for a leaner silhouette.  ### What is a Thigh Lift? After significant weight loss or the aging process, excess skin and fat can accumulate in the thigh area, compromising the appearance and making it difficult to find a comfortable fit in jeans, shorts, and skirts. Many patients hide their legs due to self-consciousness about their thighs, despite having accomplished their individual weight loss goals.  Our thigh lift in Denver is a surgical procedure to slim, tone, and rejuvenate the upper legs. When coupled with a healthy lifestyle, the procedure can dramatically rejuvenate your physique. We believe that weight loss should be rewarded with a positive self-image and enhanced confidence, not another aesthetic problem to contend with. #### Benefits of Thighplasty Thigh lifts offers both functional and cosmetic improvements for patients seeking firmer, more proportionate legs: - Removes redundant skin and pockets of fat - Sculpts the upper legs after aging or weight loss - Enhances self-confidence and self-image - Expands clothing opportunities - Can contour both the inner and outer thighs #### Candidacy for Thighplasty Thighplasty offers both functional and cosmetic improvements for patients seeking firmer, more proportionate legs - In good mental and physical health - Free from any uncontrolled medical concerns - Non-smoking or willing to quit  - Realistic expectations  - Has not found relief through dieting and exercise  ### How Is My Personalized Thigh Lift Performed?  [Thigh lift surgery](https://www.plasticsurgery.org/cosmetic-procedures/thigh-lift) is typically performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia and takes roughly 2-4 hours to complete. Thigh lift incisions vary according to your unique treatment plan and the amount of skin, fat, and tissue that needs to be removed. The surgeon may opt to utilize liposuction in combination with excision to further sculpt your upper legs and remove pockets of stubborn fat that do not respond to exercise. Your surgeon will perform a medial or vertical thigh lift technique. Medial thigh lift — Here, the incisions are placed within the creases of the groin, extending to the lower buttocks. Vertical thigh lift — Skin and tissue is removed from the inner thighs using a vertical incision that stretches from the groin to the inner leg near the knee. ### Our Facility The LaVie Institute is home to a state-of-the-art 8-room clinic along with 2 onsite accredited operating theaters for maximized convenience, comfort, and safety. For hand and reconstructive procedures, we provide access to our cutting-edge hospital-based clinic, affiliated with the Swedish Medical Center and other top-tier outpatient surgery centers. Our ultimate goal is a seamless, stress-free patient experience that results in elevated peace of mind and stunning outcomes. ### Recovery After a thigh lift, you will need a responsible adult to drive you home and assist you for the first 24-48 hours. You should schedule childcare ahead of time to help reduce stress. Discomfort, soreness, swelling, and bruising are all normal side effects after surgery and can be well-controlled with pain medications provided by our team.  While it may be counterintuitive, your surgeon may recommend walking right away to help boost circulation, prevent clotting, reduce constipation, and elevate your mood. However, most patients will need to take around 2 weeks off from work and avoid strenuous activity and exercise for up to 4 weeks, or as recommended by your surgeon. #### Dr. Pulikkottil was simply outstanding. From our first meeting, even over zoom, I knew I was working with an experienced professional. On the day of the surgery, I appreciated his calm demeanor and comforting words. He met with me before and after and discussed the entire process and told me what to expect for recovery. The results speak for themselves. He and his entire staff are simply the best. I would not consider going anywhere else. Jason Smith ### Why Choose The LaVie Institute? At The LaVie Institute, we place your personal enhancement journey at the center of our mission.

Remove excess skin, tighten abdominal muscles, and restore contour with expert surgical care. ## Tummy Tuck in Denver, CO Our tummy tuck in Denver, Parker, Lone Tree, and Centennial can help restore a flat, sculpted midsection, combating the changes that occur in the physique after aging, weight loss, or pregnancy. The surgery removes excess skin folds, trims fatty tissue, and tightens separated or weakened abdominal muscles. ### Abdominoplasty Overview ### Tummy Tuck Transformation Many patients devote themselves to dieting and exercise but are still unable to achieve the toned, streamlined stomach contours they desire. After pregnancy, women may encounter a condition called diastasis recti or diastasis recti abdominis. This refers to the separation of the abdominal muscles after childbirth and only a cosmetic intervention can restore a sense of normalcy. A tummy tuck is performed alone or in combination with a [mommy makeover](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/mommy-makeover/) to boost self-confidence, expand clothing options, and complete an already healthy lifestyle.  ### What is a Tummy Tuck? A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is among the most requested and frequently performed surgeries in the world. Our tummy tuck in Denver, Parker, Lone Tree, and Centennial is designed to remove excess skin that has accumulated in the midsection after aging, pregnancy, or weight loss. The underlying muscles are tightened, and the belly button is repositioned in a more youthful and attractive location. Many surgeons will use [liposuction](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/liposuction/) in tandem with excision to remove pockets of stubborn fat that don’t respond to dieting and workouts, further sculpting and contouring the area. #### Warning: This gallery contains nudity.

Ok ### Tummy Tuck Before & After [View Gallery](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/gallery/body-procedures/abdominoplasty/) ### Patient Testimonial - Tummy Tuck ### Who is a Good Candidate for a Tummy Tuck? The best tummy tuck candidates are in good mental and physical health, are free from any uncontrolled medical issues, are at a stable weight, and are realistic in their expectations. They have tried dieting and exercise yet have found that they still struggle with sagging skin, excess fat, and weakened abdominal muscles. It is advised that patients have already completed their families before pursuing a tummy tuck, as additional pregnancies can alter the results. While most tummy tuck candidates are women, men are also good candidates and frequently undergo abdominoplasty to complement their already active and fit lifestyles.  ### Abdominal Muscle (Rectus Diastsis) Correction While pregnancy is a life-affirming event, it can also take a significant toll on the figure. Bulging contours, and excess drooping skin are among the cosmetic results of childbirth. A common problem is diastasis recti, or the separation of the six-pack muscles (rectus abdominis.) This can not only create aesthetic concerns but can also cause lower back pain, herniation, incontinence, and digestive disorders.  Diastasis recti repair surgery can help restore a woman’s comfort, peace of mind, and quality of life. It is performed in combination with a tummy tuck to comprehensviely rejuvenate the midsection. Through abdominoplasty, the defect is permanently corrected, bringing the two sides of the rectus abdominis together, tightening and reshaping the belly. If a hernia repair is also required, it can be completed at this time. ### Types of Tummy Tucks #### Full Abdominoplasty A full tummy tuck delivers dramatic contouring results by removing redundant skin folds, firming the abdominal muscles, and trimming excess fatty tissue. It can also address stretch marks that lie below the navel. #### Mini Abdominoplasty A partial, or “mini” tummy tuck, is performed with a shorter incision and addresses skin folds below the navel. The belly button is not repositioned as it is during a full abdominoplasty.  #### Extended Abdominoplasty This procedure combines a traditional tummy tuck with contouring for the flanks, hips, and lateral thighs to create dramatic changes from every angle. Liposuction can be used to further sculpt and refine the torso.  #### Dr. Pulikkottil is an amazing doctor! Very professional and very friendly! He answered all my questions and made me feel so comfortable instantly. My stress level was reduced instantly! I thank God for placing Dr. Pulikkottil in my life.  Angelica Rodriguez ### Tummy Tuck FAQ When can I see my results? What will scarring be like after abdominoplasty? Can a tummy tuck help with stretch marks? Is it safe to combine a tummy tuck with other procedures? Will a tummy tuck help me lose weight? ### When can I see my results? Swelling will gradually decrease over the span of 3-4 months with results slowly emerging. Some patients may even see changes within a matter of weeks. After one year, you will feel as though your flatter, more toned belly is just a natural aspect of your physique that has always been there. ### What will scarring be like after abdominoplasty? All surgeries come with scars, but our surgeons will do everything possible to place incisions in areas where they can be well-hidden. A full tummy tuck has a scar stretching from hip to hip across the lower abdomen. The scar is typically low enough that it can be concealed by the bikini or panty line. ### Can a tummy tuck help with stretch marks? A tummy tuck can remove some stretch marks, particularly those located on the lower abdomen below the belly button. However, it won't eliminate all stretch marks, especially those above the navel. The procedure's primary goal is to remove excess skin and tighten abdominal muscles, with stretch mark removal being a secondary benefit. ### Is it safe to combine a tummy tuck with other procedures? Yes, it's common to combine a tummy tuck with other cosmetic procedures, such as liposuction or breast surgeries, in what's often referred to as a mommy makeover. Combining procedures can reduce overall recovery time and cost. ### Will a tummy tuck help me lose weight? A tummy tuck is not a weight loss procedure. While it can result in the removal of several pounds of excess skin and fat, it is designed primarily for body contouring rather than weight reduction. Ideal candidates are already close to their target weight and want to improve abdominal shape and firmness. ### The Tummy Tuck Procedure Our abdominoplasty in Denver typically calls for two incisions. One stretches from hip to hip across the lower belly near the pubic area, and another encircles the navel. Once the skin is separated from the underlying structures, the surgeon will tighten the abdominal muscles, restoring a toned, sculpted midsection.  [Liposuction](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/liposuction/) may be used to remove stubborn pockets of fat. The skin is then redraped over the stomach and excess skin folds are trimmed. The belly button is repositioned in a more youthful-looking location. Finally, the incisions are closed and a sterile dressing is applied to the sutured areas. ### Recovery After Abdominoplasty After surgery, you will need a responsible adult to escort you home and assist you for the first 24-48 hours of your [recovery](https://www.plasticsurgery.org/cosmetic-procedures/liposuction/recovery). A compression garment is placed to help reduce swelling and you may be fitted with temporary drains that help remove excess blood and fluids from the body. Gentle walks are encouraged right away, as they can help boost circulation and minimize complications. Most clients can return to work within about 2 weeks, provided that their jobs are sedentary. Patients should postpone strenuous activities for up to 6 weeks. You will receive prescription pain medications as well as a detailed aftercare plan. Our team is always here to answer any questions and guide your healing process. We will schedule follow-up visits to ensure your recovery remains on track. ### Why Choose The LaVie Institute?

Our clients report their results appear more natural than they ever could have envisioned. Providing patients with aesthetic and emotional satisfaction is among our chief practice objectives. We love to empower women with self-confidence that radiates outward to every area of their lives. ### Enhance Your Confidence with Breast Augmentation Considering breast augmentation? At LaVie Plastic Surgery, we offer expert breast enhancement, including implants and natural fat transfer, tailored to your goals. Using advanced Vectra 3D imaging, we help you visualize your results before surgery. Our board-certified surgeons prioritize safety, artistry, and natural-looking outcomes. Schedule your consultation today! ### What is Breast Augmentation? There are many factors that may cause a woman’s breasts to deflate, including pregnancy, nursing, the aging process, and weight fluctuations. Additionally, some women are just born with smaller breasts that are not proportionate to their bodies. Breast augmentation is a surgical body sculpting procedure performed to restore volume in the chest and create a stunning, naturally beautiful silhouette. It is most commonly performed using implants (saline, silicone, or Gummy Bear) but can also be achieved through the use of autologous fat grafting. Our team will determine your individual aesthetic goals during your private consultation and help craft a treatment plan that will accomplish the improvements you seek. ### What is a Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation? We offer autologous fat grafting for natural breast augmentation that allows for rapid recovery and avoidance of foreign materials in the body.  Our results are authentic-looking yet enhanced, with an emphasis on functionality. [Fat transfer breast augmentation](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/breast/fat-transfer-breast-augmentation/) can typically increase the bust by one cup size. Women seeking modest breast enhancement may find fat grafting to be an ideal option, as there are no complications to worry about, no MRIs required to detect rupture, and no risk of BII (Breast Implant Illness) or [capsular contracture](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/breast/breast-implant-removal/). You can discuss whether a fat transfer breast augmentation will achieve your goals with our caring team during your private consultation. ### Breast Augmentation at LaVie ### Transformation Gallery [Discover Patient Results](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/gallery/body-procedures/breast-augmentation/) ### Patient Testimonial - Breast Surgery ### Patient Testimonial - Breast Enhancement ### Your In-Depth Breast Augmentation Consultation The goal of the consultation process is for both the patient and surgeon to understand mutual expectations for results and delineate the treatment process from pre-op to complete recovery. We will answer your questions and concerns, conduct a thorough review of your medical history, and perform the necessary laboratory testing to ensure that the procedure will be safe and effective for you. ### Schedule a Consultation [Contact Us](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/contact/) ### Breast Implant Types We will guide you through the implant selection process, taking careful note of your preferences, anatomy, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals. You will be able to “try on” different implants under your blouse to get a better sense of how your final outcome will appear. During this time, you are welcome to elicit feedback from friends and loved ones. Our team understands that each choice is personal and should reflect the individual. #### Saline Saline implants are typically inserted unfilled, providing the patient with the advantage of minimized scarring. Once they are in place, they are then inflated using sterilized saltwater. #### Silicone Silicone implants are considered to have a highly authentic look and feel. They come in many different shapes, sizes, and textures for the ultimate customization process.  #### Gummy Bear Gummy Bear implants are made with a form-stable gel that provides a realistic, natural look and flawless functionality. They are shaped like teardrops, which help to reinforce the body’s organic contours. #### Dr. Daniali is an outstanding medical professional. She made me feel incredibly comfortable and relaxed throughout my entire procedure as well as pre/post op. She is very down-to-Earth, easy to talk to, and exceptionally intelligent. I highly recommend her & would go back to her in a heartbeat if I needed. Nicole Mammen ### Incision Techniques The choice of incision placement will depend on a variety of factors, including the implant size and type, your concerns regarding scarring, whether you plan to breastfeed in the future, and others. Your incision placement will be discussed in depth during your private consultation so that you fully understand the pros and cons of each option and can make the most informed, empowered decision. #### Periareolar Here, the incision encircles the outer edge of the areola with scarring concealed within the naturally darker pigmentation of the area. This approach is often chosen for patients pursuing breast augmentation in combination with mastopexy.  #### Inframammary With this approach, the incision is created horizontally along the inframammary fold. This technique affords the surgeon a great deal of flexibility and precision when placing the implants. Scarring is typically well-hidden by the bra line. #### Transaxillary A transaxillary incision is made within the folds of the armpits where scarring will be inconspicuous. This approach is least disruptive for patients concerned about breastfeeding in the future. ### Patient Testimonial - Breast Augmentation ### Who is a good candidate for breast augmentation in Denver, CO? Breast augmentation is a personal choice and should be performed for yourself and not to please others. When the procedure is genuinely desired by the patient, it can lead to stunning results with a high degree of aesthetic and emotional satisfaction. The best way to know if you qualify for our breast augmentation in Denver, Parker, Lone Tree, and Centennial is to attend a private consultation with our caring and knowledgeable team.  You may be an [excellent candidate](https://www.plasticsurgery.org/cosmetic-procedures/breast-augmentation/candidates) if: - You are in good mental and physical health - You are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding - Your breasts are fully developed - You are unhappy with your breast shape and size - You have lost breast volume after aging, pregnancy, or massive weight loss - You are struggling with breast asymmetry - You have realistic expectations - You are willing to follow your surgeon’s instructions ### Breast Implant Placement Implant placement will be determined based on your lifestyle and activity level, your body type, overall health, implant size, and implant type (silicone, saline, or Gummy Bear.) Our experienced practitioners can help you make the best choice for a sustainable, successful breast augmentation outcome. #### Subglandular Here, the implant is placed over the pec muscle, positioned between the muscle and the breast tissue. Implants are placed beneath the breast glands, however, ensuring that the patient will be able to breastfeed in the future. Implant movement is minimized, and post-operative discomfort is lessened with this approach.  #### Submuscular With this approach, implants are placed beneath the pec muscles. This placement tends to result in a more natural chest appearance and leads to enhanced clarity during mammograms. Complications such as capsular contracture also tend to be reduced. The tradeoff is that recovery may take slightly longer. ### Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation ### What Will My Recovery Entail? After your breast augmentation in Denver, you will go home on the same day. Your surgeon will call you to discuss the post-operative course and provide instructions for wound care, bathing, sleeping, resuming physical activity, and returning to work. You will receive prescriptions for pain management as well as a compression garment to help reduce swelling. Patients are seen one week after surgery and at two weeks thereafter. Typically patients are then seen at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year. Initially after breast augmentation, the breasts sit higher and feel firmer than the final result. Rest assured that we strive to achieve the most natural-looking outcome, and we will work with you throughout your recovery process to make the experience seamless and stress-free.  ### Why Choose The LaVie Institute of Plastic Surgery?

Is breast augmentation safe? Which procedures can be performed to complement breast augmentation? How long do breast implants last? Will my breast augmentation be painful? Will breast augmentation affect my ability to breastfeed? Are there any risks or complications? ### What is the price range for breast augmentation? Costs for breast augmentation in Denver will depend on factors such as the anesthesia fees, facility fees, testing fees, post-operative garment fees, and surgeon’s fees. Please contact us for your personalized plan. ### Is breast augmentation safe? We contract with only board-certified anesthesiologists to ensure patient safety and avoid complications related to anesthesia. Patients may be concerned about asymmetry, capsular contracture, or having the wrong-sized breasts. Our pre- and post-operative consultation process alleviates these concerns. Patients understand that if an adverse cosmetic outcome occurs, our surgeons will ensure that each problem is addressed to the client’s satisfaction. ### Which procedures can be performed to complement breast augmentation? Patients sometimes elect to undergo fat grafting, mastopexy (breast lift), abdominoplasty, liposuction of chest wall and abdomen, and facial rejuvenation in tandem with their breast augmentation. Many clients opt for the full-body mommy makeover to revitalize their appearances from head to toe. ### How long do breast implants last? Breast implants are not guaranteed to last a lifetime. Many women may need replacement surgery at some point. On average, implants can last between 10 to 20 years, but this varies. ### Will my breast augmentation be painful? Most patients experience moderate discomfort after breast augmentation, which is managed with prescription pain medication for the first few days. The majority of post-surgical soreness diminishes quickly, and most return to light activities within a week and full normal activity within 4-6 weeks under guidance from their surgeon. ### Will breast augmentation affect my ability to breastfeed? Most women can breastfeed after breast augmentation, but it's important to discuss your breastfeeding plans with your surgeon, as certain incision locations and implant placements may affect milk production. ### Are there any risks or complications? As with any surgery, there are potential risks, including infection, bleeding, scarring, changes in nipple sensation, implant rupture, and capsular contracture. Your surgeon will discuss these risks with you during the consultation. --- ## Breast Implant Removal Denver URL: https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/breast/breast-implant-removal/ Description: For women struggling with complications after breast augmentation — or for those who wish to return to their original chest size — breast implant removal, schedule a consultation at The LaVie Institute in Denver. ## Breast Implant Removal in Denver, CO For women struggling with complications after [breast augmentation](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/breast/breast-augmentation/) — or for those who simply wish to return to their original chest size — breast implant removal can provide enhanced comfort, security, and peace of mind. ### Natural Breast Restoration While most [breast augmentation](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/breast/breast-augmentation/) clients are thrilled with their results, some women experience the risk of rupture, capsular contracture, BII (breast implant illness), rippling, or BIA-ALCL and seek out explantation to mitigate their concerns. Others will choose our breast implant removal in Denver because they desire a more natural breast appearance, as their aesthetic tastes have changed over time. ### What Sets The LaVie Institute of Plastic Surgery Apart? At The LaVie Institute, we walk side by side with our patients on their road to aesthetic fulfillment, supporting their journeys towards the realization of their ideal selves. By delivering comprehensive, patient-centric care in a technologically advanced, accredited environment, we empower our clients to live their best lives. We understand our patients each have different backgrounds, goals, values, and desires.  For this reason, we cater to patients individually, looking deeper to create a personalized plan for resolving their concerns. Our board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeons take all the time necessary to achieve an outstanding outcome that exceeds expectations. ### What is Breast Implant Removal? [Breast implant removal](https://www.plasticsurgery.org/cosmetic-procedures/breast-implant-removal) (“explant” surgery) is performed to relieve complications associated with implant devices and/or to restore the patient’s chest appearance to a more natural-looking aesthetic. It can provide relief, comfort, and peace of mind for patients who have not received the results they imagined after breast augmentation. Our surgeons can either completely remove the implants or they can replace them with new ones. If the implants are placed above the pec muscles, they can be repositioned beneath in a submuscular location. Another option is to remove the implants and then perform a fat transfer breast augmentation, which uses the patient’s own autologous fat to enhance the bust. A breast lift can be performed in tandem with implant removal to create a lifted, youthful silhouette. This allows the breasts to appear balanced and elegant, with appropriately upturned nipples. Our team will go above and beyond to ensure that your final result is well-suited to your figure and reflects your wishes for a harmonized, attractive physique. #### From the moment I stepped into Dr. Daniali’s office I felt like I was in good hands.

You won't be disappointed with Dr. Daniali and her team! Suree Towfighnia ### Reasons for Breast Implant Removal #### Capsular Contracture The body naturally forms a protective layer of collagen-based scar tissue around any foreign material, including implants. In rare cases, the scar tissue hardens, causing discomfort as well as aesthetic distortion for the client. This is called capsular contracture and it is among the most common reasons that women seek out breast implant removal procedures. #### Rupture On rare occasions, an implant can leak or rupture. In the case of saline implants, the saltwater is harmlessly absorbed by the body. With silicone implants, the rupture may be indetectable and the patient must undergo MRI scanning to determine the extent of implant damage. Ruptured implants will need to be removed completely or replaced. #### Malposition Implants can shift position, migrating too close together, too far apart, too high, or too low on the chest wall. When this happens, the chest appearance is compromised and the implants will need to be removed or adjusted. Occasionally, implant malposition occurs when the patient chooses implants that are the wrong size for her frame. #### Breast Implant illness (BII) Breast Implant Illness involves a range of symptoms from chronic fatigue and joint pain to sleep disturbances, headaches, and depression. It can occur with any type of implant (saline, silicone, Gummy Bear). It has been associated with autoimmune diseases, although there is no medical diagnosis for it. Most women experience relief after the implants and capsules are removed. #### BIA-ALCL Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is classified as a non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the scar tissue encasing the implant. It is associated with textured implants, which have been recalled by the FDA. If left untreated, it can metastasize and spread to the lymph nodes. Treatment involves the surgical removal of the implants and attendant scar tissue. In some cases, radiation or chemotherapy may be advised. #### A Change of Heart As a woman gets older, her aesthetic tastes may change and she may wish to return to a more modest breast appearance or exchange her implants for a fat transfer augmentation. If the implants are removed, our team can perform a breast lift procedure to ensure the chest looks balanced, symmetrical, and youthful. ### How Is Explant Surgery Performed? Our explant surgery in Denver typically takes 1-4 hours to complete, depending on the technique utilized and your specific concerns. Most patients can expect to resume work within the first week after surgery. In general, recovery will be less involved than it was with breast augmentation, as the surgeon will not be creating a capsule from scratch as they did during the original procedure.  Our surgeons strive to reuse the original incisions wherever possible to minimize the need for additional scarring. This is usually possible when the incisions were placed at the inframammary fold or encircling the areolas. In cases of BII, capsular contractures, rupture, or BIA-ALCL, our surgeons may need to perform a capsulectomy in addition to implant removal.  ### Exploring Capsulectomy When an implant is inserted into the body, it fits into a protective shell called a capsule, which helps to hold the device in place. However, complications such as capsular contracture (the hardening of scar tissue around the implants), BII, and rupture may require the surgeon to remove the capsule along with the implants. A [capsulectomy](https://www.webmd.com/beauty/what-is-capsulectomy) may also be required due to infection or cancer. #### Partial capsulectomy Partial Capsulectomy involves removing part of the breast implant capsule while leaving some behind. This procedure is typically performed to address complications such as capsular contracture or implant malposition. By carefully excising the affected tissue, surgeons aim to improve implant positioning and restore natural contours while minimizing the risk of recurrent issues. #### Total capsulectomy Total Capsulectomy, or Total Precise Capsulectomy, entails the complete removal of the breast implant capsule, though not always in one piece. This meticulous procedure is performed to address complications like capsular contracture or implant rupture. By thoroughly eliminating the capsule, surgeons aim to optimize outcomes and reduce the risk of recurrent issues, promoting better long-term results for patients. #### En bloc capsulectomy En bloc capsulectomy involves removing the breast implant capsule along with a margin of unaffected tissue, particularly for suspected or confirmed breast implant-associated cancers after thorough medical evaluation. This procedure is solely indicated for such cases and requires informed consent, with shared decision-making between patient and surgeon. A formal discussion covering risk assessment, benefits, alternatives, and expected outcomes is essential to ensure comprehensive understanding and optimal management of the condition. ### Am I a Candidate for Breast Implant Removal? Most women will qualify for our breast implant removal in Denver, provided they are in good mental and physical health and they have realistic expectations. Our team will evaluate your concerns and help you decide on the best treatment plan for your goals. In general, ideal candidates: - Are experiencing complications after breast augmentation surgery - Are unhappy with the current look and feel of their implants - Seek a more natural-looking chest aesthetic - Have textured implants and are experiencing signs of BIA-ALCL ### Where Will My Breast Implant Removal Surgery Be Performed? Our facility at The LaVie Institute of Plastic Surgery houses a cutting-edge 8-room clinic equipped with advanced, world-class technology and an elegant decor. We have two onsite accredited operating theaters to ensure your safety and convenience, as well as a hospital-based clinic affiliated with the prestigious [Swedish Medical Center](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/about/our-facilities/swedish-medical-center/) for hand and reconstructive surgeries.  Our state-of-the-art facility coupled with the expertise of our skilled, board-certified plastic surgeons translates to optimized, successful results and an exceptional patient experience. ### What Will My Recovery Be Like? After surgery, you will be placed in our recovery suites and monitored to ensure it is safe for you to go home. You should schedule a helper to drive you home and assist you for 24 hours prior to your procedure date. You will leave our offices with prescription pain medications and a thorough aftercare plan with postoperative instructions.  It is normal to feel sore or tired following your surgery. These are signs that the body is healing. Most patients can expect to return to normal activities within several days but will need to avoid intense exercise for 2-3 weeks. It is important to follow your surgeon’s instructions carefully in order to minimize pressure placed on the incisions. Temporary numbness or fluid drainage in the breasts are normal side effects and will fade with time. Sutures are typically removed after 7-10 days. While the initial swelling will fade within several weeks, residual swelling may take more time to disappear — up to several months. Scars will appear pink and firm for around 6 weeks before they fade. ### What Can I Expect During My Consultation? Your consultation is a time to get to know our team and create a winning treatment plan that will safeguard your health, enhance your comfort, and elevate your quality of life. During this initial meeting, we will go over your medical history and perform a physical evaluation.

Contact The LaVie Institute in Denver for a consultation. ## Breast Lift in Denver, CO A breast lift (mastopexy) is performed to address skin ptosis (sagging) that may occur in the chest after aging, pregnancy, or significant weight loss. Our breast lift in Denver, Parker, Lone Tree, and Centennial can elevate the breasts to a more youthful position on the chest wall while relocating the nipples for improved balance and symmetry. ### Breast Lift Overview ### Comprehensive Breast Lift Surgery in Denver Our breast lift can be performed on its own or in combination with a [breast augmentation](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/breast/breast-augmentation/), [breast reduction](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/breast/breast-reduction/), [breast reconstruction](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/breast/breast-reconstruction/), or [fat transfer procedure](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/breast/fat-transfer-breast-augmentation/). While other treatments address breast volume and shape, mastopexy is concerned with correcting sagging breasts and low-hanging nipples. After surgery, women experience a more positive self-image and enjoy a wider range of clothing options.  ### What Sets The LaVie Institute of Plastic Surgery Apart? The LaVie Institute is committed to a patient-centric approach that delivers elegant, personalized results in a world-class, accredited setting. Our team consists of four board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeons who go above and beyond to help clients achieve their unique aesthetic goals. We empower patients with the knowledge, understanding, and education they need to make the best decisions for their lives and experience the peace of mind that comes with enhanced self-confidence. ### What is a Breast Lift? Our breast lift in Denver, Parker, Lone Tree, and Centennial is performed to combat breast ptosis and elevate the nipples to a more youthful-looking location. When the breasts sag below the inframammary fold — typically caused by the aging process, pregnancy, nursing, oversized implants, or weight fluctuations — it can compromise the chest’s appearance, making it difficult for women to experience a natural fit in tops, swimwear, and lingerie.  #### Warning: This gallery contains nudity.

A breast lift provides natural-looking enhancement and renewed confidence with several key benefits: - Restores a perkier, more attractive silhouette - Removes excess sagging skin  - Firms the surrounding breast tissue - Repositions the nipples and areolas - Creates a more proportionate, balanced, and symmetrical breast appearance - Allows for a better fit in tops, swimwear, bras, and dresses - Improves self-confidence #### Is a Breast Lift Right for Me? You may be a good candidate for a breast lift if the following apply to you: - You are bothered by low-hanging or downward-pointing nipples - Your breasts sag below the inframammary fold - Your breasts appear elongated or stretched - Your breasts appear asymmetrical - You are in good mental and physical health - You are a non-smoker, or are willing to quit before and after surgery - You have realistic expectations for your results ### Incision Options There are three common choices for incision placement with a breast lift. Your surgeon will select the best approach based on your degree of breast ptosis, scarring considerations, and your individual aesthetic goals. During your private consultation, our team will create a clearly mapped out treatment plan so you know exactly what to expect from your results. #### The Anchor Lift Here, the incision is created encircling the areola, stretching down to the breast crease, and then extending horizontally along the inframammary fold, resembling an upside-down “T” or anchor. This technique is well-suited for patients with significant breast ptosis and is often used in combination with a breast reduction procedure. #### The Lollipop Lift The incision for a lollipop lift encircles the nipple and then extends vertically down to the breast crease, resembling a child’s favorite sweet. There is less scarring than with a conventional anchor incision approach but a lollipop lift is better suited for patients with a moderate rather than significant amount of breast ptosis. #### The Circumareolar Lift  The circumareolar breast lift involves an incision created in a circular pattern around the areola. This approach is ideal for patients with only minor breast sagging who have maintained good skin elasticity and who seek reshaping of the areolas. Scarring is well-hidden within the darker pigmentation of the central breast region. ### How is a Breast Lift Performed? Mastopexy typically takes 2-4 hours to complete and is performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation in our accredited onsite surgical theater. During surgery, your doctor will remove redundant skin folds to create a more youthful, perky breast appearance, choosing one of three incision patterns (anchor, lollipop, or circumareolar) based on your degree of breast sagging.  If the areolas are enlarged, excess skin at the perimeter can be excised. The nipples can also be relocated to a more flattering position at this time. Finally, the incisions are closed with fine sutures and the patient is placed in the recovery suite for careful monitoring until they can return home. #### Dr. Daniali is one of the best doctors I have ever seen, and I have seen many doctors in my 68 years. She is a very talented doctor, with double board certifications, which is a rare thing. As a surgeon, I found her careful, meticulous, and very methodical.  As a person, she is very caring, compassionate, a great listener, and genuinely wants the best for her patients. I highly recommend Dr. Daniali." Mowafak Al-Jassim ### What Will My Recovery Entail? Patients can go home the same day as their breast lift in Denver, as long as they are accompanied by a helper, friend, or family member who will assist them for the first 24-48 hours. Upon discharge, you will receive detailed aftercare instructions, a compression garment to help reduce swelling in the chest, and prescription pain medications to ensure your continued comfort. Our staff will be available and accessible during your recovery to answer any questions and address any concerns that may arise. Most patients experience soreness and fatigue after surgery but can usually resume activities within the first week. Any type of strenuous exercise, lifting, or exertion should be avoided for 3-6 weeks or as recommended by the surgeon. Clients should wear a support bra without an underwire for this amount of time as well. Scars will appear pink and firm for the first six weeks but will gradually fade over time. We will continue to monitor your healing and ensure a stress-free recovery. ### Our State-of-the-Art Facility Our world-class facility at The LaVie Institute of Plastic Surgery houses an 8-room clinic equipped with advanced, cutting-edge technology and equipment as well as two onsite accredited operating theaters for your ultimate safety, convenience, and comfort.  Additionally, we perform hand and reconstructive surgeries at our hospital-based clinic, affiliated with the trusted Swedish Medical Center as well as other prestigious outpatient surgery centers.

Are there any risks involved with a breast lift? What is the best age for a breast lift? ### How long does a breast lift last? The longevity of a breast lift varies depending on factors like skin quality, weight stability, age, and surgical technique. Many patients enjoy results for about 10–15 years, but ongoing aging and changes in body weight may affect the lifted shape over time. ### Are there any risks involved with a breast lift? Yes—while a breast lift is considered relatively safe, it still carries potential risks such as bleeding, infection, changes in nipple sensation, visible scarring, and asymmetry. A qualified plastic surgeon will review all risks and help determine if the benefits outweigh them for your situation. ### What is the best age for a breast lift? There’s no one “best age” for a breast lift. Instead, timing depends on individual factors like breast sagging, overall health, if pregnancies are complete, and weight stability. Many surgeons suggest waiting until after childbearing when appropriate, though surgery is done across various age groups with individualized planning. --- ## Reconstructive Breast Surgery Denver URL: https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/breast/breast-reconstruction/ Description: The goal of breast reconstruction is to restore a balanced, natural-looking breast shape, symmetry, and size after mastectomy, lumpectomy, or trauma. Schedule a consultation with The LaVie Institute in Denver. ## Breast Reconstruction in Denver, CO Breast reconstruction can provide enhanced self-confidence, renewed comfort, and the reclaiming of the body after cancer or trauma, elevating quality of life. ### Confident Femininity Restoration Dr. Daniali performs this emotionally rewarding procedure to help patients to reclaim their wellbeing and feminity. She offers support, education, and empowerment as women embark on a new stage in their lives. Her goal is that each woman emerges from the reconstruction process feeling beautiful, whole, and confident. ### What is Breast Reconstruction? The goal of our breast reconstruction in Denver is to restore a balanced, natural-looking breast shape, symmetry, and size after mastectomy, lumpectomy, or trauma. Reconstruction can begin immediately, or it can be staged down the line at a later date. The process typically involves multiple treatments that are uniquely tailored to the individual.  Our goal at The LaVie Institute of Plastic Surgery is to ensure each client is fully educated and informed regarding their reconstruction options and that they understand the benefits and drawbacks of each procedure type. We provide an in-depth consultation at no charge to further the goal of empowering women to live their best lives after breast cancer or trauma to the chest. #### Such an amazing experience from the start. Dr. Daniali had done my mom's breast reconstructive surgery and did such an amazing job that I knew there was nobody else that I wanted to do my reconstruction when I needed it done. She takes pride in her work and her attention to detail surpasses any other. She helped settle my nerves before surgery and has a very calming demeanor. The follow-up care has also been exceptional. I am not left wondering what steps I ever need to do because she is right there by your side from start to finish. DeeAnna Starr ### The Timeline for Reconstruction #### Step One The patient undergoes a biopsy and MRI and receives a diagnosis, OR the patient undergoes a genetic blood test (BRCA) and receives a positive test outcome. #### Step Two Discussion of mastectomy, lumpectomy, and reconstructive options with the breast surgeon and plastic surgeon. #### Step Three Mastectomy is performed, followed by breast reconstruction options, immediate or delayed. #### Step Four Implants are used for reconstruction, OR the patient undergoes autologous flap reconstruction using their own tissue. #### Step Five Secondary procedures are performed, such as nipple reconstruction and areola tattooing.  ### Our Facility The LaVie Institute of Plastic Surgery provides access to a state-of-the-art facility that boasts the latest in advanced, cutting-edge technology and equipment. In addition to our expansive 8-room clinic and dual onsite accredited operating theaters, we have an additional hospital-based clinic for reconstruction and hand surgery, affiliated with the Swedish Medical Center and other outpatient surgery centers. ### Types of Mastectomy The type of mastectomy undergone by the patient will influence the techniques and approach chosen for reconstruction. The mastectomy needs to be carefully tailored with the patient’s reconstruction goals in mind. You will need to discuss the different options with your breast surgeon and plastic surgeon to find the ideal solution for your individual case. Mastectomies can be… - Traditional - Skin-sparing - Nipple-sparing - Paired with a breast lift or breast reduction ### Who Makes an Ideal Candidate? Ideal candidates for our reconstructive breast surgery in Denver have carefully reviewed their options and are choosing their procedures for themselves and not to please others or maintain their public image. During your private consultation, we will review your medical history and goals and complete exhausting testing and physical evaluations to ensure the procedure will be safe and effective in your individual case. ### Lumpectomy and Reconstruction Patients who undergo radiation therapy may suffer breast deformities after swelling has subsided. Indentations, asymmetry, tightness, and changes in skin pigmentation may all occur after lumpectomy. Our skilled plastic surgeons at The LaVie Institute of Plastic Surgery can correct abnormalities using state-of-the-art reconstruction techniques. Clients can consult with us prior to their lumpectomies to discuss their reconstruction options and create a plan for success. ### Breast Reconstruction Decisions An initial decision for the patient involves the timing of their reconstruction. Our breast reconstruction after mastectomy in Denver can be performed immediately after your mastectomy, or it can be delayed. Some women will prefer to undergo reconstruction immediately for psychological reasons, while others may not be ready to undergo additional surgeries right after their breast cancer removal. The second decision relates to the reconstruction techniques used. Women can opt for implant reconstruction or flap reconstruction using tissue from their own bodies. Factors such as the type of cancer treatments undergone, the type of mastectomy, and the patient's body type and personal goals are all considered. ### Schedule a Consultation [Contact Us](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/contact/) ### Immediate Vs. Delayed Reconstruction Information from your biopsy and your own unique risk factors are utilized to decide on the best timing for your reconstruction. This decision should be made with your plastic surgeon prior to your mastectomy. #### Immediate reconstruction Here, reconstruction begins immediately after mastectomy. Because this can provide psychological and aesthetic advantages to the patient, this is the standard approach for most clients. The drawback is the longer surgical and recovery times required. #### Delayed reconstruction If radiation is required as part of the treatment process or if the patient is dealing with advanced signs of disease, it may be prudent to postpone reconstruction to a later date. Some women may also feel that they need more time to consider their reconstruction options. ### Options for Breast Implants #### Saline These devices have a silicone shell that is inserted and then filled with sterilized salt water through a valve. The volume, shape, and firmness of the implant can be highly customized, reducing asymmetry in the chest. #### Silicone These implants have a highly authentic look and feel and are inserted into the capsule pre-filled. Because rupture is indetectable, women will need to undergo regular MRI testing. Silicone devices come in many different shapes, sizes, and textures for optimal customization. #### Gummy These implants are made of highly cohesive silicone gel, often referred to as "gummy" due to their thick, form-stable consistency. They maintain their shape even if the outer shell is compromised, offering added peace of mind. Gummy implants are available in a range of shapes, sizes, and projections, allowing for personalized results with a natural feel and reduced risk of rippling or leakage. ### The Goldilocks Technique The Goldilocks technique utilizes autologous tissue surrounding the breast after mastectomy to create a lifted and feminine chest appearance without the need for a tissue expander or implants. This approach can be viable and successful for women who are poor candidates for other types of breast reconstruction or for those who do not wish to undergo complicated procedures that are not a match for their lifestyles. A Goldilocks mastectomy is similar to a conventional mastectomy, during which glandular tissue is removed with healthy skin and fat left behind. Instead of discarding excess skin, it can be used to recreate a realistic breast mound. Unlike with flap reconstruction, only one surgery session is required and there is only one surgical site that needs to heal.  ### Implant Reconstruction with a Tissue Expander A tissue expander can be used to create a breast capsule for housing saline or silicone implants. When the expander is placed, the surgeon may also utilize an acellular dermal matrix to create a solid scaffolding in the chest to help support the implants and ensure long-term stability. Once the expander has completed its work, it is exchanged for breast implants placed during an outpatient procedure. ### Flap Reconstruction Our flap breast reconstruction in Denver uses the patient’s own autologous tissue to create authentic-looking breast mounds and a balanced, symmetrical chest appearance. Tissue is taken from another region of the body, such as the stomach, back, thighs, or buttocks. This approach is often preferred over implant reconstruction due to the natural appearance and feel of the final results. The reconstructed breasts will enlarge or shrink as you gain or lose weight, just like real breasts. While flap reconstruction is an excellent option for many, there are some special considerations to be aware of: - Flap reconstruction requires more surgical time and a longer recovery period than implant reconstruction - Flap procedures leave two sets of scars - Some women may experience concerns at the donor sites, such as muscle weakness or contour distortions ### Types of Flap Procedures #### Pedicle flaps A pedicle flap remains attached to its blood supply as the tissue is moved to the chest to create a new breast mound. The latissimus dorsi (LD) flap is a good example of this. Tissue, skin, fat, and muscle are taken from the back and repurposed.  #### Free flaps A free flap utilizes tissues, skin, and fat — and infrequently muscle — to create a new breast mound. Microsurgery techniques are required to reconnect the arteries and veins to the chest wall so that the flap will survive in its new location. The most common donor site for free flaps is the stomach. #### Abdominal flaps Abdominal flaps use tissue procured from the belly. Examples include the DIEP, SIEA, and TRAM flaps. Many times, this area of the body has enough fat to create realistic-looking breast mounds without the need for implants. For thin patients or those who have previously undergone abdominoplasty, flap surgery may not be possible. #### Back flaps  Back flaps include the latissimus dorsi flap, a pedicle flap, the TDAP flap, and the LAP free flap. Because the back tends to offer less fat and tissue than the abdomen, back flaps may be combined with implant surgery to optimize results. Although some back flaps utilize muscle, women rarely experience soreness or weakness in the back after the procedure. #### Buttock flaps  Flaps created from gluteal tissue include the GAP flap, the SGAP flap, and the IGAP flap. These are typically options for clients who lack sufficient donor material in other areas. They may also be chosen for patients who have previously undergone abdominal surgery. For most patients, no muscle is removed, and no skin dimpling will occur. #### Thigh flaps When other sources of donor material are not viable options, the surgeon may choose to create a flap using tissue obtained from the inner or outer thighs (TUG, VUP, DUG, PAP, and LTP flap options). All thigh flaps require the expertise of a microsurgeon to reconnect the blood vessels in the chest. Thigh tissue is typically only able to provide small or medium-sized breast mounds. ### Your Detailed Consultation Your consultation is a time to ask questions, voice your concerns, and become more familiar with our philosophy and approach. We will: - Evaluate your health and risk factors - Examine your breasts - Take medical photographs - Create a personalized treatment plan - Discuss your projected outcome - Inform you of risks and benefits - Go over the recovery timeline - Delve into insurance and financing ### Secondary Procedures Breast reconstruction is a staged set of procedures, meaning patients will typically require multiple sessions to achieve their contouring goals, even in cases where immediate reconstruction is viable. #### Surgery on the Opposite Breast Your surgeon can adjust the opposite breast so that it appears congruent with the reconstructed breast. This can be achieved through breast reduction, breast lift, or breast augmentation techniques, depending on your needs. #### Nipple Areola Reconstruction The final stage of breast reconstruction involves contouring the nipple area to create an authentic and pleasing nipple mound. Our nipple reconstruction in Denver is typically performed 3-4 months after breast reconstruction to ensure the chest has had ample time to heal. #### Nipple Areola Tattooing An areola tattoo can provide the finishing touches to a well-executed breast reconstruction procedure. This treatment takes fewer than 30 minutes to perform and can offer the patient a sense of closure and completion.  ### Nipple Resensation Restoring sensation in the nipples after breast reconstruction involves neurotization (nerve repair) using allograft nerve tissue. By reconnecting the nerves in the chest and the reconstructed nipples, patients can once again enjoy pleasure in their most sensitive regions, allowing them to feel more like their old selves. ### Reconstruction for Tuberous Breasts Tuberous breasts occur during early stages of development and can impact a patient’s self-image. Breast irregularities including constriction, herniated areolas, and asymmetry can significantly impact the aesthetics of the chest and the overall balance of the patient’s contours. Our surgeons perform tuberous breast reconstruction in Denver, addressing the fold position, skin envelope, base constriction, breast volume, areolar herniation, and breast ptosis to achieve a pleasing outcome and a more beautiful, harmonized silhouette. Treatment is nuanced and individualized to provide the client with renewed self-confidence and a more expansive choice of bras, tops, swimwear, and dresses. We will discuss your options for tuberous breast repair in depth during your private consultation. ### Lymphedema Surgery Dr. Daniali is the medical director and founder of the Center for Lymphatic Restoration at the Swedish Medical Senter. In 2000, it became one of the first recognized programs for lymphatic surgery excellence through LE&RN. Lymphedema is an ailment that manifests as fluid buildup and swelling, which can significantly inhibit mobility, comfort, and quality of life for patients. While in the past the only options for treatment were non-surgical, today there are cutting-edge surgical procedures to reverse lymphedema.  
Dr. Daniali can perform a range of procedures to combat the condition, including the following: - Lymphaticovenous Anastomosis: This procedure creates alternative routes to flush out excess fluids from the limbs. - Free Lymph Node Transfer: Here, harvested lymph nodes are transferred to a region of deficiency, enhancing drainage in the targeted limb. - Lymphedema Liposuction: This minimally invasive option can be combined with other forms of surgery and will remove excess fat and tissue. - Lymphedema Mass Excision: If a large lymphedema-related mass is present, it can be surgically excised to improve mobility and function. - Breast Reconstruction and Lymphedema Surgery: Lymphedema procedures can be combined with breast reconstruction to maximize outcomes. ### Why Choose The LaVie Institute?

Breast reduction involves the removal of excess skin, fat, and tissue from the breasts to reshape the chest and deliver a slimmer, more sculpted figure.

The first is a [periareolar](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8376345/) incision encircling the nipple. The second is a lollipop incision that encircles the nipple and runs vertically down to the breast crease. The final incision type is an anchor incision that encircles the nipple, runs vertically down to the breast crease, and then horizontally along the inframammary fold. The surgeon will select the best incision type based on scarring considerations and how much excess tissue needs to be removed. ### What Can I Expect From My Breast Reduction Procedure? Our breast reduction in Denver, Parker, Lone Tree, and Centennial is performed under general anesthesia and takes 2-4 hours. If additional procedures such as a [Mommy Makeover](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/mommy-makeover/) are undergone at the same time, surgery duration may be extended. After your incisions are created, your surgeon will excise redundant skin and tissue, reshaping the breasts for a more balanced, subtle appearance. The nipples will be relocated to a more youthful, aesthetically pleasing position, and [liposuction](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/liposuction/) may be utilized to trim unwanted fat, further sculpting the chest.  Once the surgeon ensures the breasts are symmetrical and well-contoured, they will close the incisions and wrap the breasts in compression stockings to reduce swelling. ### Our Facility The LaVie Institute of Plastic Surgery is home to a state-of-the-art 8-room clinic with two additional accredited operating theaters onsite.

You will be instructed on how to empty the drains on your own. #### First Postoperative Visits You will see the team again within a few days to remove the drains and replace your dressings.

[Breast augmentation](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/breast/breast-augmentation/) and [breast reconstruction](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/breast/breast-reconstruction/) are among the most sought-after plastic surgery procedures, as they can revitalize the figure, expand clothing choices, and boost self-image. With millions of women undergoing breast procedures each year, it is not surprising that some will seek out revisions to address areas of dissatisfaction.  In some cases, the natural aging process may have compromised the implant appearance, necessitating a revision procedure. Other times, women are struggling with implant complications such as capsular contracture or rippling and need these concerns addressed. Finally, women may change their minds at some points about their implant size, type, or placement.  Breast revision can: - Enhance the results of the initial breast augmentation - Change the implant size, type, or position - Correct complications and asymmetry - Replace ruptured or leaking implants ### Reasons for Breast Revision - Dissatisfaction with the initial augmentation surgery The patient may be unhappy with the size, shape, or projection of her breasts and is seeking a final result that is more closely aligned with her original goals. - Rupture, leakage, or asymmetry Patients may seek breast revision if a saline implant appears deflated or if an MRI has indicated leakage in a silicone device. Asymmetry is also a common reason for revisions. - Capsular contracture This complication occurs when the scar tissue surrounding the implant hardens, compromising the implant’s appearance and causing discomfort for the patient. A capsulectomy, along with implant removal, may be needed. - Implant malposition When the implants are too far apart, too close to each other, too high, or too low on the chest wall, a revision procedure may be an ideal solution. - Unhappy with implant size Aging, pregnancy, and weight fluctuations can affect the breast’s volume. Over time, a woman may desire a change in implant size. - Implant rippling As the breast tissue thins with age, rippling can occur. This concern can be addressed by repositioning the implant beneath the pec muscle and choosing a different implant type. - A change in aesthetic taste Some women experience a change in their aesthetic sensibilities over time. They may wish to opt for a more natural look with a fat transfer breast augmentation instead of implants. - Implant removal In certain cases, a woman may require the complete removal of her implants, as is common after BII (Breast Implant Illness) or BIA-ALCL (Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma). ### Who is a Good Candidate for Breast Revision? Any patient who is unhappy with the results from a previous breast augmentation or reconstruction may be an excellent candidate for our breast revision in Denver, depending on certain factors assessed during a private consultation with our team. Ideal candidates are physically and mentally healthy individuals who do not smoke and who are realistic in their expectations. ### The Breast Revision Procedure [Breast revision](https://www.plasticsurgery.org/cosmetic-procedures/breast-implant-revision) is performed under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis and lasts 1-3 hours. For most patients, the surgeon can gain access to the chest through the same incisions used during breast augmentation. The old implant is removed along with any hardened scar tissue in the area. If a woman desires larger implants, the surgeon will need to enlarge the breast capsule. If smaller implants are required, the capsule may need to be reduced using sutures. If the implant placement is changed, a new pocket may need to be created underneath the pec muscles, which will help reduce the risk of rippling and implant visibility.  Your surgeon may employ an acellular dermal matrix to maximize support to the chest scaffolding. If breast ptosis is a concern, a breast lift can be performed in tandem with revision surgery. Fat transfer can also be used to reduce implant visibility or to create a modest, natural-looking augmentation in patients who wish to have their implants completely removed. ### Breast Revision Recovery After your breast revision in Denver, you will awaken with your breast wrapped in dressings and small drains, which will help escort excess fluids out of the body. Once you are cleared, you will be escorted home with a responsible helper, friend, or family member who should assist you for the first 24-48 hours after surgery. You will leave with prescriptions for pain medications and a detailed, personalized aftercare plan. Most patients will experience mild soreness, swelling, and discomfort for several days after their procedure. Ice packs can be placed on the breasts to help alleviate these concerns. You will return to the office within the week, at which time the drains and sutures will be removed. If dissolvable sutures were used, they will be absorbed on their own over time. In the days after surgery, gentle walks are encouraged, as they can improve circulation, prevent clotting, and elevate your mood. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be postponed for 2-3 weeks, or as recommended by your doctor. Swelling may persist for 1-3 months but will fade gradually. Scarring will fade over the course of 12 months. ### Why Choose The LaVie Institute for Breast Implant Revision?

Schedule a consultation with The LaVie Institute in Denver, today! ## Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation in Denver, CO For women seeking subtle, natural-looking breast enhancement, a fat transfer breast augmentation procedure can provide an elegant transformation and increased self-confidence. ### Natural Breast Enhancement Our fat transfer breast augmentation in Denver affords women the opportunity to add supple volume to the chest without introducing foreign materials into the body. Clients need not worry about replacing their implants down the line, and they can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with minimized risks and fewer complications. ### What is a Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation? Small breasts can occur due to genetics, aging, pregnancy, or weight loss. For those patients seeking a natural alternative to [augmentation with implants](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/breast/breast-augmentation/), a fat transfer procedure can yield personalized results and improved breast symmetry. The procedure is often performed as part of a [breast reconstruction](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/breast/breast-reconstruction/) treatment plan for those who have undergone mastectomy or lumpectomy. During your fat transfer breast augmentation in Denver, your surgeon will use liposuction to remove fat from areas of excess, such as the abdomen, flanks, back, or thighs. Once the fat has been sterilized and purified, it will be injected into the chest strategically to create a natural-looking enhancement in the breast mounds. Clients enjoy the dual body sculpting benefits that come with the procedure. #### What Are the Benefits? - A subtle volume increase of up to one cup size - Natural-looking contour changes - Enhanced self-confidence - A wider range of wardrobe options - Minimal risk of complications or side effects - Can be combined with implant augmentation #### Who is an Ideal Candidate? - Seeking a modest breast enhancement - Has ample donor fat available for transfer - Is mentally and physically healthy - Has realistic expectations for their results - Is a non-smoker or is willing to quit temporarily - Is willing to follow the surgeon’s instructions ### FAQ Am I too thin to undergo the procedure? Can I undergo a breast lift in combination with a fat transfer augmentation? Can a fat transfer procedure address sagging skin? ### Am I too thin to undergo the procedure? Patients will need to have a BMI (body mass index) of at least 20. Fat can be taken from a variety of areas, so most clients will qualify. The best way to determine your candidacy is to undergo a private consultation with our knowledgeable team. ### Can I undergo a breast lift in combination with a fat transfer augmentation? Yes. Many patients combine mastopexy with fat transfer to achieve comprehensive body sculpting results in the chest. Breast lift surgery is performed first to remove excess skin and raise the breast contours. Then fat transfer is used to enhance the breast mounds with a natural-looking outcome. ### Can a fat transfer procedure address sagging skin? No. The treatment can only address a deficit in breast volume. Excess skin will need to be removed surgically. ### How is the Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Performed? Our fat transfer breast augmentation in Denver is performed under general anesthesia and takes 1-3 hours to perform. Liposuction of the donor regions is completed as a first step. The harvested fat is collected in sterile containers and is purified prior to transfer. A small syringe filled with the fat substance is injected into the breasts via tiny incisions of less than 1 cm. Finally, the incisions are sealed with fine sutures, and the patient is placed in the recovery suite for observation. ### What Will Recovery Entail? Patients wake up from surgery without compression garments in order to avoid constricting the transferred fat. The donor regions will be dressed in compression bandages, however. After careful monitoring, the client will return home the same day. During the first six weeks, clients should avoid wearing tight bras and form-fitting tops. Avoid sleeping on the stomach for six weeks as well. Patients can expect to return to work within the first week. Final procedure results are typically visible within 3-6 months. ### Our State-of-the-Art Facility The LaVie Institute houses a cutting-edge 8-room clinic along with two accredited operating theaters onsite.

Our skilled board-certified plastic surgeons can streamline and sculpt the chest for a more masculine, chiseled aesthetic. ### Gynecomastia Overview ### Revitalized Chest Confidence For men struggling with gynecomastia, many enjoyable activities such as going to the beach or participating in sports may be curtailed by body image concerns. Our treatment for gynecomastia in Denver removes excess breast tissue and fat, revitalizing the chest appearance, expanding wardrobe options, and enhancing self-confidence and emotional security. ### What is Gynecomastia Treatment? Gynecomastia is a common medical concern among men in which glandular tissue becomes enlarged, resulting in feminine-looking chest contours. The condition can occur in men of all ages and is most often due to hormonal imbalance, medications, or the use of certain drugs. Undergoing male breast reduction in Denver is a leading solution for restoring a flat, sculpted chest and our experienced, board-certified plastic surgeons deliver game changing results that strategically transform the upper body. The procedure involves the excision of excess tissue and the removal of fat using [liposuction](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/liposuction/). ### What Causes Gynecomastia? Gynecomastia may have different causes in different clients. Commonly, it is due to hormonal imbalances between estrogen and androgen. Low testosterone (hypogonadism) may also contribute to the formation of enlarged breast tissue.  Note that overweight or obese patients may suffer from pseudogynecomastia rather than true glandular tissue enlargement. The following conditions may lead to gynecomastia: - Alcoholism or drug abuse - Steroid use - Adrenal tumors - Kidney disease - Liver disease - [Thyroid disease](https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/8541-thyroid-disease) - Klinefelter syndrome (genetic) - Bacterial or fungal infections - Enlarged prostate gland - Certain medications  #### Had a great experience with Ryan and his team. They made the whole process smooth and uplifting. Cannot thank them enough! Zac ### Patient Testimonial - Gynecomastia #### Benefits of Gynecomastia Treatment Gynecomastia treatment offers both aesthetic and psychological benefits that help men feel more confident in their appearance: - Restores a sculpted, masculine-looking chest - Trims excessive breast tissue, skin, and fat in the upper body - Allows men to enjoy going shirtless  - Increases social comfort and self-confidence - Provides a more youthful-looking, athletic physique #### Am I a Candidate for the Procedure? For men who have found it impossible to contour their chests through dieting and exercise and who have received a diagnosis of true gynecomastia, undergoing male breast reduction in Denver may be an ideal solution. The best candidates are physically and mentally healthy non-smokers who are at or close to their goal weights and who are realistic in their expectations for their results. ### How Much Does Treatment for Gynecomastia Cost in Denver? The cost of gynecomastia treatment varies depending on factors such as the extent of excess breast tissue, the techniques used (liposuction, excision, or combination). Additional considerations include anesthesia, facility fees, and post-operative care, which are included in your personalized estimate. During your consultation at La Vie Plastic Surgery, you’ll receive a detailed breakdown of costs tailored to your specific goals and anatomy. Financing options are available to help make your transformation more manageable. ### How is my Gynecomastia Treatment Personalized? Your surgery to treat gynecomastia in Denver is tailored to your unique concerns and body type. The procedure takes 1-2 hours and is performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. You will need to arrange transportation home from the clinic.  #### Excision To combat loose skin and excess tissue, your surgeon will make incisions around the areola, where scarring will later be well-concealed. Once the redundant skin and tissue are removed, the area is sutured and the patient is placed in the recovery suite. #### Liposuction Liposuction can be used in tandem with excision to combat excess stubborn fat in the chest and reveal more chiseled contours. Some men, especially those dealing with pseudogynecomastia may achieve their best results using liposuction alone, provided they have minimal skin laxity. ### Recovery After surgery, patients receive compression garments to help minimize swelling and keep the newly sculpted chest contours intact. Prescription pain medications will be provided along with a detailed and personalized aftercare plan. Sutures are removed at one week post-op. Drains may be placed for 2-3 days to help escort any excess fluids and blood out of the body. Most patients can resume work within the first week and exercise within 2-4 weeks. ### Our World-Class Facility The LaVie Institute of Plastic Surgery houses 8 state-of-the-art clinic suites equipped with cutting-edge technology and a soothing, restorative decor.

Can my gynecomastia treatment be combined with other procedures? Is gynecomastia the same as fat accumulation in the chest area? Can gynecomastia go away on its own? Can gynecomastia recur after treatment? Will there be visible scars after gynecomastia surgery? ### What will my consultation entail? During your initial meeting with our team, we will examine you physically, review your medical history, and create a treatment plan that is unique to your concerns. The underlying causes of your chest tissue enlargement will be diagnosed and we will discuss your surgical options in depth, going over the risks, benefits, and recovery. ### Can my gynecomastia treatment be combined with other procedures? Many male patients take the opportunity to undergo additional cosmetic enhancements that revitalize their look from head to toe. They may pursue facial sculpting, liposuction or tummy tuck to sculpt the midsection, or pectoral augmentation with chest implants. During your consultation, our team can develop a customized treatment plan to address all of your aesthetic goals. ### Is gynecomastia the same as fat accumulation in the chest area? No, gynecomastia is the enlargement of glandular breast tissue, while fat accumulation (often called pseudogynecomastia) is an increase in fatty tissue in the chest area, typically related to weight gain. ### Can gynecomastia go away on its own? In some cases, particularly during puberty, gynecomastia may resolve on its own as hormone levels stabilize. However, in other cases, it may persist and require treatment. ### Can gynecomastia recur after treatment? Recurrence is possible, especially if the underlying cause is not addressed, such as continued use of certain medications, steroids, or significant weight gain. ### Will there be visible scars after gynecomastia surgery? Surgical scars are typically minimal and strategically placed to be as inconspicuous as possible. Over time, scars tend to fade and become less noticeable. --- ## Nipple Procedures Denver URL: https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/breast/nipple-procedures/ Description: Nipple procedures are the last step after breast reconstruction and signify a sense of closure and completion for the patient. Schedule a consultation with The LaVie Institute in Denver. ## Nipple Procedures in Denver, CO Nipple procedures are the last step after [breast reconstruction](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/breast/breast-reconstruction/) and signify a sense of closure and completion for the patient. Areola tattoos, resensation, and nipple reconstruction can all help to provide enhanced peace of mind and a positive self-image. ### Natural Nipple Reconstruction At The LaVie Institute, we perform surgery to correct the appearance of the nipple — its shape, size, location, and coloring — in order to enhance the results of breast reconstruction and provide the patient with a natural-looking, elegant final outcome. Each treatment plan is carefully crafted to reflect the patient’s unique wishes for transformation and help achieve a renewed sense of confidence and security. ### Why Choose The LaVie Institute? At The LaVie Institute, we prioritize your personal enhancement journey, dedicating ourselves to providing outstanding, patient-focused care that aligns with your aesthetic goals and lifestyle needs. With us, you can expect a smooth recovery process complemented by unmatched service throughout the region. Our surgical team is composed of elite professionals graduated from prestigious universities such as Stanford, Harvard-MIT, and Johns Hopkins, ensuring top-tier expertise in every procedure. Our surgeons hold memberships in esteemed organizations such as: - American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (AAHS) - American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) - American Society for Surgery of the Hand (ASSH) - American Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery (ASRM) - Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS) Choose The LaVie Institute for a transformative experience where advanced surgical skills and personalized, compassionate care converge to enhance your life. ### What Are Nipple Procedures? Nipple procedures include nipple resensation after a nipple-sparing mastectomy and nipple reconstruction, including nipple tattooing. These final steps in the breast reconstruction process can help clients to experience a renewed sense of normalcy in their lives and a feeling of confidence that they can wear any outfit they desire.  ### Nipple Reconstruction Options #### Pre-mastectomy Some patients can opt for a nipple-sparing mastectomy that leaves the nipple intact after removal of the breast tissue. If this path is chosen, nipple reconstruction will be unnecessary. When combined with innovative breast reconstruction techniques, your outcome will appear highly natural and seamless. #### Post-mastectomy If the nipple is removed during mastectomy, our team can perform nipple reconstruction to provide a realistic-looking final outcome. Women can choose to undergo 3D nipple tattooing by itself or in combination with nipple reconstruction. ### Our State-of-the-Art Facility The LaVie Institute is home to a patient-centric decor designed with your comfort, relaxation, and wellbeing in mind. We offer a world-class 8-room clinic along with two accredited onsite operating theaters that provide best-in-class technology to optimize your results. Additionally, we perform hand and reconstructive procedures at our top-tier hospital-based clinic, affiliated with the prestigious Swedish Medical Center as well as other leading outpatient surgery centers. Our goal is to foster an atmosphere of respect and safety, where each client is treated like a unique individual on a transformative life journey. ### Nipple Resensation While breast reconstruction can create a visually appealing breast mound, enhanced clothing options, and replenished self-confidence, the procedure does not restore sensation to the nipple areolar complex. This can be a source of concern and frustration for many women. Unless the nerves that were severed as a result of mastectomy are repaired, the patient will likely experience numbness in the breasts. Our team at The LaVie Institute of Plastic Surgery uses nerve allograft during reconstruction to repair the nerves that signal sensation to the brain. Over time, the nerve allograft is integrated into the patient’s body, cementing the sensation pathway. Nerves do take time to heal, however. Patients can expect to begin experiencing renewed sensation in the nipples within several months, with results continuing to evolve over the course of two years. ### Nipple Reconstruction Nipple reconstruction involves recreating a nipple from scratch after mastectomy. Once the breast mounds have been restored through either autologous tissue flap reconstruction or implant-based reconstruction, nipple reconstruction can begin as the final phase of the process. You can expect the following timeline: #### Consultation You will meet with our team to discuss your options for nipple reconstruction and have your questions answered in detail. The procedure can be scheduled 3-4 months after your initial breast reconstruction procedure. #### Anesthesia Nipple reconstruction can be performed under local anesthesia, reducing patient risk and expediting recovery. Clients will remain conscious but will not feel any discomfort or pain. General anesthesia is always an option, however, and your choice can be discussed during your private consultation. #### Nipple creation Your surgeon will use a skin flap to create an elevated nipple mound that is realistic-looking and natural. The nipple location will be carefully considered for a balanced, symmetrical outcome. This process takes around one hour to complete, with small sutures placed to secure the skin. #### Nipple tattooing As the last phase of nipple reconstruction, nipple tattooing can be performed around three months after nipple reconstruction. A topical anesthetic is applied to the skin, making the tattooing process nearly painless. Tattoo pigments are chosen that resemble the patient’s natural skin color. The tattoo artist will create the ideal shading for both the nipple and the areola. ### Who is an Ideal Candidate for Nipple Procedures? Candidacy for nipple resensation and nipple reconstruction with areola tattooing is assessed on an individual basis and will depend on the patient’s unique preferences as well as the type of mastectomy they undergo. For women seeking enhanced quality of life, nipple procedures can provide that final sense of completion after a long ordeal. We will meet with you for an in-depth private consultation to discuss your options and present you with a detailed treatment plan, going over the procedure's risks, benefits, recovery, and results. We take ample time to answer your questions and concerns, empowering you with the education and information you deserve to make the best decisions for your breast reconstruction journey. --- ## Preservé™ Breast Augmentation in Lone Tree & Denver, CO URL: https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/breast/preserve-breast-augmentation/ Description: Discover Preservé™ Breast Augmentation in Lone Tree and Denver.

The surgery can also restore clear vision for those whose eyesight has been obscured by low-hanging brows. ### Youthful Brow Lift As the brow starts to sag and develops folds, it can cause the patient to appear grumpy or irritated, even if they are in good spirits. The forehead region is prone to volume loss, wrinkles, lines, and creases, and can take on a hollowed appearance. Thankfully, a brow lift, otherwise known as a forehead lift, can be performed to elevate drooping eyebrows and reduce hooding of the upper eyelids, leaving the patient with a more youthful and attractive aesthetic. After receiving a brow lift, clients may experience a significant boost in self-confidence.  ### Why Choose The LaVie Institute of Plastic Surgery?

A brow lift is a surgical procedure that addresses sagging tissue in the forehead to give patients a more youthful appearance. The eyebrows are repositioned in a more aesthetically appealing location, creating a more inviting, attractive facial expression. The treatment process may involve moving the arch of the brow or simply smoothing out wrinkles on the forehead.  ### What Are the Benefits of a Brow Lift? - Natural-looking results  - Rewinds the clock on facial aging - Creates a more inviting facial expression - Improves vision - Long-lasting results - Smooths away lines, wrinkles, and folds - Can be combined with blepharoplasty or facelift - Appropriate for all genders ### Who Is a Candidate? Generally speaking, this procedure is ideal for a patient who: - Suffers from sagging eyebrows, which can obscure their vision - Is dealing with forehead furrows, fine lines, and wrinkles - Is seeking an additional procedure to complement another facial treatment, such as a facelift - Is in good physical and mental health, with no uncontrolled medical conditions - Has realistic expectations for the outcome of the treatment #### Dr. Daniali is one of the best doctors I have ever seen and I have seen many doctors in my 68 years. She is a very talented doctor, with double board certifications, which is a rare thing. As a surgeon, I found her careful, meticulous and very methodical.  As a person, she is very caring, compassionate, a great listener and genuinely wants the best for her patients. I highly recommend Dr. Daniali. Mowafak Al-Jassim ### What Is The Procedure Like? A brow lift is typically performed with a local anesthetic and a sedative, allowing the patient to rest easily throughout the operation. There are several approaches to a brow lift, and the ideal method is chosen based on the patient’s specific issues and desired outcomes.  #### Endoscopic Brow Lift With this method, tiny incisions are made at the hairline, through which an endoscope, or tubular camera, is threaded, affording the surgeon a greater degree of precision. The procedure involves well-hidden incisions; any scars will be mostly invisible. During this process, the eyebrows can be raised to a higher position, giving the patient a smoother, more youthful look.  #### Temporal Brow Lift The temporal brow lift is a less involved procedure that consists of making inch-long incisions above the temples near the hairline. The treatment works to adjust the outer forehead while simultaneously elevating the eyebrows and improving the appearance of fine lines and folds. It is often performed in tandem with a blepharoplasty. #### Coronal Brow Lift This method is considered to be a more ‘traditional’ approach. It involves making incisions across the scalp from ear to ear. The forehead skin is lifted in order to taper it back, resulting in reduced wrinkles and a smoother facial surface. With this method, the scar from the incision is carefully obscured under the patient’s hair.  #### Non-Surgical Brow Lift Otherwise known as a "BOTOX brow lift," this procedure involves administering botulinum toxin into the forehead, causing the muscles to relax. This aids in pulling the forehead downward. Like other [BOTOX procedures](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/non-surgical/injectables/botox/), follow-up treatments are required to maintain the results long-term.  ### Brow Lift Recovery Following the brow lift procedure, patients typically notice some swelling and bruising, which should fade away by the end of the first week. The patient needs to keep their head elevated throughout the first couple of weeks following the treatment, as this helps ensure a strong recovery. Patients must also temporarily refrain from working out and engaging in strenuous activity, as it can potentially disrupt the healing process. Sutures are removed in the first one to two weeks after the surgery. Overall, patients generally feel ready to get back to their daily routines after seven to ten days of rest.  ### FAQ Will there be visible scars after the surgery? Can asymmetric eyebrows be fixed? Can you use injectables for a brow lift? ### Will there be visible scars after the surgery? Incisions are usually hidden under the hairline to ensure minimal visibility. ### Can asymmetric eyebrows be fixed? Both surgery and BOTOX have proven to be effective at correcting asymmetry in the brow region. ### Can you use injectables for a brow lift? Non-surgical brow lifts employ BOTOX, a popular and versatile injectable. --- ## Chin & Cheek Augmentation Denver URL: https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/face/chin-and-cheek-augmentation/ Description: Genetics, age, weight fluctuations, lifestyle, and even environmental factors all play a role in the changes our faces experience over time.

These changes often make the patient feel less attractive than they used to be and less willing to branch out socially. Chin and cheek enhancement procedures can help enhance self-confidence and create a more harmonious profile. ### Why Choose The LaVie Institute? The LaVie Institute is a sanctuary for concierge care and personalized attention where patients receive elegant, natural-looking results in a world-class accredited setting.

Chin and cheek augmentation can help offset age-related volume loss or correct imbalances that stem from genetics, sculpting more youthful, attractive facial contours. There are a wide variety of enhancement options available, including implants, fat grafting, dermal fillers, or reduction techniques. After undergoing these procedures, patients find that their facial features become a source of confidence rather than self-consciousness.  ### What Are the Benefits? Chin and cheek augmentation comes with a wide array of benefits, including: - Improves balance and harmony among the facial features - Improves definition of the chin, cheek, and jawline  - Creates a more youthful facial structure ### Who is a Good Candidate? Chin and cheek augmentation can be revolutionary for patients who are self-conscious about their facial contours and profiles. That said, patients should make sure that they are choosing treatment for themselves and not to conform to societal norms. Ideal candidates for these treatments: - Are in good physical health and can maintain a healthy weight - Have realistic expectations for the outcome of the procedure - Are non-smokers - Are self-conscious about the appearance of their chin and/or cheeks ### Chin Enhancement Options #### Chin Implant Surgery This procedure is performed on an outpatient basis and typically lasts only an hour. Incisions are placed under the chin and inside of the mouth. The implant is inserted into a pocket in front of the jaw and kept in place by screws and sutures. Patients can usually resume their daily routines within two weeks after the surgery is completed.  #### Reduction Mentoplasty A reduction mentoplasty, otherwise known as a chin reduction, is employed to balance the facial features and decrease the overall size of the chin. The size of the chin bone is reduced, providing the patient with a positive self-image and a more proportionate profile. #### Chin Liposuction An innovative way to reduce stubborn submental fullness is through chin liposuction surgery. Small incisions under the chin are used to remove excess fat through a cannula, sculpting a more refined and youthful profile. Downtime is minimal, and results are seen immediately. #### Submentoplasty This procedure combines chin liposuction and muscle tightening to diminish a patient’s double chin. The treatment creates more definition between the chin and the neck, giving the patient a smoother neckline. The surgery is sometimes performed in tandem with a chin implant to produce a more refined and balanced aesthetic. ### Chin Liposuction with Local Anesthesia Discover a more comfortable and convenient way to undergo chin liposuction. With local anesthesia, many patients opt for a less invasive experience, minimizing the risks and recovery time typically associated with general anesthesia. - No general anesthesia required - Faster recovery and minimal downtime - Safe, effective, and discreet procedure - Return to daily activities sooner ### A Seamless Treatment at our State-of-the-Art Facility At The LaVie Institute, patients enjoy access to the skill, precision, and artistry of our four board-certified plastic surgeons who operate in a safety-oriented, accredited setting. We empower patients with the information and education they require in order to make the best decisions for their appearance and wellbeing. This means a detailed consultation as well as a thorough aftercare process to ensure a seamless, stress-free recovery. ### Cheek Enhancement Options Both surgical and non-surgical cheek augmentation procedures can improve the midface contours and balance the facial features while creating more definition and volume. #### Cheek Implants Cheek implant surgery can enhance the look of the cheeks and give more definition to the cheekbones. It is performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia. Incisions are made inside the mouth to create pockets for the implant. The implant is then positioned on or underneath the cheekbones, based on preference. The recovery period from this procedure is short, with most patients resuming their daily activities just one week after the surgery. #### Fat Grafting Patients that want to enhance their cheeks in a more natural way can benefit from fat grafting. This method involves harvesting fat from other areas of the patient’s body (most often the flanks, thighs, or stomach) and then transferring it into the cheeks by way of injections. Fat transfers are minimally invasive procedures performed using liposuction on an outpatient basis. Treatment usually requires general anesthesia, and the recovery period lasts about two weeks.  #### Dr. Daniali is the very best. She made me feel totally comfortable about my surgery, and was very thorough about what to expect after the surgery was over. As a woman, she understood what I was concerned about. Her staff is wonderful. Very caring and supportive. Not to mention I love the way I look, and even more the way I feel. Go see Dr. Daniali, you won't be sorry. Thanks Dr. Daniali! Charlene Randall --- ## Ear Surgery Denver URL: https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/face/ear-surgery/ Description: Otoplasty (ear surgery) corrects asymmetry and imbalance, creating a more harmonious appearance while enhancing confidence. Contact The LaVie Institute in Denver for a consultation. ## Ear Surgery in Denver, CO Overly prominent ears can detract from a patient’s other features, causing self-consciousness. Otoplasty (ear surgery) corrects asymmetry and imbalance, creating a more harmonious appearance while enhancing confidence. ### Ear Surgery Overview ### Otoplasty Transformation While many patients hardly give any thought to the appearance of their ears, others may feel that their ears stick out or are misshapen or asymmetrical. With children, in particular, large ears can be the source of taunting and bullying, negatively impacting their self-esteem and quality of life. Ear surgery, also known as otoplasty, is a surgical treatment that reshapes the ears by extracting excess cartilage. The procedure also has the ability to address birth defects and redefine deformities that have resulted from injury or trauma. ### Why Choose The LaVie Institute of Plastic Surgery for Ear Surgery? Patients who choose The LaVie Institute enjoy access to the combined expertise, artistry, and precision of our four board-certified plastic surgeons, who provide individualized care in a world-class accredited practice setting. We understand that each patient is on a unique life journey, and our goal is always to support the client’s wishes for aesthetic improvement while optimizing their overall wellbeing. Our detailed, personalized approach results in balanced, natural-looking outcomes that are ideal when undergoing a facial procedure as complex as otoplasty. ### What is Otoplasty? According to statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, approximately 40,000 otoplasty treatments are carried out every year, demonstrating that ear pinning is a common procedure for both children and adults. Protruding ears are a trait that is often passed down over generations. They can be the source of negative attention and taunting at school, affecting a child’s self-confidence and self-esteem. Otoplasty is designed to address irregularities in the shape, size, and projection of the ears. Once the patient’s ears are balanced with their other facial features, the appearance is vastly improved, restoring a more positive self-image. Adults who undergo the procedure find that they can enjoy a wider range of hairstyles and can do away with hats and scarves that obscure the ears. ### What Can I Expect From The Procedure? For young children, surgery can be an anxiety-inducing experience. For these young patients, it is usually recommended that they undergo general anesthesia prior to their otoplasty procedures. For adolescents and adults, IV sedation and local anesthesia usually suffice.  During surgery, excess ear cartilage is removed, and any issues with the earlobes are corrected. The goal of any otoplasty procedure is to create a balanced, attractive result that preserves the patient’s unique anatomy and beauty while achieving their desired look. ### Can Otoplasty Be Combined With Other Procedures? Otoplasty can often be performed in tandem with other popular facial procedures, such as [rhinoplasty](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/face/rhinoplasty/), a [facelift](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/face/facelift/), [chin augmentation](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/face/chin-and-cheek-augmentation/), a [brow lift](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/face/brow-lift/), or [blepharoplasty](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/face/eyelid-surgery/). Adult patients that are seeking an enhanced procedure can benefit from a personalized treatment plan that achieves all of their cosmetic goals in just one session. ### Earlobe Repair For patients struggling with torn, split, or stretched out earlobes due to an injury or oversized jewelry, we can perform strategic earlobe repair surgery, restoring the ear contours to an aesthetically pleasing condition. Earlobe reconstruction surgery can address: - Drooping earlobes from years of heavy jewelry - Earlobe lacerations from infection or poor piercing techniques - Congenital earlobe deformities - Traumatic earlobe injury and scarring  - Concerns related to large earlobe gauges  ### Our World-Class Accredited Facility Patients at The LaVie Institute receive treatment in our state-of-the-art 8-room clinic and 2 onsite accredited operating theaters, replete with the latest in advanced technology. For hand and reconstructive procedures we operate out of our hospital-based clinic, affiliated with the Swedish Medical Center and other cutting-edge surgical centers in the area. We strive to provide a seamless, stress-free experience that is both rewarding and revitalizing. No question is too trivial for our team to answer in depth and no concern is left unaddressed by your detailed treatment plan. #### What Are the Benefits? Some of the benefit of ear surgery include the following: - Can address birth defects - Pins the ears back closer to the scalp - Redefines and brings harmony to the ears - Boosts self-confidence - Can be performed on young children as young as four years old - Results are long-lasting #### Who Is A Good Candidate? Candidacy for otoplasty is less stringent than other procedures, as it can be performed on patients of virtually all ages (children, teens, and adults). As with any procedure, ideal candidates are non-smokers in good physical and mental health who have realistic expectations for the outcome of the procedure. Performing an otoplasty requires that the ears be fully grown, which usually happens at around 4 or 5 years of age. Carrying out the surgery before a child starts elementary school is usually preferable.  ### What will Ear Surgery Recovery Entail? Following the [surgery](https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/otoplasty/about/pac-20394822), patients are prescribed the appropriate pain medications and provided with a post-procedure plan that gives further information on incision care, bathing, resuming exercise, and returning to work or school. Patients may be fitted with a bulky dressing that stays in place for about 3 days, protecting the redefined ear shape and reducing any swelling. Bruising and redness usually dissipate within about 7 to 10 days following the procedure. Most adults can return to work only a week after the procedure.  --- ## Eyelid Surgery Denver URL: https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/face/eyelid-surgery/ Description: Over time, factors such as sun damage, an unhealthy lifestyle, and the natural aging process can all have an effect on the appearance of the eyes.

Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic procedure that can be used to address issues in both the upper and lower eyelids. It is a customizable treatment that can meet the individual needs of the patient. While eyelid surgery is known to address excess skin, it can also tighten the muscles responsible for lifting the lids.  Every patient has slightly different concerns. Some are more prone to heavy upper eyelids that sag due to excess fat. Other patients may be struggling with heavy lower eyelids that look puffy or have developed under-eye bags. A custom eyelid surgery is able to address all of these issues.  ### Before & After [View Gallery](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/gallery/face-neck-surgical-procedures/blepharoplasty-eyelid-surgery/) ### Blepharoplasty Patient Testimonial ### What Are the Benefits of Eyelid Surgery? - Reduces hooding of the upper eyelids - Reduces bags and puffiness beneath the eyes - Improves the patient’s vision - Diminishes fine lines and wrinkles  - Preserves the patient’s natural beauty  - Corrects concerns related to aging  - Tightens underlying muscle groups - Creates a more youthful-looking smile ### Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Blepharoplasty? Blepharoplasty is a popular treatment to reduce fine lines and dark circles around the eyes, puffy bags underneath the eyes, and sagging skin above the eyes that may obscure vision. The procedure works by smoothing out and tightening the skin and muscle in both the upper and lower eyelids, giving patients a younger, more refreshed aesthetic. As with all other cosmetic surgeries, ideal candidates for eyelid surgery are non-smokers that are in good physical and mental health and have pragmatic expectations for the outcomes of the procedure. We will perform a detailed consultation and physical examination to ensure eyelid surgery will be a safe and successful option for achieving your goals. ### Upper Bleph with Local Anesthesia Experience a more comfortable and convenient approach to upper blepharoplasty with local anesthesia. Many patients choose this option to minimize the risks and recovery time typically associated with general anesthesia. - No general anesthesia required - Faster recovery and minimal downtime - Safe, effective, and discreet procedure - Return to daily activities sooner ### How is the Procedure Performed? Surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia or can be performed with IV sedation and local anesthesia, depending on your treatment plan. For upper blepharoplasty, incisions are created within the natural folds of the upper lids. The surgeon removes excess tissue, trims pockets of fat, and tightens the muscles before closing the incisions with fine sutures. For lower blepharoplasty, the surgeon creates tiny incisions inside the lower lids or within the lower lash lines, where scarring is naturally hidden and inconspicuous. Excess fat and tissue are excised and the underlying muscles are tightened. Sutures are then closed with fine sutures. Lower and upper blepharoplasty are often combined to comprehensively revitalize the upper face and create a more inviting expression. ### Eyelid Surgery Recovery Eyelid surgery is performed on an outpatient basis, and patients are able to return home after just a short rest. Clients will need help getting home and carrying out household activities for at least the first day. Patients should aim to rest as much as possible for the first week. During this period, the head should be kept elevated (to ensure proper blood circulation) and any activities that will cause strain to the eyes, such as watching copious amounts of television, should be avoided. It is normal for patients to experience some swelling and bruising around the eye area after blepharoplasty. These symptoms can temporarily obscure vision, but they usually fade away on their own as the swelling dissipates. Eye drops can be employed to help mitigate any dryness or itching of the eyes. Most blepharoplasty patients are able to get back to work and their daily routines in about seven to 10 days. Nonetheless, they should refrain from engaging in any strenuous activity for at least one to two weeks. #### Dr. Pulikkottil is very professional and caring. He is always available for any questions and to explain my surgery at a level I can understand it. Dr. Pulikkottil put together a staff I always look forward to seeing. My surgery went exactly as described, and I feel my healing is going better than he described. A big thank you for making my experience better than originally described.

Schedule a consultation with The LaVie Institute in Denver, CO. While non-surgical methods of facial rejuvenation such as fillers, thread lifts, and fat transfer can offer limited relief from the signs of aging, many patients eventually turn to a facelift to achieve the dramatic and long-lasting transformation they desire. ### Youthful Facelift Transformation Facelift surgery is considered the gold standard of facial rejuvenation techniques and can combat changes in the cheeks, jawline, and upper neck.

We understand that each client is on a unique life journey and we aim to exceed their expectations through concierge, patient-centric care in a state-of-the-art, safety-oriented setting. ### What is a Facelift? While dermal fillers and energy-based devices can offer short term facial rejuvenation to smooth lines and combat volume loss, they are no match for sagging skin in the midface and jawline, which can compromise one’s image and distract from the beauty of the features. A surgical facelift addresses skin laxity in the lower face, correcting jowls, tightening the underlying muscles, and rewinding the clock by as much as a decade. Facelift surgery can: - Elevate sagging cheeks - Reverse drooping jowls - Correct redundant skin folds  - Tighten and tone the muscles - Amplify definition in the jawline - Reduce wrinkles and lines ### Facelift Types #### SMAS Facelift The [SMAS](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK531458/) lift is an advanced technique that addresses the lower facial regions, targeting the superficial muscular aponeurotic system to provide significant support and long-lasting rejuvenation. By adjusting the deeper facial muscles, your surgeon can produce results that appear authentic and personalized. It is an excellent procedure for firming the jowls, improving definition in the jawline, and reversing sagging in the midface. #### Deep Plane Facelift A deep plane lift addresses the layer beneath the SMAS to remodel the facial the deeper attachments of the facial structure, shifting the tissue and muscles as a single unit rather than piecemeal. The surgeon is able to focus on gentle lifting rather than tightly pulling the skin, which leads to a dramatically more natural-looking and longer-lasting result. In some cases, the facial fat pads in the cheeks may be repositioned to further enhance a lifted aesthetic. #### Mini Facelift A mini facelift comes with shorter incisions and less downtime than its conventional counterpart and can be performed to elevate the cheeks, correct early jowling, and redefine the jawline. The procedure can be combined with dermal fillers or fat grafting to produce a revitalized, well-rested appearance. Many patients in their 40s who are not quite ready for a full facelift undergo a mini lift to address signs of aging when they first appear. #### Non-Surgical Facelift For those seeking temporary improvements with no downtime or discomfort, a non-surgical facelift can be performed using a combination of dermal fillers such as [Juvederm](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/non-surgical/injectables/juvederm/), [Restylane](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/non-surgical/injectables/restylane/), and [Sculptra](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/non-surgical/injectables/sculptra/). Fillers have the unique ability to restore volume sacrificed to the aging process, but they cannot address sagging layers of skin in the mid and lower face. For this concern, only a surgical facelift will achieve the desired results. ### Microlift vs. Full Facelift ### Candidacy Ideal candidates for a facelift are struggling with a loss of skin elasticity, jowling, and a lax jawline. They may have explored non-invasive options in the past but are now ready for a procedure that produces more significant changes. Patients undergoing cosmetic surgery should be in good mental and physical health, be non-smokers, and have realistic, positive attitudes towards their outcomes. ### How is the Facelift Procedure Performed? #### Anesthesia Facelift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation. Patients remain asleep and feel no pain. A responsible adult, friend, or family member will be required to drive the patient home after surgery. #### Incisions Your surgeon will create incisions according to your unique treatment plan and the type of approach chosen (SMAS, deep plane, mini lift, etc.) Incisions are typically well-hidden in the hairline, within the folds behind the ears, under the chin, or even on the inside of the mouth. #### Procedure Through the incisions, your surgeon will remove excess sagging tissue along with small pockets of stubborn fat. The facial muscles will be firmed and a natural aesthetic will be upheld at all times. #### Sutures As a final step, your incisions will be closed with fine sutures, either dissolvable or removable. Skin glue may also be used as required. The patient is then placed in the recovery suite for careful monitoring until it is safe to release them. ### What Can I Expect From My Recovery? Once it is safe for you to go home, you will be released into the care of a friend, helper, or loved one who will escort you home and assist you for the first 24-48 hours after surgery. You will leave The LaVie Institute with a detailed aftercare plan, prescription pain medications and antibiotics, and light dressings to protect your newly sculpted contours.  Small drains may be attached to help remove excess blood and fluids from the body, lowering the risk of complications. We will instruct you on best practices for wound care, sleeping, bathing, resuming your workouts, and eventually returning to work or school. Our team will remain on hand to answer any questions that arise and to ensure a fluid and stress-free recovery. ### FAQ Will a facelift correct jowling? When can I exercise again after my facelift? How long does the procedure take? What are the risks of a facelift? ### Will a facelift correct jowling? Unlike dermal fillers, a facelift is highly effective for sculpting and redefining the jawline. ### When can I exercise again after my facelift? Early on, you can get started with gentle walking, which helps encourage proper circulation and prevents clotting. Vigorous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for 4-6 weeks, or as recommended by your plastic surgeon. ### How long does the procedure take? Facelift surgery can take anywhere from 2-4 hours, depending on the extent of the changes required and the specific techniques utilized. If additional surgical procedures are undergone in tandem, such as a neck lift, eyelid surgery, or laser treatments, procedure time may be extended. ### What are the risks of a facelift? Risks can be reduced by choosing board-certified plastic surgeons such as our skilled and experienced team here at The LaVie Institute. All surgical procedures come with inherent risks, however. These include bleeding, infection, poor anesthesia reactions, poor wound healing, nerve injury, temporary numbness, prolonged swelling, hematoma, changes in skin pigmentation, and others.

The... ## Fat Transfer in Denver, CO While leading a healthy lifestyle can help fight off certain signs of aging, volume loss, wrinkles, and lines will catch up to most of us eventually. A facial fat transfer provides a viable anti-aging solution, offering the patient a more radiant, attractive aesthetic. ### Facial Fat Rejuvenation While many patients know that the aging process creates wrinkles and fine lines, few have a good understanding of how volume loss can also alter their appearance. Diminished facial fat volume often leads to hollow-looking contours that make the patient look perpetually tired. The facial fat transfer procedure can revitalize the skin, restoring plumpness to the temples, cheeks, lips, and the outer eye region. ### Why Choose The LaVie Institute of Plastic Surgery? At The LaVie Institute, our four seasoned, board-certified plastic surgeons curate customized treatment plans to deliver the nuanced, elegant transformation you envision. Each procedure is meticulously performed in one of our state-of-the-art accredited operating theaters, equipped with the latest in advanced technology. We understand that each client is on a one-of-a-kind journey towards achieving their best selves, and we aim to exceed expectations through thoughtful, concierge level care that begins the moment you contact us. ### What is Facial Fat Transfer? During facial fat transfer, otherwise known as fat grafting, fat is harvested from the client’s own body, taken from areas of excess such as the thighs, stomach, or flanks. The fat is then injected into the face to revitalize hollowed-out contours. The procedure is popular because it provides the dual benefit of slimming and sculpting the donor regions. Facial fat transfer is a great option for patients who would like natural enhancement without using fillers or surgery. The procedure can restore fullness and vitality in the cheeks, temples, eye areas, and lips. ### Which Areas Can Be Addressed? - Tear troughs - Under the eyes - Orbital area - Nasolabial folds - Marionette lines - Laugh lines - Lips - Corners of the mouth - Temples - Forehead - Cheeks - Chin - Jawline - Acne scars #### How is the Procedure Performed? Facial fat transfer is usually carried out under local anesthesia unless the patient is receiving another surgical treatment simultaneously or simply prefers general anesthesia. A thin tube, known as a cannula, is used to harvest fat via liposuction from the donor sites. The cells are then prepared for injection through processing in a centrifuge. This purified fat is then injected into the predetermined regions of the face, providing a natural boost in supple fullness.  #### What Happens After My Procedure? Most fat transfer patients are able to resume work within the first week following the procedure. That said, every patient has their own unique healing process, and some may require more recovery time. Swelling, bruising, and tenderness in the treatment areas are all common and to be expected. These side effects typically dissipate after a few weeks. Patients may go for light walks as soon as they feel ready, but they are advised to avoid all forms of vigorous exercise for at least 2 to 3 weeks.    ### What Are The Benefits of a Facial Fat Transfer? - Corrects volume loss in the cheeks and other areas - Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles  - Softens the complexion for a more youthful appearance - Minimizes scars  - Minimally invasive procedure with little downtime - No risk of allergic reactions - Option for local anesthesia - Long-lasting results ### Who Is a Good Candidate? Patients that are unhappy with the effects of volume loss in the face can enjoy the benefits of a facial fat grafting procedure, provided they have ample donor fat to draw from in another area of the physique. As with any surgical procedure, being in good mental and physical health and having realistic expectations for the outcome of the operation are vital. Additionally, patients seeking out this procedure should be non-smokers, as smoking can cause complications and negatively impact the longevity of results.  ### A Haven for Aesthetic Excellence We designed The LaVie Institute as a home away from home for discerning patients seeking best-in-class technology, a devoted staff, and the highest standards of safety.

Contact The LaVie Institute in Denver for a consultation. ## Neck Lift in Denver, CO A neck lift is ideal for combating sagging skin, vertical neck bands, and a loss of definition. The procedure helps tone, tighten, and sculpt the neck, giving the patient a new lease on life with enhanced self-confidence. ### Neck Lift Overview ### Youthful Neck Lift When patients seek out anti-aging treatments, the first procedures that come to mind typically address the face. Many patients overlook the role that the neck plays in presenting a youthful aesthetic. Aging in the neck can manifest as sagging skin, vertical lines, or a double chin. While some devices now exist that can achieve temporary skin tightening, a surgical neck lift is considered to be the only way to accomplish dramatic, lasting changes that genuinely rewind the clock.   ### Restore a Youthful Neck Contour, Expert Neck Lift A neck lift at LaVie Plastic Surgery redefines your jawline and smooths excess skin for a youthful, elegant profile. Our surgeons use advanced techniques to reposition deep structures, providing natural, long-lasting results.

The LaVie Institute is a cutting-edge facility combining the skill, artistry, and aesthetic vision of four board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeons. Our fully accredited center provides access to a state-of-the-art 8-room clinic along with two onsite operating theaters, equipped with the latest in advanced technology. Our mission is to provide outstanding, concierge care to empower our clients on their unique life journeys toward fulfilling their dreams. With this in mind, we offer comprehensive and patient-centric treatments that exceed expectations. ### What is a Neck Lift? While many cosmetic surgery treatments are designed to treat the face, no anti-aging plan is complete without a protocol for the neck. Loose skin combined with fine vertical lines, wrinkles, and creases can draw the gaze away from the smile and the other features, compromising the patient’s overall attractiveness.  A [neck lift](https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/neck-lift/about/pac-20384583) works by extracting excess tissue, tightening the platysmal bands, and reducing submental fat. When performed by an experienced plastic surgeon, a neck lift has the ability to improve a patient’s self-image, giving them a new-found sense of security in how they look.  The procedure employs advanced, innovative technology that smooths out and redefines contours in the neck, delivering natural-looking results that can take several years off of the patient’s appearance. Patients can undergo additional cosmetic treatments with their neck lift, such as a facelift or blepharoplasty. ### How is a Neck Lift Performed? With a neck lift, incisions are typically made beneath the chin or within the folds of the ears, extending upwards into the scalp to keep them obscured from view. The surgeon extracts redundant skin, removes pockets of fat, and tightens the platysmal bands.  In some cases, neck liposuction may be performed in order to provide additional sculpting for bulky contours. On average, a neck lift procedure can take anywhere from 1 to 4 hours to complete, depending on how much work is needed and whether any additional procedures are performed simultaneously.  #### What are the Benefits? A neck lift delivers powerful yet natural-looking rejuvenation by addressing multiple signs of aging at once: - Sagging skin is greatly reduced - Fine lines and wrinkles are smoothed out - Submental fat is minimized - Definition in the jawline is improved - The neck muscles are tightened - Creates a more youthful, enticing aesthetic - Boosts self-image and self-esteem - Natural-looking results - Long-lasting outcome - Can be performed in tandem with liposuction and facelift surgery  #### Who is an Ideal Candidate? It goes without saying that patients seeking a thinner, firmer neck appearance with less sagging and folding will enjoy the outstanding benefits of a surgical neck lift. This remarkable procedure has the ability to restore a strong, supple profile that exudes youth and beauty.  Good candidates for the procedure are non-smokers in good physical and mental health that are free from any serious health conditions. They have realistic expectations for the outcome of the procedure. We will conduct a thorough examination and review of each patient’s medical history in order to ensure that a neck lift is a safe, viable option. ### What Can I Expect From My Recovery? Following a neck lift procedure, patients will need to enlist the aid of a friend or family member to drive them home and take care of them for the first 24 hours. Upon returning home, patients will need to keep their heads elevated for the first several days.  Swelling, bruising, and soreness are all common side effects, but prescription pain medications, antibiotics, and an individualized aftercare plan can ensure that the patient is comfortable throughout the healing process.  In most cases, patients are able to get back to work and their other daily activities within the first 2 weeks, provided that their job is not physically strenuous. Patients should refrain from engaging in heavy exercise for at least 4 weeks.  --- ## Rhinoplasty Denver URL: https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/face/rhinoplasty/ Description: Rhinoplasty is a powerful surgical technique that can revolutionize a patient’s profile by redefining the size and shape of the nose. Contact The LaVie Institute in Denver for a consultation. ## Rhinoplasty in Denver, CO Rhinoplasty is a powerful surgical technique that can revolutionize a patient’s profile by redefining the size and shape of the nose. While rhinoplasty focuses primarily on improving the aesthetics of the nose, the surgery is also employed to correct structural issues, providing the patient with better sleep and easier breathing. ### Elegant Nose Refinement As the focal point of the face, the nose plays an important role in terms of balancing the features and creating a bridge from the smile to the eyes. Those dealing with a disproportionately large nose, or other aesthetic issues such as an unshapely nasal tip or large nostrils, may find rhinoplasty to be an ideal solution for their concerns. The procedure can provide a more elegant, youthful look and a significant uptick in self-confidence.  ### Why Choose The LaVie Institute of Plastic Surgery? Rhinoplasty is a delicate, complex procedure that requires not only skill, precision, and experience, but also a sophisticated eye for artistry in order to produce elegant, natural-looking changes that enhance the client’s overall beauty. Our four board-certified plastic surgeons each have a reputation for excellence and provide personalized treatment plans in a state-of-the-art, safety-oriented practice environment. When you choose to trust your face to a team with extensive expertise in the realm of intricate facial enhancement, the providers at The LaVie Institute will go above and beyond to exceed your expectations. ### What Is Rhinoplasty? Rhinoplasty is a surgical treatment that redefines the shape and size of the nose to address cosmetic or functional issues. As every patient has their own unique goals, the surgery is highly customized and bespoke. The techniques used are specifically tailored to suit the unique anatomy, aesthetic tastes, and desired look of each client. A rhinoplasty can be performed to correct: - The size, length, and width of the nose - Noticeable bumps or dents on the nasal bridge - The nasal tip (large, bulbous, drooping, or upturned) - The nostrils (wide, large, or upturned) - Asymmetry - A dorsal hump ### Types of Rhinoplasty #### Cosmetic Rhinoplasty Here, the objective is to give the nose a new aesthetic that better matches the other facial features. The procedure focuses on treating issues such as a dorsal hump, a bulbous or drooping tip, or flaring nostrils. Once the nose is given a new look and shape, it functions as a liaison between the smile and the eyes, enhancing overall attractiveness. While the primary goal is never purely functional changes, breathing may be less restricted after surgery. #### Functional Rhinoplasty Functional rhinoplasty aims to remove blockages in the nasal passageways, resulting in improved breathing and sleep. This surgical procedure can treat a deviated septum, enlarged turbinates, and other issues. While surgery is primarily designed to address structural issues, there are some cosmetic benefits as well. Many patients choose to combine their cosmetic and functional rhinoplasties to achieve an overall higher quality of life. #### Ethnic Rhinoplasty Ethnic rhinoplasty is designed to treat nasal issues in patients of various ethnic backgrounds. The goal is to correct issues in the nasal tip, bridge, and nostrils while preserving the patient’s unique heritage and ethnic background. Patients of Middle Eastern, African, Asian, and Hispanic descent can all benefit from our customized approach. Patients today have more options than were previously available, as surgeries of the past often focused on achieving results best-suited for patients of European descent.  #### Revision Rhinoplasty Revision rhinoplasty is a procedure to correct or enhance the outcomes of a previous nose job. In some cases, the plastic surgeon may have removed too much cartilage and bone, resulting in structural collapse. There is also the possibility that the original changes did not do enough to meet the patient’s goals. Regardless of the situation, patients must wait at least a year before judging the final outcomes of the procedure, as any remaining swelling in the area can distort the nasal shape.  ### Rhinoplasty Techniques #### Open Rhinoplasty The open technique involves making a small, well-hidden incision across the columella at the base of the nose. With this approach, the practitioner is able to address cosmetic issues in all areas of the nose with enhanced precision. It is the ideal approach for those requiring in-depth structural reshaping. #### Closed Rhinoplasty With the closed technique, on the other hand, no external incisions are needed to complete the surgery. The practitioner is able to make modest corrections by way of the nostrils. This approach is best suited for patients who need small adjustments and are looking for a scarless procedure. ### Schedule a Consultation [Contact Us](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/contact/) ### What Are The Benefits? - Provides a boost in self-confidence  - Corrects flaws of the nasal bridge, tip, and nostrils - Improves breathing and sleep quality - Adjusts nasal symmetry  - Can reverse birth defects - Corrects damage sustained from trauma or injury - Aids in affirming the patient’s gender - Can be performed on children as young as 13 (girls) or 16 (boys)  ### Who Is A Good Candidate For Nose Surgery? Patients struggling with structural or aesthetic flaws in the nose can undergo rhinoplasty with stunning results, provided that they are in good physical and mental health, have no major medical conditions that could complicate the procedure, are non-smokers, and have pragmatic expectations for their outcome.  #### What Is The Recovery Like? Thanks to our board-certified surgeons' meticulous attention to detail and precision-based techniques, most patients do not consider rhinoplasty to be a painful procedure. The recovery period can range anywhere from 7 to 14 days. The nasal splint is removed at the 7-day mark post-op. #### Recovery Timeline - A supportive splint is placed on the nose during the first week - Patients are required to sleep with their heads elevated above the heart - Sutures are removed about one week into the recovery process - Bruising and swelling noticeably dissipate about seven to ten days post-op - After about a month, patients should be able to get back to more strenuous activities ### FAQ Which form of rhinoplasty can thin out my nose? Do I need to stop drinking alcohol before the procedure? Can a crooked nose be fixed without rhinoplasty? ### Which form of rhinoplasty can thin out my nose? A rhinoplasty procedure can adjust both the length and the width of the nasal tip. It can also adjust the width of the nostrils. ### Do I need to stop drinking alcohol before the procedure? While patients are allowed to have small amounts of alcohol, such as a glass of wine with dinner, it is recommended to drink as little as possible for 2 weeks prior to the surgery. ### Can a crooked nose be fixed without rhinoplasty? In many cases, a non-surgical rhinoplasty procedure is able to straighten out the contours of the nose. However, there are some patients whose conditions will call for surgery. --- ## Hair Transplants & Restoration Denver URL: https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/hair/ ## Hair [PRP Hair Restoration](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/hair/prp-hair-restoration/) --- ## PRP Hair Restoration Denver URL: https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/hair/prp-hair-restoration/ Description: PRP injections represent a best-in-class solution for shedding, thinning, and balding to restore quality of life and a sense of youthfulness. Contact The LaVie Institute in Denver for more information. ## PRP Hair Restoration in Denver, CO Hair loss is an upsetting condition for men and women alike. It can decrease self-esteem and make one feel older. [PRP injections](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/non-surgical/anti-aging/platelet-rich-plasma-prp/) represent a best-in-class solution for shedding, thinning, and balding to restore quality of life and a sense of youthfulness. ### PRP Hair Regrowth For those dealing with a receding hairline, shedding, or diffuse thinning, relief can be achieved with state-of-the-art PRP injections. In recent years, platelet-rich plasma has become a popular treatment option to replenish the hair follicles. This natural approach uses the body’s own healing power to revitalize and regenerate the patient’s hair growth.  ### Why Choose The LaVie Institute for Hair Restoration? Our skilled, compassionate providers understand the frustration that comes with hair loss and we have created strategic solutions optimized for your health, success, and wellbeing. You will receive concierge level care in a safety-oriented practice setting that boasts among the most cutting-edge technology currently available. We aim to exceed expectations for excellence, allowing you to attain your ideal vision for your appearance. ### What Is PRP? Certain components in the blood have the ability to induce a natural healing process. Plasma contains platelets that are well-known for their various beneficial growth factors. When concentrated and used properly, these components can restore the hair from the inside out. With a PRP treatment, a small amount of the patient’s blood is drawn, allowing the practitioner to isolate and reinject the platelet-rich plasma.  ### What Is PRP Hair Restoration? While many may believe otherwise, hair loss usually isn’t an indication that the hair follicles are gone forever. In most cases, the follicles have simply lain dormant and are no longer going through their natural growth cycle. PRP is an excellent treatment option that allows patients to avoid approaches such as hair transplants or medication. After it’s injected into the scalp, PRP has the ability to stimulate new stem cell growth in the hair follicles’ roots. This process works by waking up the hair follicles and rebooting their hair production process. PRP can also stimulate vital blood flow, which promotes normal hair growth. Results may take time to emerge, as the hair grows in several distinct phases (anagen, catagen, and telogen). ### PRP Injections for Hair Regrowth and Skin Rejuvenation #### Benefits of PRP Hair Restoration - Revitalization and stimulation of the hair follicles - Increased cell turnover - Stimulation of new cell growth and strong cell activity - A reduction in scalp inflammation - Increased hair density, strength, and vitality - Quick treatment sessions - No downtime - Enhanced self-confidence #### What Can I Expect from the Procedure? PRP treatments always begin with the practitioner drawing the patient’s blood. Next, the blood is placed in a centrifuge. This device spins the small vial of blood around at high speed, resulting in the separation of the plasma from the unrequired cells. As a hair loss treatment, PRP can be injected in the same way that dermal fillers are. This is the most common method for administering PRP to the scalp. ### What Are The Causes of Hair Loss? The average number of hairs that a person sheds each day is said to be around 100. As new hair is constantly growing, regular hair shedding usually goes unnoticed. It is when new hairs do not quickly replace shed hairs that the scalp can start to appear thinned out. Hair loss can often be linked to the following factors: - Diet and lifestyle – Certain foods, such as gluten, dairy, and sugar, can lead to hair loss in sensitive individuals. A sedentary lifestyle can also be a contributing factor, as exercise is important for proper blood flow.  - Fluctuations in hormone levels – Pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause can all cause fluctuations in hormone levels, leading to temporary hair loss or shedding (called telogen effluvium). - Infections and medical conditions – In some cases, hair loss may result from a thyroid issue or a hampered immune system. Scalp infections, ringworm, and trichotillomania can be factors in hair loss, as well.  - Heredity – While there is usually an environmental stressor, it is the genes that dictate a patient’s susceptibility to hair loss.  - Medications – Certain cancer drugs and medications for depression, heart problems, arthritis, and hypertension can potentially contribute to hair loss. - Radiation – After receiving radiation to the scalp, some patients find that their hair does not grow back properly. - Stress – Excessive amounts of stress can result in hair shedding.  - Certain hairstyles and hair treatments – Pulling or tying hair very tightly can result in traction alopecia. Perms and hot oil treatments are also known to negatively impact hair growth. ### Am I A Candidate? The criteria for candidacy with PRP are not very stringent. Overall, PRP is ideal for patients who are looking for a natural and non-invasive approach to restoring their locks. That said, there are certain factors that can influence a patient’s eligibility, including the following: - Pregnancy - Excess scar tissue - Certain blood disorders #### What Can I Expect From My Results? For most patients, several PRP treatment sessions are needed to attain the ideal results. With hair restoration, the average frequency of PRP sessions is once a month for four to six months, depending on how the patient’s hair responds to the treatments. The biggest jump in growth typically occurs several months after the first round of PRP appointments. Only two sessions a year are usually required for maintenance after that. #### Our Cutting-Edge Facility At The LaVie Institute, we have taken the time to design a home away from home where patients can feel valued, comfortable, and safe.

Each treatment plan is customized to your unique goals. #### Penile Augmentation Penis enlargement can be performed in a variety of innovative ways.

Dermal fillers are used to combat static wrinkles that form as a result of aging, sun damage, and a loss of collagen over time. These treatments can be used in combination for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. #### Blepharoplasty and Brow Lift [Blepharoplasty](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/face/eyelid-surgery/) (eyelid surgery) is performed to revitalize the upper face appearance, removing excess drooping skin that may even be interfering with vision. A brow lift provides a smoother, more youthful-looking forehead and a brighter, more inviting facial expression. These procedures can be paired with a facelift or neck lift as well. #### Chin Augmentation A weak chin is often passed down through the generations as a genetic trait and can compromise the harmony of the facial features.

The surgery can be performed with customized chin implants, or by using dermal fillers such as Juvederm Voluma.  ### Our Concierge Consultation Process When you visit The LaVie Institute of Plastic Surgery, you are setting foot on an extraordinary journey of self-actualization.

Now available at The LaVie Institute in Denver. ### What Is alloClae™? alloClae™ is a groundbreaking structural adipose tissue designed for body contouring — the first of its kind. Unlike synthetic fillers or harvested fat transfers, alloClae is composed of intact adipocytes and naturally occurring extracellular matrix (ECM). It retains the innate 3D honeycomb structure of the adipocytes to provide immediate volume at the application site, while the ECM — with naturally occurring growth factors, proteins, and collagens — supports lasting results.

Book a consultation with us today to learn more about how we can help you achieve your aesthetic goals... ## MyEllevate® in Denver MyEllevate is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive facial rejuvenation treatment designed to lift and contour the jawline and neck with natural-looking results. This revolutionary procedure targets underlying muscles and glands without the need for incisions, offering a quicker recovery time and lasting results. ### Experience an Innovative Non-Surgical Facelift Alternative at The LaVie Institute Ideal for patients seeking a refreshed, youthful appearance, MyEllevate provides subtle yet effective enhancement, helping you look and feel your best. Book a consultation with us today to learn more about how we can help you achieve your aesthetic goals. ### What is MyEllevate? MyEllevate uses a light-guided suture system to create a supportive network beneath the skin, which involves placing a series of sutures through small punctures under the chin and behind the ears. The specially designed light wand guides the sutures into position, allowing for precise placement without extensive incisions. As you age, the suture continues to provide lift and definition. This helps maintain your rejuvenated appearance over time. This treatment targets common signs of aging in the lower face, including: - Jowls - Loose neck skin - Loss of jawline definition ### Benefits of MyEllevate - This minimally invasive procedure provides natural-looking results without extensive surgery or downtime - You'll experience a lifted and more youthful appearance, particularly in the lower face and neck areas - Recovery time is significantly shorter compared to traditional facelifts, as most patients can return to normal activities within a few days - MyEllevate’s minimal scarring appeals to those seeking discreet cosmetic improvements - The procedure is customizable to your specific needs and facial structure - MyEllevate can be combined with other treatments for enhanced results and comprehensive facial rejuvenation strategies - The treatment stimulates collagen production, promoting ongoing skin improvement over time, so you may notice continued enhancements in skin texture and firmness ### Am I a Good Candidate for MyEllevate? Ideal candidates are typically between 30 and 60; however, age is not the sole determining factor, and your overall health and skin condition play important roles. - You may be an ideal candidate for MyEllevate if you: - Have mild to moderate sagging or laxity in the neck or jawline - Are looking for a minimally invasive solution with a quicker recovery time - Have good skin elasticity and are in overall good health - Are seeking subtle, natural-looking improvements rather than drastic changes ### Consultation at The LaVie Institute You'll meet with one of our specialists at The LaVie Institute to discuss your goals and medical history. Before explaining the procedure, potential risks, and expected outcomes, we will examine your face and neck to determine if you're a suitable candidate. ### MyEllevate Procedure Arrive with a clean face and wear comfortable clothing. The procedure typically begins with the application of local anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment. Using the ICLED® light-guided suture system, we will place small sutures beneath the skin to elevate and tighten the underlying muscles and tissues. This precise technique minimizes trauma to the surrounding areas and results in a more natural-looking lift. The entire process is done through small punctures in the skin, meaning no large incisions are required. This results in less swelling, minimal scarring, and a quicker recovery than traditional neck lift surgeries. Once the sutures are in place, you’ll see an immediate improvement in the contours of your neck and jawline, and the results will continue to improve as healing progresses. The MyEllevate procedure typically takes about one hour, making it a convenient option for those seeking quick yet transformative results. ### Recovery After MyEllevate, you can return home the same day. However, for the first few days, expect some swelling and bruising. Follow these post-procedure guidelines: - To reduce swelling, apply cold compresses and keep your head elevated - Avoid strenuous activities for 1-2 weeks - Attend follow-up appointments as scheduled ### Results Initial results are visible immediately, with continued improvement over the next few months. Full results typically appear within 3-6 months as tissues settle and collagen production increases. You'll notice a more defined jawline, lifted neck, and smoother skin texture. With proper skincare and a healthy lifestyle, results can last several years. ### Why Choose The LaVie Institute for MyEllevate? The LaVie Institute stands out as a premier destination for MyEllevate Facial Rejuvenation. Our board-certified plastic surgeons bring years of experience and expertise to every procedure, and you'll benefit from their advanced training in the latest facial rejuvenation techniques.

Is MyEllevate® painful? How long do the results of MyEllevate® last? Are there any risks or side effects with MyEllevate®? ### How is MyEllevate® different from a traditional neck lift? Unlike a traditional neck lift, MyEllevate® does not require large incisions or the removal of excess skin. It focuses on repositioning and tightening the underlying structures using small punctures and sutures, resulting in a quicker recovery and less scarring. ### Is MyEllevate® painful? No, MyEllevate® is performed under local anesthesia, so patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. Some mild swelling or tenderness may occur afterward, but this usually subsides within a few days. ### How long do the results of MyEllevate® last? The results of MyEllevate® are long-lasting, with many patients enjoying a rejuvenated appearance for several years. Factors like age, lifestyle, and skin quality can impact the longevity of the results, but the procedure significantly improves neck and jawline contour. ### Are there any risks or side effects with MyEllevate®? Like any procedure, some risks are associated with MyEllevate®, including swelling, bruising, or temporary discomfort. However, since it’s minimally invasive, the risks are lower than traditional surgical procedures, and complications are rare. --- ## Platelet Rich Plasma Denver URL: https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/non-surgical/anti-aging/platelet-rich-plasma-prp/ Description: Vampire Facials, also known as microneedling with PRP, employ Platelet Rich Plasma to revitalize the skin’s contours and overall texture. Check us out at The LaVie Institute in Denver. ## Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in Denver, CO Using Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), a type of growth factor in the blood that can induce wound healing, cosmetic practitioners are able to achieve astonishing skin transformations. ### PRP Facial Rejuvenation Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) contains growth factors that can repair cellular damage, boost circulation, and activate the body’s natural collagen production mechanism, making it an ideal compound for use in facial rejuvenation treatments. Our innovative facials can revitalize the complexion, reviving a supple, youthful glow. ### Why Choose The LaVie Institute of Plastic Surgery?

Microneedling treatments with PRP employ Platelet Rich Plasma to revitalize the skin’s contours and overall texture. This non-surgical procedure involves separating out the PRP from the patient’s blood using a centrifuge and then injecting it back into the skin. The ultra-thin needles used are virtually painless. The growth factors found in the PRP solution activate the skin’s natural repair process. This translates to new stem cell growth, a boost in collagen production, and increased blood circulation. Treatment results in the dissipation of wrinkles, discoloration, and age spots, leaving the patient with a smoother and more radiant complexion. ### Schedule a Consultation [Contact Us](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/contact/) ### What Are The Benefits? - A safe, non-invasive procedure with no downtime - Healing properties obtained from the patient’s own blood - Smooths out fine lines and wrinkles - Corrects hyperpigmentation - Fades scars that result from acne, trauma, surgery, or burns - Induces skin repair at the cellular level - Helps the skin to retain more moisture - Stimulates collagen production - Revitalizes skin tone and texture - Quick treatment time with results lasting up to 18 months ### Who Is a Candidate? - Struggles with visible signs of aging  - Afflicted with dry skin - Suffers from acne scarring or hyperpigmentation - Not yet ready for facelift surgery - In good physical and mental health  - Non-smoker - Is not currently taking corticosteroid injections or NSAIDs - Is not currently pregnant or breastfeeding  #### What Will My Procedure Entail? The first step is to draw blood from the arm. Platelets are then extracted from the blood sample by way of an advanced centrifuge designed to isolate the protein-rich growth factors. As the platelets are being harvested, a topical numbing agent is applied to the face. The PRP serum is then spread over the skin’s surface and a microneedling pen is used to ensure that the PRP fully penetrates the pores.  #### Recovery Following a PRP facial, it is normal for patients to experience some skin tenderness and redness in the face. However, this usually fades away within a few hours. As this treatment is a non-surgical alternative to plastic surgery, patients can quickly resume their normal routines. Results can be seen within a few weeks and will continue to evolve over the course of 6 months. Changes can last up to 18 months with the proper skincare routine. Patients can undergo a PRP facial at least once a year to maintain their fresh new glow. #### I have had the best experience with Dr. Przylecki. I literally couldn't have asked for better.

Book your session today! ## Sofwave™ Non-Surgical Skin Tightening The LaVie Institute is excited to offer Sofwave in Denver, a cutting-edge skin-tightening treatment that can transform your appearance without surgery.

With minimal downtime, you can achieve noticeable improvements in skin texture and tightness, feel more confident in your skin, and embrace a refreshed version of yourself. Don't let loose or sagging skin hold you back - explore the possibilities of non-surgical skin tightening with Sofwave. Contact us today to schedule your consultation and learn more! ### The Science Behind Sofwave Sofwave harnesses the power of Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB) technology. This advanced system delivers ultrasound energy precisely to the mid-dermis layer of your skin, where collagen is produced. The controlled heat generated by the ultrasound waves triggers a natural healing response in your body. As a result, your skin begins to produce new collagen fibers. This process, known as neocollagenesis, helps improve skin texture and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The treatment also causes existing collagen fibers to contract, providing an immediate tightening effect. ### Get Your Glow with Sofwave™ Discover the transformative power of Sofwave™. Non-invasive Skin Lifting & Wrinkle Reduction. ### Benefits of Sofwave Treatment Sofwave offers several advantages for those seeking skin rejuvenation without surgery. This innovative treatment can help you achieve a more youthful appearance with minimal disruption to your daily routine. #### Non-Invasive Approach - Sofwave utilizes ultrasound technology to target the deeper layers of your skin without damaging the surface - You won't need to worry about incisions, stitches, or scars - The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, allowing you to return home immediately after treatment - The non-invasive nature of Sofwave means you can avoid the risks associated with surgical procedures - There's no need for general anesthesia, reducing potential complications - You'll experience less discomfort compared to more aggressive treatments - Sofwave's precision targeting helps preserve your skin's natural appearance while addressing underlying issues - This approach can give you a refreshed look without dramatic changes that might draw unwanted attention #### Short Downtime - One of Sofwave's most appealing features is its minimal recovery period - You can typically resume your normal activities right after the treatment, so there's no need to take time off work or adjust your social calendar - You might experience some mild redness or swelling, but these effects usually subside within a few hours - Unlike more invasive procedures, Sofwave doesn't require lengthy healing times or special aftercare routines - The quick recovery allows you to fit the treatment into your busy schedule; you can even have a Sofwave session during your lunch break and return to work afterward! #### Collagen Stimulation - Sofwave's ultrasound energy penetrates the mid-dermis layer of your skin, where it stimulates collagen production; collagen is crucial for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness - As you age, your body's collagen production naturally decreases, but Sofwave helps counteract this process by encouraging your skin to create new collagen fibers - This boost in collagen can lead to improved skin texture and reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles - The collagen-stimulating effects of Sofwave continue for several months after treatment so that you may notice gradual improvements in your skin's appearance over time - This ongoing process can help you maintain a youthful look for longer periods between treatments ### Am I a Good Candidate? Sofwave is suitable for all skin types and tones. You're an ideal candidate if you have mild to moderate skin laxity. This treatment can effectively address fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin on the face, neck, and anywhere on the body. Keep the following in mind: - If you're concerned about jowls, drooping eyelids, or a less defined jawline, Sofwave might be right for you. The procedure works well for those seeking subtle improvements without drastic changes. - You may also benefit from Sofwave if you have sun-damaged skin or uneven texture. The treatment can help rejuvenate your skin's appearance and promote collagen production. - Sofwave is most effective for individuals in their 30s to 60s. At this age range, you're likely experiencing the early to moderate signs of aging that Sofwave targets. - If you're in your 30s or 40s, the treatment can be an excellent preventative measure. It helps maintain your skin's youthfulness and delay more visible signs of aging. - For those in your 50s and 60s, Sofwave can address existing skin laxity and provide noticeable improvements. You'll see the best results if your skin still has some natural elasticity. Younger individuals may not need this treatment yet, while those over 70 might require more intensive procedures for significant results. ### How to Treat Cellulite and Contour Issues in the Gluteal and Thigh Area ### The Sofwave Procedure #### Preparing for Treatment Before your Sofwave session, you’ll attend a consultation with one of our qualified providers to assess your skin and discuss your goals. We recommend avoiding sun exposure and using certain skincare products on the days leading up to treatment. Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin on the day of your appointment. We may apply a topical numbing cream to enhance your comfort during the procedure. #### What to Expect During the Session One Sofwave treatment typically lasts 30-45 minutes. You'll lie comfortably while the provider moves the device across your skin so the ultrasound energy penetrates to precise depths, leaving the surface unharmed. You may feel warmth or tingling sensations during the procedure, but many patients find it tolerable and even relaxing. Best of all, the device's cooling mechanism helps maintain your comfort throughout the session. #### Post-Treatment Care After your Sofwave treatment, you can resume normal activities immediately. Your skin may appear slightly flushed or feel warm, but these effects usually subside quickly. Apply sunscreen diligently and avoid direct sun exposure for a few days. Stay hydrated and follow any specific aftercare instructions provided by your LaVie practitioner. Results develop gradually as your body produces new collagen. Over the following weeks and months, you may notice improvements in skin texture and tightness. ### Results You Can Look Forward To Sofwave non-surgical skin tightening offers both immediate effects and long-term improvements to your skin's appearance and texture. You can expect gradual enhancements in skin firmness and a more youthful look over time. #### Immediate After your Sofwave treatment, you may notice some initial improvements. Your skin might feel tighter and appear more lifted. Some patients report a subtle "glow" or refreshed look. #### Long-Term The full benefits of Sofwave become more apparent over time. You'll likely see progressive improvements in skin tightness and texture over the next 3-6 months. Results can last up to a year or longer, depending on your age, skin condition, and lifestyle habits. To maintain optimal results, yearly touch-up treatments are recommended.

Unlike temporary creams or gimmicks, Avéli® is FDA-cleared and clinically proven to release the fibrous septa bands... ## Avéli® Smooth out stubborn cellulite dimples with Avéli® — a one-time, FDA-cleared, minimally invasive procedure that offers fast, visible, and long-lasting results. ### Discover Real Results at LaVie Institute As leaders in aesthetic innovation, we’re proud to offer Avéli®, a revolutionary cellulite treatment grounded in anatomy, not guesswork. Unlike temporary creams or gimmicks, Avéli® is FDA-cleared and clinically proven to release the fibrous septa bands beneath the skin that cause cellulite, all in a single in-office procedure. ### What Is Avéli®? Avéli® is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat the root cause of cellulite dimples on the buttocks and thighs — not just mask the symptoms. The treatment works by targeting and releasing the tough, fibrous septa bands that pull the skin down and create visible dimpling. Using a precision-guided, hand-held device, your provider can treat each dimple directly and confirm in real time that the bands have been released. The result? Visibly smoother skin that lasts. ### Avéli® Benefits - Reduces cellulite on the buttocks and thighs - Visibly smoother, firmer skin - Minimally invasive with local anesthetic and minimal downtime - Results still visible at 12 months post-treatment - Boosts body confidence, especially in swimwear or fitted clothing ### Am I a Good Candidate for Avéli®? You may be a great candidate for Avéli® if: - You’re bothered by visible dimples or depressions on your buttocks or thighs - You’re a healthy adult with realistic expectations - You’ve tried topical treatments or other devices without lasting results - You prefer a single-session solution with proven longevity - You’re not currently pregnant or experiencing certain health conditions At LaVie Institute, we begin every treatment journey with a personalized, in-depth consultation. During this one-on-one appointment, your provider will evaluate your skin, cellulite patterns, and goals to determine whether Avéli® is the right fit for you. We take the time to educate you on the treatment, answer every question, and ensure you feel fully informed and confident in your care plan. If you’re a candidate, we’ll build a tailored approach to help you achieve smooth, long-lasting results — starting from the very first step. ### What to Expect During Your Avéli® Procedure The Avéli® procedure is performed in-office using local anesthesia. Here’s how it works: - Preparation: We will numb the treatment area for your comfort. - Guided treatment: Using the Avéli® device, we target specific dimples and identify the septa bands causing them. - Precise release: Each band is carefully released, and the result is verified on the spot. - Same-day return: The procedure typically takes about an hour, and most patients can resume daily activities shortly after. ### Recovery and Results Most patients experience mild soreness, bruising, or tenderness, especially in the first 24–48 hours. These side effects typically resolve within 30 days. Many women return to regular routines within a day or two, and most are back to full activity in about a week. You can expect noticeable improvements as early as 1–3 months post-treatment, with smoother, dimple-free skin that lasts. Clinical studies maintained results for one year without requiring repeat sessions. ### FAQ How is Avéli® different from laser or radiofrequency cellulite treatments? Can Avéli® be combined with other body contouring procedures? Does Avéli® improve skin tone or texture? Will I have visible marks or scars after Avéli®? Are Avéli® results permanent? ### How is Avéli® different from laser or radiofrequency cellulite treatments? Unlike energy-based treatments that heat tissue to stimulate collagen or temporarily tighten the skin, Avéli® physically releases the fibrous bands (septa) responsible for dimples. It’s mechanical and precise — not dependent on heat or surface-level stimulation — and results are visible much sooner. ### Can Avéli® be combined with other body contouring procedures? Yes, many patients choose to pair Avéli® with skin tightening treatments, fat reduction (like CoolSculpting®), or mommy makeovers to achieve more comprehensive results. ### Does Avéli® improve skin tone or texture? While Avéli® targets dimpling caused by septa bands, it does not address skin laxity, crepey skin, or texture irregularities. However, many patients find that the overall improvement in skin smoothness enhances the appearance of tone, especially when combined with complementary treatments. ### Will I have visible marks or scars after Avéli®? No, the procedure involves tiny entry points, typically less than a centimeter in size, which heal discreetly without scarring. These access points are strategically placed and usually fade completely within weeks. ### Are Avéli® results permanent? The released fibrous bands will not grow back, making the results long-lasting.

As with all cosmetic procedures, ideal candidates will be in good physical and mental health with realistic expectations for the outcomes of the procedure. Patients that are dealing with skin issues such as a rash, hives, or pimples may need to postpone their Belotero treatment until their skin has cleared up. ### Our World-Class Practice Setting Clients who visit The LaVie Institute enjoy access to our state-of-the-art 8-room clinic and 2 accredited onsite operating theaters, equipped with among the most advanced technology available.

Visit The LaVie Institute in Denver for more information. ## BOTOX in Denver, CO As signs of aging slowly emerge in the face, one’s self-confidence may plummet. BOTOX addresses bothersome dynamic lines to restore a radiant, youthful countenance with minimal downtime or discomfort. ### Youthful BOTOX Treatment BOTOX is a gold-standard anti-aging treatment that temporarily inactivates the tiny facial muscles responsible for wrinkle-forming contractions. Once these muscles are relaxed, lines and creases smooth out, revealing a more well-rested and revitalized appearance. ### Why Discerning Patients Choose The LaVie Institute of Plastic Surgery While BOTOX injections may seem simple to administer, in reality the treatment requires the precision, artistry, and nuance of a skilled, experienced provider. Our board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeons are detailed-oriented and meticulous in their approach, delivering personalized outcomes that appear natural and unforced.

With time, repetitive facial expressions such as frowning, smiling, laughing, or squinting can leave behind entrenched lines that can make you look older than you feel. BOTOX utilizes a purified protein derived from Botulinum Toxin A to temporarily incapacitate the tiny facial muscles that contract to form wrinkles. The result is a smoother, firmer appearance and a more welcoming facial expression. #### Benefits - Corrects crow’s feet - Erases glabellar lines - Relaxes vertical neck bands - Restores a youthful facial expression - No downtime or discomfort - Results last 3-5 months #### Candidacy - Not allergic to any ingredients in BOTOX - Unhappy with the appearance of dynamic lines - Seeking a non-invasive anti-aging solution - In good overall health - A non-smoker - Realistic expectations ### Your Personalized Consultation At The LaVie Institute, we can formulate an individualized treatment plan to create the vibrant, supple complexion you desire, carefully minimizing lines and wrinkles to reveal a more revitalized appearance.

Our aim is to empower patients with the information and education they need in order to make the best decisions for their ultimate success and wellbeing.  ### Treatment Details BOTOX injections typically take fewer than 30 minutes to perform. The product is administered to relax the facial muscles, smoothing the skin between the brows and around the eyes. The total number of injections required will depend on the extent of your concerns, and some areas of the face will need more product than others in order to produce your desired results. Most patients describe the process as painless, although some will experience soreness, tingling, or temporary numbness at the injection sites. ### After BOTOX BOTOX is considered a no-downtime procedure, and as such, it can be performed over one’s lunch break. Patients are able to immediately resume their normal activities. However, they are advised to refrain from strenuous exercise and heat-based activities (sauna, hot tub, hot showers, tanning) for 24 hours. Patients should also stay upright and not lie down for at least 4 hours. Our team is on hand to answer any questions during your recovery process and ensure your aftercare is stress-free. ### Exclusive Aesthetic Event Hosting We are delighted to introduce exclusive aesthetic event hosting at LaVie Plastic Surgery, designed to provide a luxurious and private experience for you and your guests.

Schedule an appointment at The LaVie Institute in Denver. ## Dysport in Denver, CO As our society becomes increasingly focused on image, signs of aging such as facial lines, wrinkles, and creases may prevent clients from leading fulfilling social lives. Dysport is a leading injectable that can help restore a youthful and vital facial expression without downtime or discomfort.  ### Dysport Overview ### Dysport - Wrinkle Solution A neuromodulator is a type of injectable that works by temporarily freezing muscles in the face that cause facial contractions. This results in smoother skin, leaving the patient with a more rejuvenated appearance. Approved in 2009, Dysport is a leading neuromodulator that has grown in popularity as an alternative to [BOTOX](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/non-surgical/injectables/botox/). It is known for its efficacy at safely mitigating signs of aging without any pain or downtime. ### Why Choose The LaVie Institute of Plastic Surgery? Our four board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeons provide personalized, concierge care in a world-class accredited environment, offering patients a seamless, comfortable, and discreet experience. We listen carefully to each client’s concerns, crafting a one-of-a-kind treatment plan that accomplishes their unique goals for improvement. While Dysport injections are painless and quick, they require the artistry of our expert practitioners in order to guarantee subtle, natural-looking outcomes. ### What is Dysport? Repetitive facial movements such as laughing, frowning, smiling, and squinting can result in the formation of dynamic lines in the brow and around the eyes.  Dysport injections are designed to block nerve activity in the face that causes the contraction of facial muscles. By preventing these muscle contractions, troublesome lines and creases are greatly reduced. After Dysport, the skin relaxes and smoothes out, leaving the patient with a more youthful, engaging appearance. Dysport is known for its efficacy at treating crow’s feet, smile and laugh lines, and glabellar wrinkles. ### What Are The Benefits of Dysport? - Prevents dynamic lines and wrinkles at their source - Aids in keeping new wrinkles from forming - Improves skin texture and tone - Natural-looking results - A popular alternative to BOTOX and Xeomin - Reduces smile lines, glabellar lines, and forehead creases - Corrects crow’s feet - Results can be seen within 2-3 days - Changes can last up to 4 months - Safe, non-invasive, and non-surgical - No downtime or pain - All ages and genders qualify - A cost-effective treatment - Can be well-combined with other procedures - Boosts self-confidence ### Procedure Details The first step in any injection procedure is to assess the patient’s face and determine the best areas for injection. Every patient has their own individual facial contours and deserves an individualized treatment plan.  Dysport is injected into the sub layer of muscles that are responsible for dynamic facial expressions. The exact number of injections that is administered will vary from person to person, depending on their needs.  While patients have the option of receiving a topical anesthetic, most find that they don’t need it, as Dysport is a fast procedure with little discomfort. The entire session usually lasts about 20 minutes. ### What Is The Recovery Process Like? After the injections are administered, it is normal for the face to feel tight. Patients may also notice some minor swelling, bruising, and pain at the points of injection. These effects are only temporary and will dissipate within a few days. Patients will be able to resume their usual schedules right away, whether that involves going back to work, school, or shopping.  ### Am I A Good Candidate? Dysport is designed to address wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging. Good candidates for Dysport are usually 40 years old or over and are looking for a non-invasive solution with little-to-no downtime so they can return to their busy schedules right away. Patients who have been unsatisfied with their BOTOX results may consider Dysport. As with any procedure, physical and mental health is a top priority when it comes to candidacy. Patients should have realistic expectations for their outcomes, discussed in depth during their private consultations.  ### Exclusive Aesthetic Event Hosting We are delighted to introduce exclusive aesthetic event hosting at LaVie Plastic Surgery, designed to provide a luxurious and private experience for you and your guests.

Sculptra is an injectable formulated with poly-L-lactic acid, a compound slowly absorbed by the body to rebuild collagen reserves over time. Poly-L-lactic acid has been used safely in the form of dissolvable sutures for decades and has been an aesthetic staple since 1999. With the aging process, collagen supplies are slowly diminished, leaving behind hollow-looking contours as well as lines, creases, and folds. Once collagen has been restored, the complexion appears fuller and more supple, with a youthful structural foundation.  #### Advantages of Sculptra - Reduces nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and chin wrinkles - Reinvigorates collagen production - FDA-approved, safe, and effective - Appropriate for those with skin allergies - No downtime or discomfort - Non-invasive and non-surgical - Results can last up to 24 months - Creates a more youthful, inviting appearance ### FAQ When can I see results after my Sculptra treatment? How can I prepare for Sculptra? ### When can I see results after my Sculptra treatment? Because Sculptra works by replenishing collagen, results appear gradually over time rather than instantly. Patients can see improvements within about one month, with results continuing to evolve over the course of 4-6 months. Changes last up to 2 years or sometimes longer. ### How can I prepare for Sculptra? Sculptra does not require allergy testing. However, prior to their injections, patients should avoid aspirin, Vitamin E, and other blood thinning medications, as these can increase bruising. ### How Are Sculptra Injections Performed? Treatment with Sculptra typically takes 20-30 minutes to complete. The skin is marked with a surgical pen to indicate the precise points of entry and a topical anesthetic is applied to enhance comfort.  Sculptra is injected deeper than other fillers in order to trigger collagen regeneration over time. Once the injections are over, the skin is then gently massaged to ensure the product is evenly distributed. In order to maintain your results, you may need to undergo multiple sessions with Sculptra, spaced two weeks apart. Most clients can expect that 2-7 Sculptra appointments will achieve their goals. #### Who Is a Good Candidate for Sculptra? Patients concerned with volume loss in the cheeks, temples, or chin areas will find Sculptra to be beneficial and rewarding. The injectable can also be used in other areas as well, such as the neck, knees, buttocks, and décolletage area. As with any cosmetic endeavor, clients should be healthy non-smokers with realistic expectations. We will conduct a thorough consultation and skin analysis to ensure that Sculptra is a match for your goals. #### Recovery Sculptra is non-invasive and non-surgical, so there is no downtime or recovery to speak of. Some patients may experience mild swelling, bruising, or tingling at the injection sites, but these side effects are no more bothersome than a minor sunburn. They typically abate within a few hours or by the end of the day. An ice pack can be used to alleviate any discomfort. --- ## Skincare URL: https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/non-surgical/skincare/ Description: View our skincare options at The LaVie Institute in Denver.

This cutting-edge system takes photos of the complexion and analyzes them using cross-polarized light to detect the skin’s deeper layers and create highly customized treatment plans. ### Custom Skincare Assessment VISIA offers in-depth analysis of each patient’s unique facial characteristics and skin quality in order to create a detailed and personalized plan for resolving their aesthetic concerns. The technology assesses the skin’s strengths and weaknesses, investigating pore size, pigmentation, and porphyrins. It can scan UV marks, sun damage, wrinkles, and other imperfections to allow for a customized skincare regimen and progress tracking over time. ### Patient Testimonial - Skin Analysis ### Why Choose The LaVie Institute of Plastic Surgery? From the artistry and expertise of our board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeons to our stunning 8-room clinic and 2 onsite accredited operating theaters, The LaVie Institute provides patients with concierge care and access to among the most advanced technologies currently available.  We are pleased to offer VISIA skin analysis as part of our ongoing commitment to remaining ahead of the curve when it comes to innovative treatment options. We understand that each patient is on a unique life journey and it is our aim to empower them with world-class solutions in the pursuit of manifesting their aesthetic visions. ### What is VISIA Skin Analysis? VISIA captures views from the left, right, and front of the face, providing a well-rounded impression of the complexion. The initial analysis becomes the baseline for each patient’s progress over the course of their treatment. With computerized images, the client can see for themselves the benefits of their skincare regimen and how their complexion is improving over time. After VISIA, patient can enjoy: - Improved identification of red and brown spots - Enhanced visualization of UV damage  - Precise detection of wrinkles and fine lines - Magnified assessment of skin texture irregularities - Knowledge of skin age in relation to chronological age - Carefully tracked progress over time ### Who is an Ideal Candidate for VISIA? Ideal candidates for VISIA are seeking personalized skin rejuvenation based on their unique characteristics and goals. They wish to identify their skin quality, tone, texture, and pigmentation issues and accurately compare the results of each treatment they undergo over time. VISIA can benefit every client by providing them with the incentive to adhere to their skincare regimen. ### What Skin Attributes Can Be Identified With VISIA? #### Spots VISIA can identify red or brown spots distinguished from the baseline skin tone. These spots can indicate sun damage, freckles, hyperpigmentation, or melasma, allowing your skincare treatment plan to be customized accordingly. #### Wrinkles and Lines VISIA assesses lines, creases, and wrinkles, as well as deep furrows and folds. This process shows the extent of the decrease in skin elasticity as a result of the normal aging process, sun damage, and environmental factors. #### The Condition of the Pores VISIA can help detect clogged or enlarged pores that compromise the complexion. The technology can help affirm the patient’s skincare regimen, showing the change in pore size, color, and quality over time. #### Texture Irregularities VISIA can identify depressed and raised regions of the face in order to provide a map of the patient’s skin texture. Over the course of skin rejuvenation treatments such as laser therapy and microneedling, the client can visualize enhanced smoothness and vitality. #### UV Damage With VISIA, photodamage undetectable with natural light can be visualized. UV spots form when melanin builds up beneath the skin in response to the sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays. VISIA can help the patient to keep track of their skincare progress. #### Redness VISIA can indicate inflammation, acne, psoriasis, rosacea, or seborrhea, as well as telangiectasias, or a series of small veins on the skin’s surface. With this detailed information, your skincare provider can better customize your treatment plan. ### Preparing forVISIA Skin Analysis Patients should wash their faces one hour before their sessions with a normal cleanser without overdoing it. They should wear dark clothing and leave their facial jewelry at home. Monthly follow-up appointments are recommended with VISIA in order to customize the skincare regimen and make sure clients are getting the most out of their suggested medical-grade skincare line. --- ## Skin Rejuvenation URL: https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/non-surgical/skincare/skin-rejuvenation/ Description: Our skin is a calling card to the world and is the first thing that others may notice about our appearance.

This translates to the highest standards of safety, a comfortable, swift patient experience, and an outcome that exceeds expectations. ### What is Skin Rejuvenation? Over the years, the skin is impacted by a variety of environmental factors, including the sun’s harmful UV rays. In addition, the body’s core youth-enhancing compounds, such as hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin are slowly being depleted, resulting in wrinkles, lines, sagging, and volume loss. A patient may also be dealing with skin imperfections that are unique to their complexions, such as enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation, or rosacea.  Skin rejuvenation can address a wide range of aesthetic concerns, restoring a more radiant, inviting countenance. Some modalities work by removing the outer damaged skin layers, while others help to boost collagen production, rejuvenating the complexion from within. During your private consultation, our team will create the ideal skincare regimen for you, performing a detailed skin analysis and review of your medical history. We may combine skin rejuvenation treatments to provide comprehensive improvement. ### What Skin Rejuvenation Treatments Are Offered at The LaVie Institute? #### Chemical Peels Chemical peels work by exfoliating the outermost layers of damaged skin to reveal a more pristine and glowing complexion. Peels are formulated as mild, medium, and deep to address a wide range of ailments and texture irregularities. #### IPL Photofacial IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. Unlike laser treatments, IPL delivers multiple wavelengths of light to root out skin inconsistencies. It is ideal for treating a wide range of conditions, including acne, stretch marks, dark spots, hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, rosacea, spider veins, and more. #### Ablative Laser An ablative laser delivers intense light energy to the surface of the skin, clearing away debris, dirt, oil, sun damage, and other imperfections. The treatment also triggers collagen regeneration, helping to smooth away lines, wrinkles, and creases from the inside out. The new skin that forms is tighter, firmer, and more youthful. #### Microneedling During microneedling, a series of fine needles are used to penetrate the skin, triggering the skin’s natural self-healing mechanism of collagen regeneration. Collagen is a key protein that hydrates, smooths, and firms the complexion from within. Microneedling can be combined with RF energy or PRP to enhance results. #### Microdermabrasion Microdermabrasion utilizes a minimally invasive handheld instrument to gently exfoliate the skin, removing the damaged, uneven outer layer. The treatment is ideal for addressing discoloration, enlarged pores, lines and wrinkles, acne, sun damage, light scarring, and stretch marks. The microdermabrasion process can also help offset the loss of collagen, a vital protein that helps build a strong, vital skin scaffolding. #### Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) PRP contains vital growth factors that help treat a range of aesthetic concerns, including the signs of aging and hair loss. A Vampire Facial involves PRP delivered to the skin as part of a microneedling session, which combats superficial imperfections in the short run while ensuring longer-term collagen renewal.  ### Who is an Ideal Candidate for Skin Rejuvenation? Clients dealing with the onset of the signs of aging who are not ready for invasive surgery make excellent candidates for skin rejuvenation techniques. Naturally,  these modalities can be combined with any surgical procedure to enhance results and combat additional concerns, such as volume loss or hyperpigmentation after a facelift, neck lift, or blepharoplasty.  The best way to determine your candidacy is to meet with our caring team for a private consultation. We will use this time to investigate all of your complexion issues, devising a complete treatment plan that meets your needs and that will lead to a successful, long-lasting outcome. Because many skin rejuvenation treatments are minimally invasive, patients may require multiple sessions to achieve their unique goals. --- ## Skin Care Philosophy URL: https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/non-surgical/skincare/skincare-philosophy/ Description: The LaVie Institute offers high-quality, clinical-grade skincare solutions, carefully curated to reflect each patient’s individual needs. ## Skincare Philosophy in Denver, CO The LaVie Institute offers high-quality, clinical-grade skincare solutions, carefully curated to reflect each patient’s individual needs. ### Reviving Skin Wellness The skin is among the body’s most precious assets.

It is a highly personalized wellness and longevity strategy designed to help you feel more like yourself again with better energy, improved mental clarity, stronger overall vitality, and a renewed sense of balance. Hormone optimization is considered a foundational component of long-term health, supporting how your body performs today while helping to preserve wellness over time. Led by [Manpreet K. Budhan, MSN, AGPCNP-BC](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/about/our-team/manpreet-k-budhan/), our program reflects a thoughtful, prevention-focused philosophy that aligns advanced hormone care with whole-body wellness. For patients in Lone Tree, Denver, Highlands Ranch, Centennial, Parker, Castle Pines, Greenwood Village, Cherry Hills Village, and the Park Meadows area, The LaVie Institute offers an elevated setting where science, personalization, and long-term well-being come together. ### What is Hormone Replacement Therapy? Hormone replacement therapy, more specifically bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), is a treatment designed to address symptoms caused by declining or imbalanced hormone levels. Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to those naturally produced by your body, allowing for a more natural and precise approach to restoring balance. Hormonal shifts can affect both women and men, often contributing to fatigue, mood changes, poor sleep, low libido, brain fog, weight changes, and a general sense that your body is no longer functioning optimally. At The LaVie Institute, hormone therapy is personalized rather than standardized. After careful evaluation and testing, treatment may be recommended to help restore balanced hormone levels and support how you feel day to day. Depending on your needs, your plan may include bioidentical hormone therapy delivered through pellets, creams, injections, or oral options, along with supportive supplements and peptides as part of a broader wellness program. ### Benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy When hormones are optimized with a customized treatment plan, many patients notice meaningful improvements in both everyday function and long-term wellness. When paired with supportive lifestyle modifications such as proper nutrition, regular exercise, and stress management, results are often more sustainable and impactful. Potential benefits of hormone replacement therapy may include: - Increased energy and stamina - Improved mental clarity and focus - Enhanced mood and emotional balance - Better sleep quality - Increased libido and sexual wellness - Support for metabolism and body composition - Reduced symptoms associated with hormonal imbalance - Greater overall vitality and long-term wellness support ### Am I a Good Candidate for Hormone Replacement Therapy? You may be a good candidate for hormone replacement therapy in Lone Tree if you are experiencing symptoms associated with hormonal imbalance or decline. Many patients seek treatment when they feel persistently fatigued, mentally foggy, emotionally off balance, or frustrated by unexplained changes in sleep, weight, or libido. Ideal candidates are often looking for a more comprehensive, personalized approach to wellness rather than a one-size-fits-all solution. During your consultation, Manpreet will evaluate your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, and lab results to determine whether hormone therapy is appropriate and which approach aligns best with your goals. ### What to Expect During Hormone Replacement Therapy Your experience begins with a detailed consultation focused on understanding how you feel, what symptoms you are experiencing, and what you hope to achieve. This is paired with comprehensive hormone testing to identify specific imbalances or deficiencies. Once your results are reviewed, a customized treatment plan is created. Depending on your needs, therapy may include hormone pellets for steady, consistent delivery, topical creams, injections, or oral options.

Contact us today to book your consultation and learn more. ### IV Therapy in Denver at The LaVie Institute When you’re searching for IV Therapy in Denver, choosing a medically supervised environment matters. At The LaVie Institute, IV Therapy is delivered in a state-of-the-art clinical setting by licensed medical professionals, under the guidance of board-certified surgeons. Conveniently located in Lone Tree, just south of Denver, our wellness center serves patients from across the Denver metro area, including Highlands Ranch, Centennial, Greenwood Village, Parker, and surrounding communities. Whether you’re seeking hydration, immune support, enhanced recovery, or proactive wellness care, our IV Therapy programs are designed with safety, precision, and personalization in mind. Unlike mobile IV services or non-medical wellness lounges, our infusions are administered with careful health screening, medical oversight, and evidence-based formulations—so you can feel confident in both your care and your results. ### IV Therapy Basics Unlike oral supplements, IV Therapy provides near-instant nutrient absorption by directly delivering fluids, vitamins, minerals, and medications into the bloodstream—bypassing the digestive system altogether. This results in higher bioavailability and more efficient nutrient utilization, ensuring your body quickly receives what it needs to replenish, restore, and recharge. From a scientific standpoint, IV delivery also avoids the “first-pass effect,” in which some of the potency in oral supplements can be lost or diminished in the liver and gastrointestinal tract. With IV infusions, your body immediately benefits from key nutrients that aid everything from metabolic function and cellular repair to hormone regulation and immune support. ### What is IV Therapy Commonly Used For? #### Hydration - Proper hydration is essential for almost every physiological process in the human body, from regulating body temperature to lubricating joints - IV Therapy can quickly restore fluid levels, aiding in nutrient transport, improving circulation, and even supporting healthy organ function - Adequate hydration also plays a critical role in skin health and overall energy levels, helping you look and feel more refreshed #### Immune Support - Your immune system is your body’s first line of defense against illness and infection - Targeted IV Therapy protocols can include immune-strengthening antioxidants, vitamin C, and other micronutrients proven to enhance the production of white blood cells and bolster overall immune function - By reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, IV infusions can help you bounce back more quickly from ailments and maintain a healthier, more resilient immune response #### Weight Loss & Detox - Flushing out toxins is critical when you’re trying to lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle - IV infusions can include amino acids like L-carnitine, which help transport fatty acids into the cells for energy production, and glutathione to support detoxification processes - Combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise, these specialized IV formulas can optimize metabolism, curb cravings, and assist in shedding unwanted pounds #### Aesthetic & Anti-Aging - Radiant skin, strong hair, and reduced signs of aging often come from within - IV Therapy protocols focused on aesthetics typically include ingredients like vitamin C and collagen-supporting amino acids that help maintain skin elasticity and promote healthy tissue repair - By delivering these nutrients systemically, the body can more effectively replenish and rejuvenate cells, leading to a clearer complexion, improved skin tone, and a youthful glow #### Nutrient Boosts - IV infusions deliver a concentrated blend of vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream, ensuring maximum absorption and utilization - This nutrient-rich boost can enhance cellular activity, supporting everything from hair growth and muscle repair to cognitive function and mood regulation #### Energy & Performance - IV Therapy can help recharge your energy stores by delivering electrolytes and B-complex vitamins that play a pivotal role in energy metabolism - This boost not only helps combat fatigue and muscle cramps but can also improve physical performance, endurance, and mental clarity—making it popular among athletes and busy professionals alike ### How IV Therapy Helps with Anti-Aging Collagen support, antioxidants ### IV Therapy Treatments Available in Denver At The LaVie Institute, IV Therapy is never one-size-fits-all.

Our expert team supports you every step of the way, providing coaching, progress tracking, and motivation for long-term success. Start your transformation today! ### What Are Semaglutide and Tirzepatide?  Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are breakthrough injectable medications that promote weight loss by mimicking hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. Originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes, these medications have been shown to help patients achieve significant, sustainable weight loss when combined with a healthy lifestyle. By controlling hunger signals and promoting a feeling of fullness, Semaglutide, and Tirzepatide can make it easier to maintain a calorie deficit and shed excess weight. ### What Are the Benefits of Semaglutide & Tirzepatide? These injectable treatments offer a range of benefits beyond just weight loss. Both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide work with your body’s natural hormones to improve overall health and well-being. Benefits include:   - Significant, sustainable weight loss   - Reduced appetite and food cravings   - Improved blood sugar regulation   - Enhanced metabolism and fat loss   - Long-term support for healthy lifestyle changes   ### Schedule a Consultation [Contact Us](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/contact/) ### What Can Semaglutide and Tirzepatide Do for Me?   These treatments can be life-changing for individuals struggling with their weight. Whether you’ve hit a plateau in your weight loss journey or need extra support in controlling cravings, Semaglutide and Tirzepatide offer a scientifically proven method to help you reach your goals. Patients often notice a reduction in hunger and more consistent weight loss without feeling deprived. ### Who Is a Good Candidate for Semaglutide & Tirzepatide? These treatments are ideal for individuals who have struggled to achieve or maintain weight loss through diet and exercise alone. If you have a BMI of 27 or higher and are looking for additional support in reaching your weight loss goals, you may be a good candidate for Semaglutide or Tirzepatide Ideal candidates:   - Have a BMI of 27 or higher   - Struggle with food cravings or overeating   - Are looking for non-surgical weight loss options   - Are committed to long-term lifestyle changes   - Are in good overall health  ### How Do Semaglutide and Tirzepatide Work?  Semaglutide and Tirzepatide mimic the hormones GLP-1 and GIP, which regulate blood sugar levels and appetite. By stimulating these hormones, the medications slow gastric emptying, increase insulin sensitivity, and suppress hunger signals. The result is a feeling of fullness after smaller meals, which helps control calorie intake and promotes weight loss. ### Recovery and Results   Because Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are non-surgical treatments, there is no downtime. You can return to your normal activities immediately after each injection. Patients typically experience steady weight loss over the course of their treatment, with significant results becoming noticeable within 3 to 6 months.

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is one such breakthrough treatment—a coenzyme that fuels energy production, supports DNA repair, and promotes anti-aging processes at a cellular level. ### Revitalize Your Body from the Inside Out At the LaVie Institute, our team of double-board-certified surgeons and specialized medical professionals harness decades of combined experience to deliver clinically validated treatments that truly revitalize your body from the inside out. Our commitment to ongoing research, adherence to rigorous safety standards, and dedication to transparent patient education reflect our unwavering goal of earning your trust. [Book your consultation with us today](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/contact/cosmetic-form/)! ### What Is NAD+? NAD+ is a naturally occurring molecule found in every cell of the body, playing a critical role in metabolism, DNA repair, and overall cellular function. However, NAD+ levels decline with age, stress, and various lifestyle factors—potentially leading to reduced energy, premature skin aging, and a general dip in vitality. By replenishing NAD+ levels through targeted infusions, our clients often experience renewed energy, improved mental clarity, and a healthier, more youthful appearance. ### How NAD+ Benefits Beauty & Glowing Skin - Cellular Repair & Anti-Aging: NAD+ therapy can help reduce the visibility of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging by boosting the body’s natural regenerative processes. - Increases Collagen Production: Collagen is key to maintaining firm, supple skin. NAD+ infusions promote collagen synthesis, improving elasticity for a tighter, more youthful look. - Deep Hydration & Radiance: By enhancing cellular hydration and nutrient utilization, NAD+ helps impart a luminous “glow from within,” leaving skin visibly refreshed. - Fights Oxidative Stress: Free radicals are a primary cause of dullness and damage. NAD+ combats oxidative stress, preserving a brighter, healthier complexion. - Boosts Energy & Detoxification: Optimized mitochondrial function supports the body’s natural detox pathways, contributing to vibrant skin tone and a sense of rejuvenation. - Supports Hair & Nail Health: NAD+ aids keratin production, fortifying hair and nails for a more polished, healthy appearance. ### Beyond Aesthetics: Improve Your Overall Vitality While NAD+ therapy is highly regarded for its powerful impact on skin, hair, and nails, its benefits extend far beyond beauty alone. Clients report better energy levels, mental clarity, workout performance, and even mood.  Whether you’re pursuing a comprehensive anti-aging plan or simply looking for a natural wellness boost, NAD+ can be an invaluable addition to your self-care regimen. ### A Personalized, Luxury Experience At the LaVie Institute, we understand that each patient’s goals, lifestyle, and health history are unique. Our skilled team of double-board-certified surgeons and medical professionals carefully tailors every NAD+ infusion to deliver optimal results. We combine state-of-the-art science with the comforts of our luxurious, patient-centric facility, ensuring a pleasant and relaxing treatment process. ### Dr. Lily Daniali Dr. Lily Daniali is a board-certified Plastic Surgeon and Hand Surgeon who goes above and beyond for her patients, as evidenced by hundreds of genuinely glowing reviews from past clients.

How often should I schedule NAD+ therapy sessions to maintain results? Can NAD+ therapy help with stress management and emotional well-being? Is NAD+ therapy safe for individuals with chronic conditions? How quickly will I notice changes in my energy or appearance? ### How does NAD+ therapy differ from standard vitamin infusions? NAD+ therapy targets cellular metabolism and DNA repair more specifically than standard vitamin infusions, which typically focus on supplementing essential micronutrients. NAD+ infusions elevate the coenzyme directly responsible for fueling your cells’ energy pathways, often leading to more pronounced benefits in terms of mental clarity, anti-aging, and overall vitality. ### How often should I schedule NAD+ therapy sessions to maintain results? Frequency depends on individual factors such as age, lifestyle, and specific goals. Many clients opt for a series of infusions over a few weeks to kick-start their results, followed by monthly or bi-monthly maintenance sessions. ### Can NAD+ therapy help with stress management and emotional well-being? While NAD+ isn’t a replacement for mental health care, some clients report feeling less stressed and more balanced after therapy. By boosting cellular energy and supporting healthier metabolic function, NAD+ infusions may also help stabilize mood and promote general well-being. ### Is NAD+ therapy safe for individuals with chronic conditions? NAD+ therapy can benefit many people, including those with certain chronic issues, but every situation is unique. A comprehensive review of your medical history and current medications is essential to ensure that NAD+ therapy is both safe and effective for your specific condition. ### How quickly will I notice changes in my energy or appearance? Many patients experience increased mental clarity or energy shortly after their first session. Visible changes in the skin, hair, or nail health may take a few weeks to become evident, as these improvements often depend on the body’s natural growth and renewal cycles. ### Ready to Restore Your Glow and Revitalize Your Body From Within?

Schedule a consultation with The LaVie Institute in Denver to see what procedures are available for you. ## Non-Binary Surgery in Denver, CO Individuals who do not identify specifically as male or female tend to have difficulty feeling comfortable in their own skin. What they see in the mirror might not correctly reflect how they feel inside, leading to a condition known as gender dysphoria. Our non-binary surgery in Denver is able to help these patients find relief by creating redefining changes in the body.  ### Gender-Identity Affirming Non-binary is only one of many terms that are used to describe patients who have a gender identity that is not male or female but is situated somewhere between or separate from both genders. Beyond the non-binary label, these individuals may refer to themselves as genderqueer, agender (not having a gender), bigender, etc. While each of these terms has its own unique meaning, they all encompass a common experience of a gender identity that does not sit within the male and female binary. Our non-binary surgery in Denver is designed to give non-binary individuals the ability to attain the body that best suits their identity.  ### Why Choose The LaVie Institute of Plastic Surgery? At The LaVie Institute, we understand that each client is on a unique life journey toward achieving their ideal self-image and fulfilling their individual aesthetic vision. Our team of four board-certified, Fellowship-trained plastic and reconstructive surgeons offers comprehensive, patient-centric care in an immaculate environment, fully accredited and equipped with among the most advanced technology currently on the market. Patients enjoy access to our 8-room clinic and 2 onsite operating theaters. Every aspect of our facility is carefully engineered with client comfort, discretion, and safety in mind. #### What Are Non-Binary Procedures? The procedures involved in meeting patients’ goals usually consist of variations to the common top surgery, breast augmentation, facial, and bottom surgery methods. Each procedure is designed to address a different issue in the body, depending on the patient’s individual needs.  #### Who is a Candidate? As with any cosmetic and/or surgical protocol, it is important that patients be in good physical and mental health. With certain procedures, it is required that patients be on HRT beforehand. Some come with other prerequisite treatments, which can be discussed during the private consultation.  ### What Are the Benefits of Non-Binary Procedures? - Helps patients achieve anatomical changes that reduce dysphoria - Creates an aesthetic in the chest and facial region with an appearance that matches individualized goals - Helps the patient connect with others in a way that feels authentic to them - Gives the patient more wardrobe options that are in line with their identity - Gives the patient a boost in self-confidence  ### Non-Binary Procedures for the Face It is common for patients to feel that their face is too masculine or feminine. There are a wide variety of both surgical and non-surgical procedures available that can shift the contours of the face, leaving the patient with an aesthetic that is closer to how they feel inside.  Some examples of non-binary facial procedures include:  - Rhinoplasty - Brow lift  - Chin and cheek augmentation - Lip augmentation - Foreheadplasty - Jaw reduction - Tracheal reduction - Facelift - Eyelid lift - Fat grafting - TG hair restoration ### Non-Binary Procedures for the Body #### Chest Contouring When it comes to the chest, every patient has different needs. Some individuals feel that they want to have their breasts removed, while others may want to continue having them or experience them for the first time. As such, chest surgery for non-binary patients can involve a mastectomy (breast removal), a breast reduction, or changes in the size and placement of nipples. Other patients may want to feminize their chest using breast implants.  #### Metoidioplasty and Phalloplasty Both metoidioplasty and phalloplasty aim to create a penis in patients that do not have one. The primary difference between these procedures is in the methods used. Metoidioplasty consists of cutting ligaments around the clitoris, freeing it from the pubis so that it can be used to create the penis. Phalloplasty, on the other hand, involves harvesting ‘flaps’ of skin from other regions of the body in order to create a penis and urethra. Patients seeking out these procedures must already be on HRT.  #### Vulvoplasty/Zero-Depth Vaginoplasty  Vulvoplasty is a gender-affirming surgical procedure that removes the penis, scrotum, and testes and creates the vulva. The main difference between a vulvoplasty and a vaginoplasty is that a vaginoplasty creates a vaginal canal while a vulvoplasty does not. Vaginoplasty typically requires preoperative hair removal, while vulvoplasty does not.  #### Genital Nullification/Nullo  These procedures involve removing all external genitalia, creating a smooth texture in the groin area. Patients that are born with a uterus will need to undergo a hysterectomy prior to receiving genital nullification.  ### Recovery As every patient will have their own unique treatment plan, the recovery period will vary depending on the treatments performed. More information about this can be gleaned during the private consultation.  --- ## Transfeminine Procedures Denver URL: https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/gender-affirmation-na/transfeminine-procedures-na/ Description: Browse the transfeminine procedures offered by The LaVie Institute in Denver. _No published content in this export yet._ --- ## Facial Feminization Denver URL: https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/gender-affirmation-na/transfeminine-procedures-na/facial-feminization-na/ Description: The face is, without a doubt, one of the most important aspects of the human body.

This process can be intimidating and emotionally exhausting. Facial feminization surgery helps trans women to attain a more feminine facial appearance that better reflects their self-image and helps them move forward in their transition process.  ### FFS for Transition The face is, without a doubt, one of the most important aspects of the human body. It gives others an idea of who we are and what we feel. The nose, eyes, ears, and mouth all play a vital role in establishing connections with others. More relevantly, the features are the determining factor in whether people perceive us as a man, a woman, or a non-binary person. Since its inception, facial feminization surgery (FFS) has been considered an integral part of the male-to-female transition process.  ### Why Choose The LaVie Institute? At The LaVie Institute, our four board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeons draw upon their extensive training, skill, knowledge, and artistry to ensure elegant, personalized results that achieve each client’s unique vision for their transformation. Procedures are performed in our immaculate, accredited practice setting, home to a state-of-the-art 8-room clinic as well as 2 onsite operating theaters equipped with best-in-class technology. Our comprehensive, patient-centric approach consistently exceeds patient expectations, offering enhanced self-confidence and an elevated quality of life. ### What is Facial Feminization Surgery? Facial feminization consists of a group of procedures designed to redefine the facial structure and features, giving the patient a more feminine aesthetic. While many patients rely on hormone therapy as a means of shifting the features, HRT is usually not enough to achieve dramatic gender-affirming changes on its own.  ### What Procedures Are Included With FFS? #### Hairline Advancement Even in non-balding men, the male hairline typically has an M shape that is characterized by recession at the temples, with the central tuft of hair curving forward. Women usually have more of an oval-shaped hairline instead of this M pattern. A hairline advancement procedure can make the hairline more oval, reducing signs of lateral receding. It is sometimes referred to as scalp advancement or hairline lowering.  #### Frontal Sinus Setback The female face usually has a softer appearance due to its higher brow and slightly pushed-back forehead. These features give a woman’s eyes a brighter, more inviting aesthetic. With a frontal sinus setback procedure, the supporting wall of the frontal sinus is repositioned to sit in a more feminine way, affecting all the features of the face, including the forehead and cheekbones. #### Forehead Contouring A masculine forehead is usually considered to be more prominent than its feminine counterpart, as it is defined by its wider shape and heavy brow area. Forehead contouring is designed to reduce these attributes, leading to enhanced femininity of the overall facial structure. The aim of this treatment is to provide the patient with a smoother, flatter forehead and is often combined with other procedures, such as a hairline restoration or brow lift, to elicit the best results possible.  #### Rhinoplasty Feminizing rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job, is designed to reduce the size or width of the nose while contouring its shape to create a more feminine look. This technique involves reshaping and repositioning the nasal cartilage and bone. The procedure will refine the profile, enhancing self-confidence and drawing the gaze more to the eyes and the smile. Rhinoplasty also has a side benefit of improving the internal nasal structure, optimizing breathing. #### Lip Augmentation In male-assigned individuals, the upper lip tends to be narrow, with a lot of space between the lip and the nose. In order to address feelings of dysphoria associated with the shape of the lips, a lip lift can be performed to create a fuller look in the upper lip, giving the patient a more pronounced pout. This technique involves making an incision under the nose, allowing for the removal of skin between the nose and upper lip. ### The Facial Feminization Procedure In most cases, patients opt to undergo all of the facial feminization procedures at once. However, some choose to have them performed in two phases (upper face and lower face). When carried out simultaneously, your facial feminization surgery typically lasts anywhere from 4 to 8 hours. Generally speaking, patients who receive a facial feminization treatment will remain overnight in the hospital and will be able to go home the next day.  FFS procedures usually include a brow lift with scalp advancement, nose reshaping, blepharoplasty, a tracheal shave, lip lift, lip and cheek implants, cheek softening, and face/neck lift. These procedures collectively help the patient attain an appearance that is in perfect harmony with how she feels on the inside, improving her self-esteem and giving her more confidence when going out into the world.   ### What Are the Benefits of Facial Feminization? - Improved quality of life - Feminized cephalometrics - Softer, more refined facial contours - Arched brows - Fuller lips - A softer, more appealing nose - Increased feeling of authenticity ### Who is a Candidate? Facial feminization surgery is a viable option for patients who:  - Have been clinically diagnosed with gender dysphoria over a long period of time - Have already been living as a member of the desired gender for some time - Are at least 18 years old or over - Are in good physical and mental health and have realistic expectations for the outcome of the procedure Patients that display significant medical or mental health issues need to have a management protocol in place.  ### Recovery Recovery from your facial feminization in Denver can take as long as a full year, but most patients will feel better in the first 3 or 4 weeks. The majority of the healing occurs within the first 2 to 6 weeks after the surgery, and swelling dissipates starting from the forehead down to the chin.  Patients are usually able to keep social commitments and get back to work within 2 weeks following the surgery. The length of recovery time will vary depending on the patient and their overall health, medical history, and the surgical treatments they have chosen to receive. --- ## MTF Top Surgery Denver URL: https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/gender-affirmation-na/transfeminine-procedures-na/mtf-top-surgery-na/ Description: Across all cultures, breasts are considered to be a defining element of a feminine physique. While transgender patients can experience remarkable changes through hormone replacement therapy, HRT alone usually cannot achieve the breast size and shape that the patient desires. Male... ## MTF Top Surgery in Denver, CO For transgender patients, top surgery is considered one of the most vital steps in the gender affirmation process. Innovative surgical techniques are now available for our MTF top surgery in Denver that can aid patients in achieving an aesthetic aligned with their authentic expression, alleviating gender dysphoria. ### Feminizing Top Surgery Across all cultures, breasts are considered to be a defining element of a feminine physique. While transgender patients can experience remarkable changes through hormone replacement therapy, HRT alone usually cannot achieve the breast size and shape that the patient desires. Male-to-female (MTF) top surgery (transgender breast augmentation) can give the chest a more feminine aesthetic through the use of customized implants. ### Why Choose The LaVie Institute of Plastic Surgery? At The LaVie Institute, we understand that each patient is on a unique life journey. It is our mission to empower the client with the elegant, natural-looking results they seek, fulfilling their aesthetic vision so that they might live their best lives, driven by confidence and security. Our four board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeons offer personalized, concierge care in an accredited, safety-oriented environment customized for patient comfort, convenience, and renewal. Our state-of-the-art 8-room clinic and 2 onsite operating theaters provide access to cutting-edge technology, resulting in superior outcomes. To exceed expectations, we provide a comprehensive and patient-centric approach from start to finish. ### What Is MTF Top Surgery? Breast augmentation, otherwise known as chest feminization or top surgery, is an effective option for transwomen who wish to achieve a more feminine-looking upper body. While hormone replacement therapy can help achieve modest changes, it is usually not sufficient enough to attain the aesthetic desired by most MTF patients. Our MTF top surgery in Denver can not only enhance wardrobe options but can also elevate quality of life and self-confidence. During a breast augmentation, the contours of the chest are redefined and enhanced using saline or silicone breast implants. The size and shape of these devices can be customized based on individual aesthetic taste. The overall objective of the operation is to make the patient feel more comfortable and at ease in their body, allowing them to present the most authentic version of themselves to society.  ### Your Detailed Consultation Process During the consultation, your surgeon will perform a detailed physical evaluation as well as an in-depth review of your medical history. A carefully curated treatment plan is then created based on your goals and concerns. You will make decisions regarding the following: - The cup size of the implants - The material of the implants (silicone or saline) - The pattern of incisions - Where the implant is placed (either behind or in front of the pec muscles) - The addition or alternative technique of autologous fat grafting #### What Are the Benefits? - Greater congruence between inner and outer self - A boost in self-confidence  - An expanded wardrobe  - A more feminine silhouette - Long-lasting results - Improved intimate life #### Who Is an Ideal Candidate? Good candidates will have a letter of support from a certified mental health professional that confirms the patient’s desire to receive a breast augmentation. Ideal candidates are at least 18 years old, are currently on HRT, and have been living as a woman for at least one year. As with all surgeries, it is vital that prospective top surgery patients be non-smokers, in good mental and physical health, and have pragmatic expectations for the results of their procedure.  ### How is MTF Top Surgery Performed? #### Implant Breast Augmentation Implant augmentation is the most common type of top surgery for MTF patients and involves the placement of silicone, saline, or Gummy Bear implants. Patients decide on the implant size, shape, and texture, as well as incision patterns and the location of the implant capsule. Our team will help you to achieve your ideal physique so you can enjoy all your favorite tops, swimsuits, and eveningwear. #### Staged Breast Augmentation For some patients, breast augmentation will need to be staged in order to ensure the skin can adequately house the implants. Tissue expanders are devices that help slowly stretch the chest skin so it can accommodate larger breasts. They are gradually filled with liquid over a series of appointments. Once the ideal size is achieved, the expanders are removed and replaced with the implants. #### Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation With fat transfer, donor fat is extracted from a region where it is plentiful, such as the thighs, flanks, or belly, achieving a secondary benefit of contouring these regions. The fat is then purified and sterilized before it is injected into the chest to create modest, natural-looking enhancement. The procedure can be performed on its own, or in tandem with implant surgery. ### What Is the Recovery Like? Breast augmentation is performed on an outpatient basis, meaning that patients are able to leave the medical facility once the procedure is completed and the effects of general anesthesia have worn off. Clients are typically required to take at least 5 to 7 days off from work so that the body has ample time for rest and recovery.  Patients are prescribed pain medication to ensure that they are comfortable throughout the healing process. Sutures will slowly dissolve into the body. Patients are equipped with a compression bra after the procedure to help reduce swelling and keep the new chest shape intact. Follow-up appointments are then scheduled.  --- ## Transmasculine Procedures Denver URL: https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/gender-affirmation-na/transmasculine-procedures-na/ Description: See what transmasculine procedures in Denver are available at The LaVie Institute. _No published content in this export yet._ --- ## Facial Masculinization Denver URL: https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/gender-affirmation-na/transmasculine-procedures-na/facial-procedures-na/ Description: Over time, it is natural for people to become dissatisfied with the look of their faces due to factors such as aging, sun damage, or lack of a proper skincare routine.

For these individuals, being able to look the way they feel makes a world of difference. Facial masculinization allows transmen and transmasculine individuals to achieve a look that is more in line with who they are.  ### Gender-Affirming Facial Changes Over time, it is natural for people to become dissatisfied with the look of their faces due to factors such as aging, sun damage, or lack of a proper skincare routine. For other patients, however, a deeper type of dissatisfaction manifests as a result of their biological gender and facial features not reflecting how they truly feel. Facial masculinization can help create facial changes in transmen that reduce their feelings of dysphoria.  ### Why Choose The LaVie Institute of Plastic Surgery? Our caring team of trusted providers includes four board-certified, Fellowship-trained plastic and reconstructive surgeons who combine artistry, precision, and meticulous attention to detail, delivering nuanced, customized outcomes. Our world-class facility is home to an 8-room clinic along with 2 onsite accredited operating theaters, where clients receive access to cutting-edge technology and advanced treatment modalities. In order to exceed expectations, we provide comprehensive, concierge-level care from start to finish. ### What Are Facial Masculinization Procedures? Facial masculinization treatments can sculpt more angular contours, resulting in a more masculine aesthetic. The treatment works by redefining the bones and soft tissue while reimagining the features in a way that reflects the patient’s unique vision for improvement. Masculinization procedures can address the: - Cheeks - Chin - Forehead - Nose - Throat ### What Are The Benefits of Facial Masculinization? #### Sharper Facial Features Most transmen would like to have a more defined jawline or nose to make them look more chiseled and rugged. Facial masculinization techniques can be used to redefine the patient’s facial anatomy for a more conventionally masculine look.  #### Improved Balance in The Face Beyond providing transmen with the facial structure they desire, facial masculinization procedures can also give the face a more balanced appearance. The pronounced cheekbones, strong chin, and contoured jawline that result from this procedure work together to achieve a powerful countenance.  #### A Boost in Confidence It is not uncommon for transmen to lack confidence in their facial aesthetic due to the fact that their biological gender does not reflect how they truly feel. FMS helps transmen by transforming their faces, making them feel more comfortable in their own skins. ### Who is a Good Candidate? Facial masculinization is specifically designed for patients who were assigned female at birth but identify as men. This procedure is considered to be gender-affirming, as it is effective at treating gender dysphoria, a condition that causes distress in individuals whose outer appearance does not reflect how they feel. For most transgender individuals, the path to changing their appearance starts with hormone therapy. Testosterone is responsible for changes in the body, such as increased muscle mass and body and facial hair. Facial masculinizing procedures give patients the ability to make more significant, permanent changes to themselves.  A patient may not be an ideal candidate if: - The bone structure of their head and face is still developing - They have a health issue that increases the likelihood of complications during surgery - The patient’s mental health status prevents them from giving consent for the procedure. ### What Procedures Are Included? - Cheeks: Implants can be used to make the cheeks more angular. - Chin: Bones, implants, or fat grafts can be used to create a broader chin or a sharper jawline. Fat grafting is a process in which fat is harvested from one area of the body and transferred into another. - Forehead: Both surgery and dermal fillers can be used to create a broader forehead. It can flatten the eyebrow ridge and create more distance between the eyebrows and the hairline. - Hair transplantation: Hair can be harvested from a donor region and transplanted into the face, creating thicker sideburns, a mustache, or a goatee. - Nose: Cartilage and bone grafting can be used to make the nose larger and wider. - Throat: Cartilage can be harvested from other areas of the body to construct an adam’s apple. This is a small mass of tissue found at the center of a man’s throat. ### What is the Recovery Process Like?  While some patients will need it, an overnight stay at the hospital isn’t always necessary. Generally speaking, patients will go home with: - Bandages and dressings for their wounds - A splint on their nose - Garments that are designed to give support and reduce swelling - Surgical drains that can keep fluids flowing out of the body Pain, swelling, and bruising are all normal and to be expected. Patients will receive instructions for their recovery to ensure that they are as comfortable as possible. Getting ample rest and taking the prescribed pain medications are vital.  --- ## FTM Body Contouring Denver URL: https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/gender-affirmation-na/transmasculine-procedures-na/ftm-body-contouring-na/ Description: Fat distribution in the female body is quite different from the distribution seen in the male body.

These changes are... ## FTM Body Contouring in Denver, CO Dealing with gender dysphoria is a long, uphill battle that can last for years. The depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues that arise as a result can make it difficult for these patients to thrive. Our FTM body contouring in Denver can help transmen attain a physique that is more in line with how they feel, reducing feelings of dysphoria.  ### Masculine Body Contouring Fat distribution in the female body is quite different from the distribution seen in the male body. While women tend to have wider hips and thighs, men do not. When it comes to gender-affirming surgeries for transmen, most people think of top and bottom surgery. These changes are important, but they are incomplete without the incorporation of new body contours. FTM (female-to-male) body contouring can redefine the body’s contours, giving the patient a more masculine aesthetic.  ### Why Choose The LaVie Institute of Plastic Surgery? At The LaVie Institute, our skilled, board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeons understand that each patient is on a unique life journey. Our goal is to empower clients to achieve their individual aesthetic visions and attain a higher quality of life with enhanced self-confidence. Our state-of-the-art facility offers an 8-room clinic and 2 onsite accredited operating theaters equipped with cutting-edge, world-class technology. Through comprehensive, concierge-level care, we exceed expectations and deliver an outstanding patient experience. ### What is FTM Body Contouring? FTM (female-to-male) body contouring surgery consists of a combination of top surgery and other effective body contouring treatments that leave the patient with a more masculine appearance. The development process of female bodies involves hormones like estrogen, which is designed to store fat in the hips, legs, and buttocks, resulting in a voluptuous figure. In order to create a more masculine upper body shape with a distinguished, V-shaped torso, fat needs to be extracted from the areas of high volume. Our FTM body contouring in Denver typically employs liposuction as a means of removing fat from areas such as the butt, hips, and thighs. In some cases, high-definition lipo can also be performed to provide increased definition to the abdominal muscles and create a "six-pack." The extracted fat can also create smooth contours going from the chest down to the waist.  ### What Are the Benefits of FTM Body Contouring? - A safe and highly effective treatment - Better-defined and more masculine contours - A boost in self-esteem and improved self-image - Results that can stand the test of time - Reduced cellulite in some cases ### Who is an Ideal Candidate for FTM Body Contouring? While these procedures are highly regarded for their safety and efficacy, not all transmen will be good candidates for FTM body contouring. It’s important for patients to keep in mind that this procedure should not be seen as a substitute for maintaining a healthy diet and exercising regularly. Generally speaking, healthy transgender men who are already near their target weight, have good muscle tone, and are free of excess, drooping skin make good candidates. Just like with any other contouring procedure, FTM body contouring is considered to be a great option for patients who are struggling with stubborn fat that has not responded to common weight loss strategies. ### What is the Procedure Like? As each patient has their own unique body shape, FTM body contouring plans are individualized for the patient, ensuring that their specific needs are met. Incisions for liposuction are made as small as possible in areas such as the skin folds to keep them obscured from vision.  After liposuction has been completed, the harvested fat is then purified and transferred into the upper torso region so that the transition from the chest to the waist looks smoother. The patient’s customized treatment plan for our FTM body contouring in Denver will be performed at our accredited surgical facility under general or local anesthesia. Patients will be able to go over the details of their treatment plan during the private consultation.  ### Recovery Once the procedure is complete, the incisions are sealed using fine, biodegradable sutures. Throughout the recovery period, discomfort, bruising, and swelling are all normal. These side effects can be effectively managed with pain medications. Patients are advised to remain in bed for the first few days of recovery, though it is a good idea to walk around the house as soon as possible to enhance circulation. Most patients are able to get back to work within the first week. However, they should refrain from vigorous exercise and heavy lifting for at least a month as the healing process continues. Patients are given a compression garment to wear throughout the recovery period to reduce swelling and provide support to the relocated fat tissue. The patient’s new contours are revealed almost immediately and continue to settle in over the following weeks as the swelling dissipates, and the healing process continues. It is vital that patients carefully follow all of their surgeon’s instructions so that they can enjoy a speedy recovery without complications.  #### I am so thankful for Dr. Daniali and Dr. Pulikkottil! They have been nothing but super helpful, superbly competent, and so nice. I look better than I have ever thought I would have looked. I will never be able to thank them enough!

These patients may live for years with negative feelings before they arrive at a decision to change things. Across the board, many agree that overcoming dysphoria ... ## FTM Bottom Surgery in Denver, CO Gender dysphoria can have a significant impact on quality of life for FTM (female-to-male) patients. Bottom surgery gives clients the ability to alter a vital aspect of their physiques to better align with the way they feel on the inside.  ### Masculine Bottom Surgery It is common for transmen and transmasculine individuals to experience dysphoria in regard to their genital regions. These patients may live for years with negative feelings before they arrive at a decision to change things. Across the board, many agree that overcoming dysphoria becomes easier once they undergo surgical procedures to achieve inner and outer congruence. At The LaVie Institute, we provide FTM bottom surgery in Denver to create a more masculine lower body presentation, enhancing self-confidence. ### Why Choose The LaVie Institute for Plastic Surgery? At The LaVie Institute, our four board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeons possess the artistry, skill, and precision to deliver balanced, natural-looking outcomes for our clients pursuing gender affirmation.  We provide concierge, patient-centric care in a technologically advanced accredited practice setting, where active listening and personalized attention serve as the pillars of an exceptional treatment experience.  Our world-class facility offers an 8-room clinic as well as 2 onsite operating theaters. We also have access to a hospital-based clinic affiliated with the Swedish Medical Center for hand and reconstructive procedures. ### What is FTM Bottom Surgery? FTM (female-to-male) bottom surgery is one of the primary operations sought by transmen or transmasculine people. The objective of the procedure is to create a visually appealing penis that allows for proper urination while the patient is standing up. FTM bottom surgery provides effective relief from gender dysphoria for many patients, advancing their overall quality of life.  ### Who Is a Good Candidate for Bottom Surgery? Good candidates for our FTM bottom surgery in Denver are healthy and are at least 18 years old. It is vital that patients be non-smokers or quit smoking a few weeks before the procedure, as smoking can hinder and negatively impact the healing process.  As with any gender-affirming operation, patients should already be receiving counseling about their gender identity and may need to provide a letter from their psychologist. FTM bottom surgery is recommended for patients that have been dealing with persistent gender dysphoria for years.  Beyond that, ideal candidates will have started hormone replacement therapy (HRT) before pursuing FTM bottom surgery. In many cases, patients also need to undergo a hysterectomy and oophorectomy (removal of ovaries) before undergoing bottom surgery. ### What Is The Procedure Like? There are two forms of FTM bottom surgery: metoidioplasty and phalloplasty. Deciding which approach is best for the patient depends on their results from HRT and their goals.  #### Metoidioplasty A metoidioplasty is considered to be a simpler approach to FTM bottom surgery. This procedure works by changing the position of the clitoris, which has already grown in length due to HRT so that it sits in the natural position of a real penis. The urethral is then lengthened up to the tip of the newly-formed penis. The lining of the vaginal canal is removed, and the area is sealed off. The labia majora tissues are then used to construct a scrotum.  #### Phalloplasty Our phalloplasty in Denver works by harvesting skin grafts from the thighs, forearms, abdomen, and back to construct the new penis. The following flaps may be used during surgery: - Radial forearm free flap - Anterolateral thigh flap - Musculocutaneous latissimus dorsi flap (side/back) - Supra-pubic (abdominal) Tissue from these same donor sites can also be used to add more length to the urethra. Beyond constructing the phallus, a phalloplasty usually also includes a vaginectomy, a procedure that is designed to remove the vagina, and a scrotectomy, where a scrotum is created using the labia majora. In some cases, testicular implants may also be employed.  Most phalloplasty techniques also give the option to use a penile implant (an erection rod or inflatable pump) if the patient desires. This option is usually reserved for when the patient has fully recovered from their phalloplasty procedure; penile implants are usually not placed until approximately one year following the initial surgery.  ### What is the recovery process like? Most patients need to remain in the hospital for at least five days after undergoing their FTM bottom surgery in Denver. Following the procedure, there will be a catheter in place. Patients will experience some swelling and discomfort, but pain medications will be prescribed as necessary to ensure a comfortable recovery period. The treatment area will be bandaged, and patients will have a splint in place to support skin graft donor sites.  Generally speaking, FTM bottom surgery patients are able to get back to work and their daily routines approximately one month after surgery. Patients must refrain from strenuous activities, such as vigorous exercise and lifting heavy objects, for at least two weeks following their phalloplasty. It takes time to gain full sensation after undergoing phalloplasty, as nerve tissues take time to heal. It can take as long as two years to fully heal from FTM bottom surgery.   #### I highly recommend Dr. Endress and his staff. They were incredibly kind, professional, and do incredible work. Recovery time was super fast, I couldn't believe it. Super impressed. Ryan Salmons --- ## FTM Top Surgery Denver URL: https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/gender-affirmation-na/transmasculine-procedures-na/ftm-top-surgery-na/ Description: For many trans men, top surgery represents a vital step in the process of affirming their gender identity. Schedule a consultation with The LaVie Institute to learn more. ## FTM Top Surgery in Denver, CO For many trans men, top surgery represents a vital step in the process of affirming their gender identity. This life-changing surgery can provide enhanced self-confidence and a feeling of ease and security in one’s skin. ### Masculine Chest Transformation When performed by an expert, top surgery can aid FTM clients in achieving a firm, masculine aesthetic in the chest region, enhancing their self-image and expanding their clothing options. Beyond that, our FTM top surgery in Denver helps patients feel more authentic in their gender expression.  ### Why Choose The LaVie Institute of Plastic Surgery? Our team of caring, compassionate providers offers the highest levels of safety in an immaculate, state-of-the-art practice setting. Each patient receives personalized attention and an individualized treatment plan curated to achieve their unique goals. Each of our providers is double board-certified, ensuring a precision-minded approach as well as consummate artistry when it comes to your results.  Surgery takes place either at our world-class onsite accredited operating theaters or at our cutting-edge hospital-based clinic, affiliated with the Swedish Medical Center. We combine access to innovative technology with extensive knowledge and expertise, exceeding patient expectations at every stage of the aesthetic journey. ### What Is FTM Top Surgery? Top surgery employs some of the most cutting-edge techniques available today to ensure minimal scarring and attain results that seamlessly enhance the patient’s existing physique. There are several different approaches to the procedure, outlined below. #### The Periareolar Incision The periareolar incision, sometimes referred to as a keyhole incision, encircles the nipple. An additional incision is then made around the same area at a wider circumference. This method works best for patients that only need a small amount of breast tissue to be extracted. Scarring is virtually unnoticeable in the darker areas of the areola.  #### The Double Incision There are some cases in which the patient has a significant amount of breast tissue to extract. In these situations, the double incision method is employed to thoroughly sculpt the chest. This technique involves two horizontal incisions, which are made at the top and bottom of the pectoral muscles. The skin is then lifted so that fat and tissue can be extracted.  #### The Buttonhole Incision This option utilizes an incision that runs along the bottom of the breast. It is ideal for preserving nipple placement, sensation, and coloring.   #### Liposuction Liposuction can be carried out in tandem with any incision method to help remove excess fat, creating a more sculpted, defined aesthetic in the chest.  ### What Are The Benefits? #### Boosted Self-Confidence Trans men who receive their FTM top surgery in Denver feel more confident about their looks and are able to branch out more socially. They feel more at ease in their own skin in all areas of their lives.  #### Enhanced Quality of Life After receiving top surgery, patients feel a greater congruence between their inner selves and how they present on the outside. This results in enhanced psychological harmony, elevating their quality of life. #### A Positive Outlook It is well known that transgender individuals are affected disproportionately by depression and anxiety. They are also more prone to suicide than any other group. Top surgery gives trans men a better outlook on life and more hope for the future. #### More Wardrobe Options Patients that receive top surgery find that they can fit into clothes that they were never able to before. Shopping for a new wardrobe is an aspect of the procedure that FTM top surgery clients find most exciting. ### Who Is an Ideal Candidate for FTM Top Surgery? As with any surgical procedure, patients seeking out top surgery should be of sound body and mind and free of any significant medical issues that could lead to complications. Like other gender-affirming surgeries, patients have to provide documentation that confirms persistent gender dysphoria over many years, as they have to be psychologically prepared for the changes made to their bodies. It is recommended that patients be of legal age to give full consent (18 years old). If the patient is younger, they will have to be accompanied by a parent. A letter from the patient’s therapist stating the patient has been receiving counseling related to their gender dysphoria, that they truly wish to live as another gender, and that they don’t have any psychological disorders that could have an influence on their decision, is also required.  ### What Can I Expect from the Recovery Process? Top surgeries usually last about 2 to 3 hours and are performed under general anesthesia. Following the procedure, patients are given a compression garment that mitigates swelling and ensures that their new, chiseled chest is kept intact. In some cases, patients are fitted with small drains that aid in removing excess blood and fluids from the body following surgery.  Patients are prescribed appropriate pain medications to keep them comfortable throughout the healing process. It is common to experience side effects such as swelling, bruising, and tenderness, but these will dissipate by the two week-mark. Clients are typically able to resume all of their daily activities, including exercise, within about 30 days. #### Dr. Daniali was absolutely amazing. Very compassionate and understanding. Her entire team and staff were also very nice.

Quick Answer: [Body contouring surgery after massive weight loss](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/body-contouring-after-weight-loss/) removes excess skin and reshapes the body after significant weight reduction. Common procedures include tummy tuck, arm lift, thigh lift, breast lift, and lower body lift. These surgeries are typically performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon in an accredited surgery center. ### What Is Body Contouring Surgery After Massive Weight Loss? Body contouring surgery after massive weight loss refers to a group of procedures designed to remove loose skin and restore natural body shape after losing a significant amount of weight. Patients who lose 50 pounds, 100 pounds, or more often develop excess skin that cannot tighten on its own. Post-weight loss body contouring surgery can: - Remove excess skin - Tighten underlying tissues - Improve body proportions - Reduce skin irritation and rashes - Restore confidence after major weight loss Many patients view body contouring surgery as the final step in their weight loss transformation. ### Why Do People Need Skin Removal After Weight Loss? Excess skin occurs because the skin stretches during weight gain and may lose its elasticity over time. After massive weight loss, the skin may not shrink back completely. Common areas affected include: - Abdomen - Arms - Thighs - Breasts - Back and flanks For patients with moderate to severe skin laxity, skin removal surgery after weight loss is the most effective treatment. ### What Are the Most Common Body Contouring Procedures? Several post-weight loss plastic surgery procedures may be recommended depending on a patient’s goals. ### Tummy Tuck After Weight Loss (Abdominoplasty) A [tummy tuck](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/tummy-tuck/) after massive weight loss removes excess abdominal skin and tightens the abdominal wall. Benefits include: - Flatter abdomen - Improved waistline - Removal of excess skin folds - Better clothing fit This is one of the most commonly performed body contouring surgeries after weight loss. ### Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) An [arm lift](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/arm-lift/) after weight loss removes loose skin from the upper arms. This procedure improves the contour of the arms and eliminates the “bat wing” appearance that many patients experience after losing a large amount of weight. ### Thigh Lift After Weight Loss A [thigh lift](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/thigh-lift/) surgery removes excess skin from the inner or outer thighs. This procedure can improve comfort by reducing: - Skin friction - Irritation - Difficulty exercising ### Lower Body Lift A lower [body lift](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/body-lift/) or circumferential body lift is a comprehensive body contouring procedure that treats multiple areas at once. It can improve: - Abdomen - Lower back - Buttocks - Outer thighs - Flanks Patients who have experienced massive weight loss often benefit from this transformative procedure. ### Who Is a Good Candidate for Body Contouring After Massive Weight Loss? Good candidates for post-weight loss body contouring surgery generally: - Have lost a significant amount of weight - Have stable weight for 3–6 months - Are close to their goal weight - Are in good overall health - Have excess skin causing discomfort or cosmetic concerns A consultation with a LaVie double board-certified plastic surgeon will determine the best treatment plan. ### When Is the Best Time to Have Body Contouring Surgery? At LaVie, our surgeons recommend waiting until: - Weight has stabilized - Nutritional status is optimized - Medical conditions are well controlled Patients who lose weight with lifestyle changes, bariatric surgery, or medications such as Semaglutide or [Tirzepatide](https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/tirzepatide-subcutaneous-route/description/drg-20534045) should reach a stable weight before pursuing surgery. This helps ensure long-lasting body contouring results. ### Why Choose a Plastic Surgeon with an Accredited Surgery Center, such as LaVie? Safety is one of the most important factors when considering body contouring surgery after weight loss. Procedures should be performed in an accredited facility such as one certified by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF)  AAAASF accreditation ensures: - National safety standards - Advanced surgical equipment - Qualified anesthesia providers - Strict patient safety protocols An accredited on-site surgery center also allows for a more private, comfortable surgical experience. ### The Advantage of an Integrated Weight Loss and Plastic Surgery Practice An increasing number of patients are seeking comprehensive weight loss and body contouring programs.

Body contouring surgery after massive weight loss is a group of procedures designed to remove excess skin and reshape the body after significant weight reduction. Common procedures include a tummy tuck, arm lift, thigh lift, breast lift, and lower body lift. These surgeries improve body proportions and eliminate loose skin that does not tighten with diet or exercise. #### Why do people have excess skin after losing weight? Excess skin occurs because the skin stretches during weight gain and may lose elasticity over time. After massive weight loss, especially more than 50–100 pounds, the skin often cannot fully retract. Genetics, age, and the amount of weight lost all influence how much loose skin develops. #### What procedures are included in post-weight loss body contouring? Post-weight loss body contouring surgery may include several procedures depending on the areas affected by excess skin. Common procedures include: - Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) - Arm lift (brachioplasty) - Thigh lift surgery - Lower body lift or circumferential body lift - [Breast lift](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/breast/breast-lift/) or [breast augmentation](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/breast/breast-augmentation/) A plastic surgeon typically creates a customized treatment plan based on each patient’s anatomy and goals. #### What is a lower body lift? A lower body lift is an advanced body contouring procedure that removes excess skin around the entire lower torso. It improves the abdomen, flanks, lower back, buttocks, and outer thighs. This procedure is commonly performed in patients who have experienced massive weight loss and have significant skin laxity around the midsection. #### When is the best time to have body contouring surgery after weight loss? Most plastic surgeons recommend having body contouring surgery after weight loss when: - Weight has been stable for at least 3 to 6 months - The patient is close to their goal weight - Nutritional health is optimized - Medical conditions are well controlled Stable weight helps ensure the best long-term results from surgery. #### Can body contouring surgery be combined with medical weight loss programs? Yes. Many practices now offer integrated weight loss and body contouring programs. Patients may begin with physician-guided weight loss and later transition to body contouring procedures once their weight has stabilized. Medical weight loss programs may include lifestyle support and medications such as Semaglutide or Tirzepatide. #### Is body contouring surgery safe? Body contouring surgery is generally safe when performed by an experienced plastic surgeon in an accredited surgical facility. Accreditation organizations such as the [American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF)](https://www.quada.org/) ensure strict national standards for patient safety, anesthesia care, and surgical equipment. Choosing a qualified surgeon and accredited surgery center is one of the most important factors in achieving safe outcomes. #### How long is recovery after body contouring surgery? Recovery varies depending on the procedures performed. In general: - Most patients return to light activities in 2–3 weeks - Strenuous exercise is limited for 4–6 weeks - Swelling and final contour improvements continue for several months Your [LaVie double board-certified plastic surgeon](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/) will provide a detailed recovery plan tailored to your procedure. #### How much weight should I lose before body contouring surgery? Patients should ideally reach a stable weight close to their long-term goal weight before undergoing body contouring surgery. Surgeons often recommend being within 10–15 pounds of goal weight to achieve the best aesthetic results. #### Does insurance cover skin removal after weight loss? In some cases, insurance may cover specific procedures such as panniculectomy if excess skin causes documented medical problems like chronic rashes or infections. However, many body contouring procedures after weight loss are considered cosmetic and are not typically covered by insurance. [A consultation](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/contact/) with a Lavie plastic surgeon can help determine eligibility. ### How do I choose the best plastic surgeon for body contouring after massive weight loss? When choosing a surgeon for post-weight loss body contouring, patients should look for: - Board certification in plastic surgery - Experience treating massive weight loss patients - Before-and-after results for body contouring procedures - Surgery performed in an accredited surgical facility - A comprehensive approach to weight loss and wellness These factors help ensure both safety and natural-looking results.

[Breast implant removal](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/breast/breast-implant-removal/) surgery, also known as explant surgery, is a procedure that is gaining traction for women with breast implants who are reassessing their health, comfort, and aesthetic goals. Whether their decision is driven by physical changes, lifestyle changes, or a desire for a more natural look, explant surgery is a highly personal decision that deserves a thoughtful and individualized approach. For explant patients in the Denver Metro area, the LaVie Institute offers an opportunity to gain insight and move forward with clarity, confidence, and expert surgical care when you are ready.  #### What Exactly Is Breast Implant Removal (Explant Surgery)? Explant surgery is a procedure that removes breast implants placed during a prior breast augmentation or reconstruction surgery. Depending on your anatomy, implant history, and desired outcome, the surgery may include: - Removal of the breast implants only - Removal of implants and surrounding scar tissue (capsulectomy) - Implant removal combined with a breast lift (mastopexy) to restore shape At LaVie Institute, our double board-certified plastic surgeons will design a surgical plan that is fully tailored to your body, your goals, and your long-term well-being. We never use a one-size-fits-all approach. #### Why Do Women Choose to Remove Their Breast Implants? Women choose to remove their breast implants for a variety of reasons. These decisions are most often not about regret, but more about alignment with changes in their lifestyle or physical comfort.  Capsular Contracture  Over time, implants and surrounding tissues can change. When an implant is placed, your body is going to react by developing scar tissue around the implant. This scar tissue is called the capsule. Some women may experience firmness, tightness, or aesthetic issues related to the scar tissue formation. This is called capsular contracture. Capsular contracture can cause pain, discomfort, and can alter the shape of the breasts. While the cause of capsular contracture is not always clear, it is most often linked to an anti-inflammatory response or infection from exposure to bacteria. The best solution for capsular contracture is to remove the implant along with the capsule. Some women choose to replace the implants, while others opt for a full explant.  Lifestyle and Aesthetic Changes Many women choose to remove their implants because their lifestyles have changed over time. Maybe they have become more physically active, and the implants feel like they are just in the way. Many women also feel like the look of larger breasts no longer aligns with how they see themselves.  Implant Rupture  Breast implants are not lifetime devices. There is always the possibility of rupture. The average rupture rate for modern silicone breast implants in the U.S. is generally less than 1% per year, so the risk is fairly low. The longer the implant is in place, the higher the risk of rupture becomes. If your implant does rupture, you will want to get it removed as soon as possible. Most women will choose to replace both implants if one ruptures, and some women will choose to remove the implants entirely to avoid the possible risk of another rupture.    Changes to the Body  As we age, our tissues begin to loosen, especially if we experience pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight gain and weight loss. These changes can cause the breasts to sag or droop, and many women will elect to do a breast lift to get the breasts back into a more youthful, perky position. If you choose to do a breast lift when you already have implants placed, you will need to remove the current implants and replace them with new ones. Some women will choose to do an explant rather than replacement to avoid the potential need for additional surgery down the road. Health and Wellness Peace of Mind In some rare cases, patients report systemic symptoms they believe may be associated with their implants and choose explant surgery as a proactive step toward overall health and wellness. Breast Implant Illness (BII) is most commonly associated with symptoms such as chronic fatigue, brain fog, joint/muscle pain, hair loss, and anxiety. Although BII is not a formally recognized medical diagnosis, many patients have reported an improvement in these symptoms after explant surgery. While research continues to evolve, many women feel more empowered by listening to their bodies and making a very informed decision to remove their implants.  #### What Happens to the Breasts After Implant Removal? Every explant journey is unique. Outcomes depend on factors such as implant size, skin elasticity, and the length of time the implants have been in place. Some women find that their natural breast tissue adapts beautifully, and the skin can retract on its own. Others choose to have a breast lift after explant to restore breast shape, firmness, and proportion.  At LaVie Institute, our experienced surgeons will guide you through realistic expectations and surgical options during your consultation. #### Making a Confident, Informed Decision with Expert Guidance Choosing breast implant removal is about honoring where you are now. It’s a decision rooted in clarity, personal preference, and long-term well-being. If you’re exploring explant surgery, we invite you to schedule a one-on-one consultation with our double board-certified plastic surgery team at the LaVie Institute in Lone Tree, Colorado.

Arms are one of the most visible—and revealing—areas of the body. Even p... An expert, stepwise guide from the LaVie Institute of Plastic Surgery. Arms are one of the most visible—and revealing—areas of the body. Even patients who feel confident about their face or torso often tell us they hide their arms due to crepey skin, stubborn fat, or loss of definition. The good news? There is no one-size-fits-all solution—and there doesn’t need to be. At the [LaVie Institute of Plastic Surgery](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/), we take a graduated, anatomy-driven approach to arm rejuvenation. Treatments escalate thoughtfully based on body composition, skin quality, and degree of laxity, allowing us to deliver elegant, natural-looking results while avoiding unnecessary surgery. Below is our comprehensive guide to achieving beautiful, sculpted arms—from noninvasive foundations to surgical refinement. ### Step 1: Build the Foundation — Exercise, Muscle Tone & Body Composition Best for: Early arm aging, mild fullness, loss of tone #### Physician-Led Medical Weight Loss Whether you accomplish this through traditional diet and exercise or need some assistance, as body fat percentage decreases, arm contours naturally emerge. Our physician-guided medical weight loss program at the LaVie Institute is designed to: - Optimize metabolic health - Preserve lean muscle - Support sustainable fat reduction Lower body fat allows muscle definition to show—often dramatically improving arm appearance without procedures. #### Targeted Strength Training (10–15 Minutes) You don’t need marathon workouts. Consistency wins: - Short, regular sessions - Progressive resistance over time - Focus on triceps, deltoids, and shoulders This builds shape and firmness while protecting joints and skin. #### Directed Muscle Stimulation with Pure Impact For patients seeking faster or enhanced results, Pure Impact neuromuscular stimulation:  - Activates muscle fibers deeply - Improves tone and firmness - Complements exercise and body recomposition [Learn more about Pure Impact’s cutting-edge technology](https://sofwave.com/providers/technologies/pure-impact) to tone and refine muscle development. ### Step 2: Improve Crepey Skin & Skin Quality (When laxity is minimal but texture is the issue) Best for: Crepey arms, thin skin, early aging #### Medical-Grade Body Retinol A nightly body retinol is one of the most powerful, underused tools for arm rejuvenation: - Improves skin thickness and texture - Stimulates collagen over time - Enhances smoothness and luminosity An excellent body retinol that remodels skin texture while providing moisture and glow while avoiding irritation is the [State of Grace Body Retinol](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/resources/shop/)  #### Ultrasound Skin Tightening with Sofwave [Sofwave](https://sofwave.com) delivers precise ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production: - Non-invasive - No downtime Ideal for patients with good elasticity but poor skin quality. Generally patients need two sessions to the area of skin needing improvement spaced 6 wks to 3 months apart. ### Step 3: Reduce Localized Fat Without Significant Skin Laxity Best for: Mild–moderate fat excess, good elasticity #### Precision Fat Removal with VASER When diet and exercise aren’t enough, [VASER](https://www.vaser.com) liposuction offers refined arm contouring by: - Selectively removing unwanted fat - Using gentle ultrasound energy - Promoting skin retraction This approach reshapes the arm while preserving smoothness—often avoiding the need for skin excision. ### Step 4: Restore Shape When There Is Significant Skin Laxity Best for: Hanging or excess skin after weight loss or aging #### Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) When true excess skin is present, [brachioplasty](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/arm-lift/) is the definitive solution. This surgical procedure: - Removes redundant skin - Recontours the arm from shoulder to elbow - Restores a smooth, tapered silhouette At the LaVie Institute for Plastic Surgery, incisions are placed along the posterior edge of the arm, making them far less visible from both the front and back. Brachioplasty is frequently combined with VASER liposuction to enhance contour and allow the skin to redrape beautifully. Results: dramatic, long-lasting, and confidence-restoring. ### Which Arm Treatment Is Right for You? Use this quick guide to identify your ideal path: ✔ Your arms lack tone, but skin is smooth Start with: - Medical weight loss - Strength training - Pure Impact muscle stimulation ✔ Your arms look thin but crepey Start with: - Body retinol - Sofwave skin tightening ✔ Your arms feel bulky despite exercise Start with: - VASER liposuction ✔ Your arms have hanging or excess skin Best option: - Brachioplasty (arm lift), often combined with VASER Most patients benefit from combination therapy, and your plan may evolve over time. ### The LaVie Institute Philosophy: Thoughtful, Personalized Arm Rejuvenation Beautiful arms aren’t created with a single treatment—they’re the result of accurate diagnosis, thoughtful escalation, and respect for natural anatomy. Our goal is never to overtreat, but to deliver balanced, elegant results that enhance how you look—and how you feel. ### Ready to Design Your Arm Rejuvenation Plan? If you’re bothered by your arms in sleeveless clothing, photos, or daily life, we invite you to schedule a personalized consultation. [Book your arm rejuvenation consultation at the LaVie Institute](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/contact/cosmetic-form/) Together, we’ll design a plan that fits your anatomy, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals—so your arms finally reflect your strength, confidence, and vitality.

They are looking for proportion, confidence, discretion, and medically sound guidance. At LaVie Institute, male intimate wellness is approached with the same surgical precision, anatomical expertise, and individualized planning as any other advanced aesthetic procedure. Penile enlargement is not a one-size-fits-all treatment. Every patient’s anatomy, goals, and expectations differ. A comprehensive consultation allows for an individualized evaluation and a tailored plan designed to achieve balanced, natural results. I refer to this structured, physician-directed approach as DDL, a comprehensive strategy that may include surgical and non-surgical penile enhancement options depending on candidacy. ### Penile Lengthening in Denver: Ligament Release Surgery Many men are unaware that a portion of penile length is positioned internally. Ligament release surgery carefully releases the suspensory ligament, allowing more of the existing length to extend outward, particularly in the flaccid state. This form of penile lengthening does not create new tissue. Instead, it enhances visible length by repositioning existing anatomy. Key considerations: - Performed in a controlled surgical setting - Designed to improve visible length without implants - May be combined with other penile enlargement techniques for proportion - Requires adherence to post-operative guidelines for optimal results Men researching ligament release surgery in Denver often want realistic expectations. While results vary, the goal is measured improvement and anatomical balance, not exaggeration. ### Penile Girth Enhancement and Penile Enlargement Options in Denver For men seeking increased circumference, penile girth enhancement may be achieved through surgical or injectable techniques. #### Autologous Fat Transfer Fat transfer uses the patient’s own fat to increase girth in a natural, proportional manner. - No synthetic implants - Soft, natural feel - Custom sculpting for symmetry - Surgical precision to optimize retention When performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon, fat grafting offers a refined approach to penile enlargement in Denver that prioritizes both aesthetics and safety. #### Non-Surgical Penile Enhancement with Filler For patients who prefer a minimally invasive option, non-surgical penile enhancement using dermal filler may be appropriate. - Performed in-office - Minimal downtime - Immediate visible girth enhancement - Gradual, controlled volume increase Non-surgical penile enhancement is often an entry point for men exploring enhancement with lower commitment and shorter recovery. #### Scrotal Rejuvenation (Scrotox) Scrotal [Botox](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/non-surgical/injectables/botox/), commonly referred to as Scrotox, may improve both comfort and appearance by relaxing tight musculature. - Can reduce excessive contraction - May create a smoother, more relaxed appearance - Often improves comfort in daily activities This treatment is sometimes incorporated into a broader male enhancement strategy for patients seeking comprehensive refinement. ### Who Is a Candidate for Male Enhancement Surgery in Denver? Ideal candidates for penile enlargement or male enhancement surgery in Denver: - Are in good overall health - Have realistic expectations - Seek proportional enhancement rather than extreme change - Understand the surgical and recovery process During consultation, we review anatomy, medical history, and goals to determine whether ligament release surgery, penile girth enhancement, non-surgical penile enhancement, or a combination approach is appropriate. ### Penile Denervation for Sensitivity Management In addition to penile lengthening and penile enlargement procedures, Dr. Pulikkottil also performs penile denervation, a specialized surgical procedure designed to reduce penile hypersensitivity in select patients. Penile denervation may be considered for men experiencing persistent premature ejaculation or heightened sensitivity that has not responded to conservative treatments. The procedure involves: - Selective microsurgical interruption of specific sensory nerve branches - Careful preservation of functional nerve structures - A precise, anatomy-based surgical approach The goal of penile denervation is to improve control and comfort while maintaining overall function. As with all procedures involving male intimate wellness, candidacy is determined through a detailed consultation and evaluation. Not all patients are appropriate candidates. Conservative therapies are typically discussed first, and surgical intervention is reserved for carefully selected individuals who understand the risks, limitations, and potential outcomes. When performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon with advanced microsurgical training, penile denervation can be a safe and effective option for appropriately screened patients. ### Risks, Recovery, and Expectations As with any surgical procedure, penile lengthening and penile enlargement carry risks. These may include swelling, bruising, asymmetry, infection, or need for revision. Non-surgical penile enhancement also carries risks such as irregularity or temporary swelling. Recovery timelines vary depending on the procedure performed. Surgical ligament release typically requires a structured post-operative protocol, while injectable enhancement involves minimal downtime. A thorough consultation ensures patients understand: - Expected degree of improvement - Limitations of each technique - Healing timelines - Long-term maintenance considerations Patient safety, discretion, and informed decision-making are central to every treatment plan. ### Why Choose LaVie Institute for Penile Lengthening in Denver? Male intimate wellness requires advanced anatomical knowledge and surgical precision.

But for many patients, t... Massive weight loss—whether through lifestyle change, medication, or bariatric surgery—is a life-changing achievement. But for many patients, the journey doesn’t end at the number on the scale. Excess, loose skin can remain, affecting comfort, mobility, hygiene, and confidence. A [tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/tummy-tuck/) after massive weight loss is often the final step in reclaiming both form and function. This guide is designed to help patients understand what a tummy tuck involves, who is a candidate, expected results, recovery, and how to choose the right plastic surgeon.  [Dr. Endress](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/about/our-surgeons/dr-ryan-endress/), a 5280 Top Doctor, is a double board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in these types of procedures, and he has unique techniques for optimizing tissue a removal and tightening the abdominal wall to yield a superior aesthetic results beyond a standard tummy tuck. A tummy tuck after massive weight loss is a specialized form of abdominoplasty designed to: - Remove excess skin and residual fat - Tighten weakened or separated abdominal muscles (rectus diastasis) - Improve abdominal contour and waistline definition - Address skin irritation or hygiene issues caused by skin folds Unlike a standard cosmetic tummy tuck, post-weight-loss procedures often involve more extensive skin removal and may be combined with other body contouring surgeries. #### Who Is a Good Candidate? Ideal candidates for a tummy tuck after massive weight loss typically: - Have lost a significant amount of weight (often 50+ pounds) - Are at or near a stable weight for at least 3–6 months - Have loose, hanging abdominal skin that does not improve with exercise - Are in good overall health and non-smokers - Have realistic expectations about outcomes and scars Patients who have undergone bariatric procedures like gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy often benefit significantly from post-weight-loss body contouring. #### Benefits Beyond Aesthetics While the visual transformation is powerful, the functional benefits are just as important: - Reduction in skin rashes and infections (intertrigo) - Improved mobility and exercise tolerance - Better posture and core strength - Easier clothing fit and improved body image - Enhanced quality of life and confidence #### Types of Tummy Tuck Procedures Not all tummy tucks are the same. After massive weight loss, your surgeon may recommend: 1. Standard Abdominoplasty - Focuses on the lower abdomen - Removes excess skin and tightens muscles 2. Extended Tummy Tuck - Addresses the abdomen and flanks (love handles) - Ideal for patients with circumferential skin laxity 3. Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck - Adds a vertical incision for patients with significant horizontal and vertical skin excess - Common after extreme weight loss 4. Circumferential Body Lift (Lower Body Lift) - Treats the abdomen, flanks, lower back, and buttocks - Often part of a comprehensive body contouring plan ####  What is recovery like? At [LaVie](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/), we have a dedicated plastic surgery recovery specialist, integrating lymphatic massage and other critical modalities to boost your ability to heal and ensure optimal results after any procedure. Dr. Endress prioritizes a multimodal pain management approach to make recovery safer and more comfortable—often minimizing or eliminating the need for narcotics after surgery. By combining targeted local anesthetics, non-opioid medications, and advanced techniques like Exparel (a long-acting anesthetic that provides pain relief for up to 72 hours), we’re able to control pain at multiple pathways. This strategy not only enhances patient comfort but also reduces common opioid-related side effects such as nausea, constipation, and grogginess—helping patients recover faster, think more clearly, and return to normal activity sooner. Recovery after a tummy tuck following massive weight loss is more involved than a standard procedure: First 1–2 weeks: - Limited mobility; walking slightly bent at the waist - Surgical drains may be in place - Compression garments required Weeks 3–6: - Gradual return to light activity - Swelling begins to decrease After 6 weeks: - Most patients resume normal activity and exercise - Continued scar maturation over several months Full results continue to improve over 3–6 months, with scars fading over time. ####  Risks and Considerations As with any surgery, there are risks, including: - Wound healing issues (more common after massive weight loss) - Seroma (fluid accumulation) - Infection or bleeding - Noticeable scarring (strategically placed but permanent) Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience in post-weight-loss body contouring significantly reduces these risks.  #### Combining Procedures for Optimal Results Many patients choose to combine a tummy tuck with: - [Liposuction](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/liposuction/) for contour refinement - [Breast lift](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/breast/breast-lift/) or [augmentation](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/breast/breast-augmentation/) - [Arm lift (brachioplasty)](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/arm-lift/) - [Thigh lift](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/thigh-lift/) This approach—often called a “mommy makeover after weight loss” or total body contouring plan—can reduce overall downtime and deliver more balanced results. ####  Why LaVie is the Right Practice for You When selecting a surgeon and practice, look for: - A board-certified plastic surgeon - Extensive experience in massive weight loss body contouring - An AAASF-accredited surgical facility - Before-and-after galleries with similar patients - A comprehensive program that includes weight loss, wellness, and long-term follow-up - A Castle Connolly Center of Excellence An integrated practice such as LaVie offers continuity of care—from weight loss through surgical transformation and beyond.  #### Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) How much weight should I lose before a tummy tuck? You should be at a stable, sustainable weight, ideally within 10–15 pounds of your goal.   Will insurance cover a tummy tuck after weight loss? In some cases, insurance may cover a panniculectomy (removal of hanging skin causing medical issues), but not the cosmetic components of a full tummy tuck that provides the aesthetic and functional benefits that were previously outlined.   How painful is a tummy tuck after massive weight loss? Most patients report moderate discomfort, well-controlled with modern pain management protocols or long acting regional blocks.   How long do tummy tuck results last? Results are long-lasting, especially if you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.   Will I have scars? Yes—but they are placed low on the abdomen and fade over time. In more extensive procedures (like fleur-de-lis), a vertical scar is also present. ####  Why Patients Choose LaVie At our elite plastic surgery center, we provide: - A comprehensive weight loss and wellness program - A fully accredited, on-site AAASF-certified surgery center - Expertise in advanced body contouring after massive weight loss - Personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s anatomy and goals - Castle Connolly Center of Excellence We understand that massive weight loss is not just physical—it’s transformational.

In some cases, a Fleur-de-Lis abdominoplasty (vertical abdominoplasty) can be performed to tackle excess skin in the upper belly, providing more comprehensive body sculpting results. #### Circumferential Body Lift A circumferential body lift removes excess skin from all angles using a single incision that encircles the torso. The procedure can address skin ptosis in the stomach, flanks (love handles), buttocks, lower back, and lateral thighs. This procedure can be well-paired with thighplasty. #### Thigh Lift Our surgeons can perform a medial thigh lift to address skin and fatty tissue on the inner thighs, or a lateral thigh lift to remove loose skin and bulges from the outer thighs. The surgery is often combined with liposuction to achieve a slimmer, more sculpted upper leg aesthetic. #### Panniculectomy  Excess loose skin and adipose (fatty tissue) that hangs down over the groin (causing irritation, chafing, and discomfort) is referred to as a pannus. A panniculectomy is a procedure to address this issue and restore proper hygiene along with ease of motion. Because a panniculectomy may be medically necessary, some insurance carriers will cover a portion of the costs. ### Contouring Procedures for the Upper Body #### Arm Lift An arm lift can remove the hanging skin that obscures the silhouette and causes self-consciousness when wearing sleeveless clothing. Excision is often paired with liposuction to provide patients with a more youthful, inviting upper arm profile.  #### Breast Lift A breast lift can be performed alone or in tandem with breast augmentation or breast reduction to combat sagging skin and reposition the nipples in a more flattering, upward-facing location. During surgery, redundant skin folds are trimmed while the surrounding tissue is tightened. #### Breast Reduction For women struggling with oversized, pendulous breasts, discomfort can be a way of life. Patients may suffer from back, neck, and shoulder pain, chafing and irritation beneath the bra straps, and an overall feeling of fatigue. Breast reduction contours the chest, restoring balance and youthfulness. #### Gynecomastia Treatment for Men For male patients, enlarged glandular tissue in the chest can result in an overly feminine-looking physique. Men with gynecomastia may feel self-conscious when participating in sports, and may have trouble finding clothes that fit. Gynecomastia treatment restores a sculpted, masculinue-looking physique. #### Warning: This gallery contains nudity.

During your private consultation for body contouring in Denver, we will consider a wide variety of factors, including your age, amount of weight lost, genetics, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals before curating your individualized treatment plan.  You may be an ideal candidate if… - You have excess hanging skin in the belly, flanks, back, thighs, arms, or chest - You are a mentally and physically healthy non-smoker - You have realistic expectations for your results ### After the Procedure Recovery will vary from patient to patient, as each client’s treatment plan is totally unique. However, most clients can expect swelling, soreness, and bruising after surgery. You will be able to resume normal activities within a week or two, but exercise and heavy lifting should be postponed for 4-6 weeks, or as recommended by your surgeon. Improvements from body contouring after weight loss can be noticed immediately and will continue to evolve over time as swelling dies down. You will experience a slimmer, more sculpted and attractive figure, an optimized fit in your favorite outfits, and a significant boost in self-esteem and self-confidence. ### What Our Patients Say Dr. Lily Daniali is the world's prettiest surgeon. She is great, she understands the idea of making choices with your own body. I felt like she really wanted me to have the results I wanted, not the results she wanted. I have had much worse experiences at other consultations, where I have been dismissed or told I just need to be happy with the way I am. Infuriating. Dr. Daniali outlined a wonderful treatment plan for me, including lipo and a thigh lift for my loose skin. At 23, I should not have any loose skin, and my only wish is to feel normal.

Schedule a Consultation ### Natural Breast Restoration While most breast augmentation clients are thrilled with their results, some women experience the risk of rupture, capsular contracture, BII (breast implant illness), rippling, or BIA-ALCL and seek out explantation to mitigate their concerns. Others will choose our breast implant removal in Denver because they desire a more natural breast appearance, as their aesthetic tastes have changed over time. ### What Sets The LaVie Institute of Plastic Surgery Apart? At The LaVie Institute, we walk side by side with our patients on their road to aesthetic fulfillment, supporting their journeys towards the realization of their ideal selves. By delivering comprehensive, patient-centric care in a technologically advanced, accredited environment, we empower our clients to live their best lives. We understand our patients each have different backgrounds, goals, values, and desires.  For this reason, we cater to patients individually, looking deeper to create a personalized plan for resolving their concerns. Our board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeons take all the time necessary to achieve an outstanding outcome that exceeds expectations. ### What is Breast Implant Removal? Breast implant removal (“explant” surgery) is performed to relieve complications associated with implant devices and/or to restore the patient’s chest appearance to a more natural-looking aesthetic. It can provide relief, comfort, and peace of mind for patients who have not received the results they imagined after breast augmentation. Our surgeons can either completely remove the implants or they can replace them with new ones. If the implants are placed above the pec muscles, they can be repositioned beneath in a submuscular location. Another option is to remove the implants and then perform a fat transfer breast augmentation, which uses the patient’s own autologous fat to enhance the bust. A breast lift can be performed in tandem with implant removal to create a lifted, youthful silhouette. This allows the breasts to appear balanced and elegant, with appropriately upturned nipples. Our team will go above and beyond to ensure that your final result is well-suited to your figure and reflects your wishes for a harmonized, attractive physique. #### From the moment I stepped into Dr. Daniali’s office I felt like I was in good hands.

Suree Towfighnia ### Schedule a Consultation Contact Us ### Reasons for Breast Implant Removal #### Capsular Contracture The body naturally forms a protective layer of collagen-based scar tissue around any foreign material, including implants. In rare cases, the scar tissue hardens, causing discomfort as well as aesthetic distortion for the client. This is called capsular contracture and it is among the most common reasons that women seek out breast implant removal procedures. #### Rupture On rare occasions, an implant can leak or rupture. In the case of saline implants, the saltwater is harmlessly absorbed by the body. With silicone implants, the rupture may be indetectable and the patient must undergo MRI scanning to determine the extent of implant damage. Ruptured implants will need to be removed completely or replaced. #### Malposition Implants can shift position, migrating too close together, too far apart, too high, or too low on the chest wall. When this happens, the chest appearance is compromised and the implants will need to be removed or adjusted. Occasionally, implant malposition occurs when the patient chooses implants that are the wrong size for her frame. #### Breast Implant illness (BII) Breast Implant Illness involves a range of symptoms from chronic fatigue and joint pain to sleep disturbances, headaches, and depression. It can occur with any type of implant (saline, silicone, Gummy Bear). It has been associated with autoimmune diseases, although there is no medical diagnosis for it. Most women experience relief after the implants and capsules are removed. #### BIA-ALCL Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is classified as a non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the scar tissue encasing the implant. It is associated with textured implants, which have been recalled by the FDA. If left untreated, it can metastasize and spread to the lymph nodes. Treatment involves the surgical removal of the implants and attendant scar tissue. In some cases, radiation or chemotherapy may be advised. #### A Change of Heart As a woman gets older, her aesthetic tastes may change and she may wish to return to a more modest breast appearance or exchange her implants for a fat transfer augmentation. If the implants are removed, our team can perform a breast lift procedure to ensure the chest looks balanced, symmetrical, and youthful. ### How Is Explant Surgery Performed? Our explant surgery in Denver typically takes 1-4 hours to complete, depending on the technique utilized and your specific concerns. Most patients can expect to resume work within the first week after surgery. In general, recovery will be less involved than it was with breast augmentation, as the surgeon will not be creating a capsule from scratch as they did during the original procedure.  Our surgeons strive to reuse the original incisions wherever possible to minimize the need for additional scarring. This is usually possible when the incisions were placed at the inframammary fold or encircling the areolas. In cases of BII, capsular contractures, rupture, or BIA-ALCL, our surgeons may need to perform a capsulectomy in addition to implant removal.  ### Exploring Capsulectomy When an implant is inserted into the body, it fits into a protective shell called a capsule, which helps to hold the device in place. However, complications such as capsular contracture (the hardening of scar tissue around the implants), BII, and rupture may require the surgeon to remove the capsule along with the implants. A capsulectomy may also be required due to infection or cancer. #### Partial capsulectomy Partial Capsulectomy involves removing part of the breast implant capsule while leaving some behind. This procedure is typically performed to address complications such as capsular contracture or implant malposition. By carefully excising the affected tissue, surgeons aim to improve implant positioning and restore natural contours while minimizing the risk of recurrent issues. #### Total capsulectomy Total Capsulectomy, or Total Precise Capsulectomy, entails the complete removal of the breast implant capsule, though not always in one piece. This meticulous procedure is performed to address complications like capsular contracture or implant rupture. By thoroughly eliminating the capsule, surgeons aim to optimize outcomes and reduce the risk of recurrent issues, promoting better long-term results for patients. #### En bloc capsulectomy En bloc capsulectomy involves removing the breast implant capsule along with a margin of unaffected tissue, particularly for suspected or confirmed breast implant-associated cancers after thorough medical evaluation. This procedure is solely indicated for such cases and requires informed consent, with shared decision-making between patient and surgeon. A formal discussion covering risk assessment, benefits, alternatives, and expected outcomes is essential to ensure comprehensive understanding and optimal management of the condition. ### Schedule a Consultation Contact Us ### Am I a Candidate for Breast Implant Removal? Most women will qualify for our breast implant removal in Denver, provided they are in good mental and physical health and they have realistic expectations. Our team will evaluate your concerns and help you decide on the best treatment plan for your goals. In general, ideal candidates: - Are experiencing complications after breast augmentation surgery - Are unhappy with the current look and feel of their implants - Seek a more natural-looking chest aesthetic - Have textured implants and are experiencing signs of BIA-ALCL ### Where Will My Breast Implant Removal Surgery Be Performed? Our facility at The LaVie Institute of Plastic Surgery houses a cutting-edge 8-room clinic equipped with advanced, world-class technology and an elegant decor. We have two onsite accredited operating theaters to ensure your safety and convenience, as well as a hospital-based clinic affiliated with the prestigious Swedish Medical Center for hand and reconstructive surgeries.  Our state-of-the-art facility coupled with the expertise of our skilled, board-certified plastic surgeons translates to optimized, successful results and an exceptional patient experience. ### What Will My Recovery Be Like? After surgery, you will be placed in our recovery suites and monitored to ensure it is safe for you to go home. You should schedule a helper to drive you home and assist you for 24 hours prior to your procedure date. You will leave our offices with prescription pain medications and a thorough aftercare plan with postoperative instructions.  It is normal to feel sore or tired following your surgery. These are signs that the body is healing. Most patients can expect to return to normal activities within several days but will need to avoid intense exercise for 2-3 weeks. It is important to follow your surgeon’s instructions carefully in order to minimize pressure placed on the incisions. Temporary numbness or fluid drainage in the breasts are normal side effects and will fade with time. Sutures are typically removed after 7-10 days. While the initial swelling will fade within several weeks, residual swelling may take more time to disappear — up to several months. Scars will appear pink and firm for around 6 weeks before they fade. ### What Can I Expect During My Consultation? Your consultation is a time to get to know our team and create a winning treatment plan that will safeguard your health, enhance your comfort, and elevate your quality of life. During this initial meeting, we will go over your medical history and perform a physical evaluation.

There are many factors that may cause a woman’s breasts to deflate, including pregnancy, nursing, the aging process, and weight fluctuations. Additionally, some women are just born with smaller breasts that are not proportionate to their bodies. Breast augmentation is a surgical body sculpting procedure performed to restore volume in the chest and create a stunning, naturally beautiful silhouette. It is most commonly performed using implants (saline, silicone, or Gummy Bear) but can also be achieved through the use of autologous fat grafting. Our team will determine your individual aesthetic goals during your private consultation and help craft a treatment plan that will accomplish the improvements you seek. ### A Breast Lift can be performed in combinationwith Breast Augmentation #### What is a Breast Lift? Our breast lift is performed to combat breast ptosis and elevate the nipples to a more youthful-looking location. When the breasts sag below the inframammary fold — typically caused by the aging process, pregnancy, nursing, oversized implants, or weight fluctuations — it can compromise the chest’s appearance, making it difficult for women to experience a natural fit in tops, swimwear, and lingerie.  #### What Are the Benefits? - Restores a perkier, more attractive silhouette - Removes excess sagging skin  - Firms the surrounding breast tissue - Repositions the nipples and areolas - Creates a more proportionate, balanced, and symmetrical breast appearance - Allows for a better fit in tops, swimwear, bras, and dresses - Improves self-confidence #### Breast Lift Special - $750 OFF ### What is a Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation? We offer autologous fat grafting for natural breast augmentation that allows for rapid recovery and avoidance of foreign materials in the body.  Our results are authentic-looking yet enhanced, with an emphasis on functionality. Fat transfer breast augmentation can typically increase the bust by one cup size. Women seeking modest breast enhancement may find fat grafting to be an ideal option, as there are no complications to worry about, no MRIs required to detect rupture, and no risk of BII (Breast Implant Illness) or capsular contracture. You can discuss whether a fat transfer breast augmentation will achieve your goals with our caring team during your private consultation. #### Dr. Daniali is an outstanding medical professional. She made me feel incredibly comfortable and relaxed throughout my entire procedure as well as pre/post op. She is very down-to-Earth, easy to talk to, and exceptionally intelligent. I highly recommend her & would go back to her in a heartbeat if I needed. Nicole Mammen ### Breast Implant Types We will guide you through the implant selection process, taking careful note of your preferences, anatomy, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals. You will be able to “try on” different implants under your blouse to get a better sense of how your final outcome will appear. During this time, you are welcome to elicit feedback from friends and loved ones. Our team understands that each choice is personal and should reflect the individual. #### Saline Saline implants are typically inserted unfilled, providing the patient with the advantage of minimized scarring. Once they are in place, they are then inflated using sterilized saltwater. #### Silicone Silicone implants are considered to have a highly authentic look and feel. They come in many different shapes, sizes, and textures for the ultimate customization process.  #### Gummy Bear Gummy Bear implants are made with a form-stable gel that provides a realistic, natural look and flawless functionality. They are shaped like teardrops, which help to reinforce the body’s organic contours. ### Set Up YourIn-Depth Consultation The goal of the consultation process is for both the patient and surgeon to understand mutual expectations for results and delineate the treatment process from pre-op to complete recovery. We will answer your questions and concerns, conduct a thorough review of your medical history, and perform the necessary laboratory testing to ensure that the procedure will be safe and effective for you.

Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic procedure that can be used to address issues in both the upper and lower eyelids. It is a customizable treatment that can meet the individual needs of the patient. While eyelid surgery is known to address excess skin, it can also tighten the muscles responsible for lifting the lids.  Every patient has slightly different concerns. Some are more prone to heavy upper eyelids that sag due to excess fat. Other patients may be struggling with heavy lower eyelids that look puffy or have developed under-eye bags. A custom eyelid surgery is able to address all of these issues.  ### What Are the Benefits of Eyelid Surgery? - Reduces hooding of the upper eyelids - Reduces bags and puffiness beneath the eyes - Improves the patient’s vision - Diminishes fine lines and wrinkles  - Preserves the patient’s natural beauty  - Corrects concerns related to aging  - Tightens underlying muscle groups - Creates a more youthful-looking smile #### Dr. Pulikkottil is very professional and caring. He is always available for any questions and to explain my surgery at a level I can understand it. Dr. Pulikkottil put together a staff I always look forward to seeing.

Gynecomastia is a common medical concern among men in which glandular tissue becomes enlarged, resulting in feminine-looking chest contours. The condition can occur in men of all ages and is most often due to hormonal imbalance, medications, or the use of certain drugs. Undergoing male breast reduction in Denver is a leading solution for restoring a flat, sculpted chest and our experienced, board-certified plastic surgeons deliver game changing results that strategically transform the upper body. The procedure involves the excision of excess tissue and the removal of fat using [liposuction](https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/body/liposuction/). #### Had a great experience with Ryan and his team. They made the whole process smooth and uplifting. Cannot thank them enough! Zac #### What Are the Advantages of Gynecomastia Treatment? - Restores a sculpted, masculine-looking chest - Trims excessive breast tissue, skin, and fat in the upper body - Allows men to enjoy going shirtless  - Increases social comfort and self-confidence - Provides a more youthful-looking, athletic physique ### What Causes Gynecomastia? Gynecomastia may have different causes in different clients. Commonly, it is due to hormonal imbalances between estrogen and androgen. Low testosterone (hypogonadism) may also contribute to the formation of enlarged breast tissue.  Note that overweight or obese patients may suffer from pseudogynecomastia rather than true glandular tissue enlargement. The following conditions may lead to gynecomastia: - Alcoholism or drug abuse - Steroid use - Adrenal tumors - Kidney disease - Liver disease - Thyroid disease - Klinefelter syndrome (genetic) - Bacterial or fungal infections - Enlarged prostate gland - Certain medications  ### Our World-Class Facility The LaVie Institute of Plastic Surgery houses 8 state-of-the-art clinic suites equipped with cutting-edge technology and a soothing, restorative decor.

Schedule a Consultation ### Denver Labia Restoration With pregnancy, weight loss, and aging, the labial tissue lose their natural firmness. Sagging labial tissue can cause chafing and irritation, inhibit healthy sexual function, and lead to self-consciousness due to their asymmetrical or elongated appearance. Our labiaplasty in Denver is a minor surgical procedure to restore balance in the vaginal region, helping women to regain enjoyment of sports, activities, and intimacy. ### The Diva Labiaplasty Experience The "Diva" labiaplasty often includes the following features: - Customized Surgical Plan: Tailored to the patient’s specific goals and anatomy, focusing on a balance between function and aesthetics. - Precision Techniques: Some surgeons use advanced tools such as laser technology or radiofrequency-assisted devices to achieve smoother edges and minimize bleeding. - Enhanced Recovery Options: Luxury care packages, such as medical-grade aftercare products, lymphatic drainage massages, or access to spa-like recovery suites. - Combination Treatments: Some practices combine labiaplasty with non-surgical treatments such as Diva™ laser therapy (a popular vaginal rejuvenation treatment that improves tissue tightness and reduces dryness using fractionated laser energy). ### Potential Benefits of Diva Labiaplasty - Minimally invasive approach with less visible scarring - Shorter downtime due to advanced techniques - Reduction in discomfort caused by enlarged labia - Enhanced confidence and improved sexual well-being ### Why Do Women Pursue Labiaplasty? Some women suffer a condition called labia minora hypertrophy, which can occur due to genetics, aging, weight loss, or pregnancy/childbirth. When the inner labial tissue sag below the outer labial tissue (labia majora), they may instigate discomfort, irritation, and chafing, inhibiting the patient’s natural movements during exercise, activities, sports, and intercourse. Naturally, some women will pursue our labiaplasty in Denver solely for the cosmetic improvements the procedure brings. The surgery can restore a naturally balanced, symmetrical appearance. Labiaplasty can: - Reduce enlarged labial tissue - Improve labia symmetry - Combat changes due to aging, pregnancy, and weight loss - Relieve discomfort and irritation - Expand participation in activities and sports - Rejuvenate the appearance of the vaginal region #### Dr Daniali is amazing in so many ways! I am very pleased with the final outcome and would highly recommend her. Dr Daniali is very articulate and she is a good listener. She will tell you straight up what is realistic and what is not and she will give you options to consider. I felt very well cared for each time we had an office visit and with each surgery.

Consultation Our team will perform a physical evaluation and a thorough review of your medical history, answering all your questions in depth. We will then create a personalized treatment plan that helps achieve your unique goals for improvement.  #### 2.) Anesthesia Labiaplasty can be performed under general or local anesthesia. We will discuss your options during your private consultation. Your safety and comfort are our utmost priorities. #### 3.) Trim or Wedge Technique Trim: The surgeon will remove redundant labial tissue, suturing the remaining skin along the new edge of the labia structure. The darker portions of the labia are thus excised, making this approach a popular and sought-after solution. Wedge: With this approach, the surgeon removes a triangle-shaped wedge of tissue from both sides of the labia, suturing the incisions afterward. The natural labial edge is preserved while tissue size is decreased. The darker areas of the labia are left undisturbed. #### 4.) Recovery Minor soreness after your labiaplasty is to be expected but can be well-controlled with prescription pain medications provided by your surgeon. You may also encounter mild swelling and bruising that will gradually dissipate within the coming weeks. Most patients take one week off from work and should avoid intercourse and strenuous activities for 4-6 weeks, or as advised by the doctor. ### Labiaplasty with Local Anesthesia Experience a more comfortable, convenient approach to labiaplasty. Many women prefer undergoing the procedure with local anesthesia only, avoiding the risks and downtime that come with general anesthesia. - No general anesthesia required - Faster recovery and minimal downtime - Safe, effective, and discreet procedure - Return to daily activities sooner ### Labiaplasty Results While minor swelling can persist for up to six months, you will be able to begin seeing and feeling improvement within about six weeks. After labiaplasty, there is little visible scarring, as the incisions are well-hidden within the natural folds of the labia and this area typically heals very well. Clients who undergo labiaplasty experience increased self-confidence, a return of enjoyment performing their favorite activities, and a deeper sense of intimate pleasure. ### What Our Patients Say Dr. Lily Daniali is the world's prettiest surgeon. She is great, she understands the idea of making choices with your own body. I felt like she really wanted me to have the results I wanted, not the results she wanted. I have had much worse experiences at other consultations, where I have been dismissed or told I just need to be happy with the way I am. Infuriating. Dr. Daniali outlined a wonderful treatment plan for me, including lipo and a thigh lift for my loose skin. At 23, I should not have any loose skin, and my only wish is to feel normal.

Unlike typical weight loss clinics, each treatment at LaVie is closely monitored by our Double Board Certified Physicians, ensuring that your journey is not only effective but also safe and personalized. These injectable treatments are specifically designed to support healthy weight loss by regulating appetite and enhancing your body’s natural metabolism. With LaVie’s commitment to specialized care and expert supervision, you can trust that you’re receiving the most advanced solutions tailored to your needs. ### What Are Semaglutide and Tirzepatide?  Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are breakthrough injectable medications that promote weight loss by mimicking hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. Originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes, these medications have been shown to help patients achieve significant, sustainable weight loss when combined with a healthy lifestyle. By controlling hunger signals and promoting a feeling of fullness, Semaglutide, and Tirzepatide can make it easier to maintain a calorie deficit and shed excess weight. ### What Are the Benefits of Semaglutide & Tirzepatide? These injectable treatments offer a range of benefits beyond just weight loss. Both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide work with your body’s natural hormones to improve overall health and well-being. Benefits include:   - Significant, sustainable weight loss   - Reduced appetite and food cravings   - Improved blood sugar regulation   - Enhanced metabolism and fat loss   - Long-term support for healthy lifestyle changes   ### Schedule a Consultation Contact Us ### What Can Semaglutide and Tirzepatide Do for Me?   These treatments can be life-changing for individuals struggling with their weight. Whether you’ve hit a plateau in your weight loss journey or need extra support in controlling cravings, Semaglutide and Tirzepatide offer a scientifically proven method to help you reach your goals. Patients often notice a reduction in hunger and more consistent weight loss without feeling deprived. ### Who Is a Good Candidate for Semaglutide & Tirzepatide? These treatments are ideal for individuals who have struggled to achieve or maintain weight loss through diet and exercise alone. If you have a BMI of 27 or higher and are looking for additional support in reaching your weight loss goals, you may be a good candidate for Semaglutide or Tirzepatide Ideal candidates:   - Have a BMI of 27 or higher   - Struggle with food cravings or overeating   - Are looking for non-surgical weight loss options   - Are committed to long-term lifestyle changes   - Are in good overall health  ### How Do Semaglutide and Tirzepatide Work?  Semaglutide and Tirzepatide mimic the hormones GLP-1 and GIP, which regulate blood sugar levels and appetite. By stimulating these hormones, the medications slow gastric emptying, increase insulin sensitivity, and suppress hunger signals. The result is a feeling of fullness after smaller meals, which helps control calorie intake and promotes weight loss. ### Recovery and Results   Because Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are non-surgical treatments, there is no downtime. You can return to your normal activities immediately after each injection. Patients typically experience steady weight loss over the course of their treatment, with significant results becoming noticeable within 3 to 6 months. Long-term use of the medication can help you maintain your weight loss and support lasting lifestyle changes. ### Your Weight Loss Consultation   At the LaVie Institute of Plastic Surgery, we believe in providing personalized care to help you achieve your weight loss goals. During your consultation, our Double Board Certified Physicians will assess your medical history, discuss your weight loss challenges, and determine if Semaglutide or Tirzepatide is the right option for you. We’ll explain how the treatment works, what you can expect, and how to maximize your results with a healthy diet and exercise plan. At times, patients come in for consultation for body contouring surgery, and if their BMI is not appropriate for an ideal outcome, these medications can be a part of a custom treatment plan to help them reach their ultimate body goals and become a better candidate for surgical body contouring. ### Why Discerning Patients Choose The LaVie Institute of Plastic Surgery   At the LaVie Institute of Plastic Surgery, we are dedicated to providing our patients with the most advanced treatments for achieving their aesthetic and health goals.

After being referred to Dr. Pulikkottil by my derm, within a few minutes of being in the office I knew I was in good hands!

I was also impressed with the efficiency and professionalism of the entire staff. I believe the office is well-managed and organized. #### Iryna Wonderful help with my breast cancer. #### Anonymous I had been needing to replace my breast implants and knew a lift and possible reconstruction were necessary. From my first visit to Dr. Lily’s office, I felt at ease. The staff, including Tati and Bobbie Jo, were incredibly caring and professional. Dr. Lily’s compassion, expertise, and attention to detail impressed me during my consultation. After surgery, I couldn’t be happier with the results—she truly understood my desired look, and my scars are barely visible. The OR team eased my nerves. I’m so grateful for the exceptional care I received! #### Loretta Krieves From start to finish, I had an amazing experience here.

The entire experience, from the moment I walked in, was fantastic.

I had Vaser liposuction performed on my neck and am two weeks postoperative, and am so impressed with the results. They have an onsite surgical room where my procedure was performed and everything is high-tech and state of the art. If you are looking for a reputable clinic with a compassionate doctor, look no further. #### Silversun K Dr. Lily Daniali is the world's prettiest surgeon. She is great, she understands the idea of making choices with your own body. I felt like she really wanted me to have the results I wanted, not the results she wanted. I have had much worse experiences at other consultations, where I have been dismissed or told I just need to be happy with the way I am. Infuriating. Dr. Daniali outlined a wonderful treatment plan for me, including lipo and a thigh lift for my loose skin. At 23, I should not have any loose skin, and my only wish is to feel normal. Thanks to LaVie Institute for being so understanding #### Addison Brady First of all, the facility is absolutely beautiful and I love that surgery takes place there as well as visits with the doctor. Dr. Pulikkottil was the 3rd Dr. I spoke with about my potential breast augmentation.

I'm now a week out from surgery and I absolutely love my results. Dr. P did an absolutely amazing job.

It’s the right choice for both the institute and the surgeon! #### OngBa Chinh Dr. Endress and his team really put you and your needs first.

Team members were available every day and were very responsive and went out of their way to make sure everything went well. Technical/surgical quality of the physicians was outstanding and unparalleled in my experience. #### Eric S. Dr. Pulikkottil was simply outstanding. From our first meeting, even over zoom, I knew I was working with an experienced professional. On the day of the surgery, I appreciated his calm demeanor and comforting words. He met with me before and after and discussed the entire process and told me what to expect for recovery. The results speak for themselves. He and his entire staff are simply the best and I would not even consider going anywhere else. #### Jason S. Such an amazing experience from the start. Dr. Daniali had done my mom's breast reconstructive surgery and did such an amazing job that I knew there was nobody else that I wanted to do my abdominal reconstruction when I needed it done. She takes pride in her work and her attention to detail surpasses any other. She helped settle my nerves before surgery and has a very calming demeanor. The follow up care also has been exceptional. I’m not left wondering what steps I ever need to take because she is right there by your side from start to finish. #### DeAnna S. Dr. Danili & staff are amazing. They did such amazing work. Their work repaired not just injury, but also my self-esteem as well. I would recommend them all the time. So calming, friendly, and caring. #### Hillary L.

You’re in good hands. #### Tanna Donalson I recently had surgery with Dr. Endress. I’m so impressed with his bedside manner! My results are amazing as well.

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is among the most requested and frequently performed surgeries in the world. Our tummy tuck in Denver is designed to remove excess skin that has accumulated in the midsection after aging, pregnancy, or weight loss. The underlying muscles are tightened, and the belly button is repositioned in a more youthful and attractive location. Many surgeons will use liposuction in tandem with excision to remove pockets of stubborn fat that don’t respond to dieting and workouts, further sculpting and contouring the area. ### Abdominal Muscle (Rectus Diastsis) Correction While pregnancy is a life-affirming event, it can also take a significant toll on the figure. Bulging contours, and excess drooping skin are among the cosmetic results of childbirth. A common problem is diastasis recti, or the separation of the six-pack muscles (rectus abdominis.) This can not only create aesthetic concerns but can also cause lower back pain, herniation, incontinence, and digestive disorders.  Diastasis recti repair surgery can help restore a woman’s comfort, peace of mind, and quality of life. It is performed in combination with a tummy tuck to comprehensviely rejuvenate the midsection. Through abdominoplasty, the defect is permanently corrected, bringing the two sides of the rectus abdominis together, tightening and reshaping the belly. If a hernia repair is also required, it can be completed at this time. ### Types of Tummy Tucks #### Full Abdominoplasty A full tummy tuck delivers dramatic contouring results by removing redundant skin folds, firming the abdominal muscles, and trimming excess fatty tissue. It can also address stretch marks that lie below the navel. #### Mini Abdominoplasty A partial, or “mini” tummy tuck, is performed with a shorter incision and addresses skin folds below the navel. The belly button is not repositioned as it is during a full abdominoplasty.  #### Extended Abdominoplasty This procedure combines a traditional tummy tuck with contouring for the flanks, hips, and lateral thighs to create dramatic changes from every angle. Liposuction can be used to further sculpt and refine the torso.  #### Dr. Pulikkottil is an amazing doctor! Very professional and very friendly! He answered all my questions and made me feel so comfortable instantly. My stress level was reduced instantly! I thank God for placing Dr. Pulikkottil in my life.  Angelica Rodriguez ### Why Choose The LaVie Institute of Plastic Surgery?

How long will I need someone to help care for me after the surgery? What activities should I avoid after my surgery? And for how long? How long should I expect to be out of work? How long will I be sore from the surgery? How long until the swelling goes down? How long until the final results of the surgery are visible? How many follow-up visits should I expect? What is the price range for cosmetic and reconstructive surgery procedures? What are your Virtual/Telehealth consultations like? ### What is the difference between cosmetic and reconstructive surgery? Cosmetic surgery reshapes typical structures of the body to improve appearance and self-esteem.  Reconstructive surgery is performed on abnormal structures of the body caused by: - Congenital disabilities - Developmental abnormalities - Trauma - Infection - Tumors - Disease Reconstructive surgery is performed to improve function but may also be completed to restore the patient’s appearance approximately. ### How long will I need someone to help care for me after the surgery? You will need someone with you for 24 hours following the procedure because you will be recovering from anesthesia during this time, and someone must drive you home. After that, you will likely need assistance with your day-to-day activities for the next six weeks. ### What activities should I avoid after my surgery? And for how long? For at least six weeks following your surgery, you should avoid the following: - Heavy lifting, which is anything over 20lbs - Pushing or pulling heavy objects - Exercising, other than light walking You will also need to wear a compression garment for those six weeks, depending on which plastic surgery procedure you underwent. Generally, you can resume everyday activities as soon as you feel comfortable doing so. ### How long should I expect to be out of work? How long you’ll be out of work depends on the type of surgery you have and your work. However, you should plan to take between three days and two weeks off of work. Breast augmentation patients commonly return to light, sedentary work within three days, while more invasive surgeries like Brazilian butt lifts and mommy makeovers require at least fourteen days. ### How long will I be sore from the surgery? Post-surgery soreness largely depends on the surgery you selected. Inflammation usually peaks three days after surgery, when swelling and pain begin to subside. ### How long until the swelling goes down? Initial swelling starts to subside about two weeks after surgery, but wound healing can take six to twelve months. An example is how the swelling from a breast augmentation lasts approximately two weeks, but the implants remain high on the chest wall for up to three months before dropping into the resting position over the breast fold. ### How long until the final results of the surgery are visible? You’ll likely see the final results of your surgery after three months, with minimal changes until the 6-month mark. ### How many follow-up visits should I expect? You will have your first follow-up appointment at one-week post-op, then another at two to three months. More appointments may be scheduled as needed. ### What is the price range for cosmetic and reconstructive surgery procedures? Price ranges significantly depending on the type of surgery being performed. While pricing estimates are available for all of our most popular procedures, these quotes are dependent on your case and the extent of treatment. Quotes for plastic surgery include: - All pre-op evaluations - Photos - Visitation with staff & doctor - Surgical garments - Anesthesia ### What are your Virtual/Telehealth consultations like? The LaVie Institute provides virtual/telehealth consultations, connecting patients to a lifeline for a wide range of treatment options that can make a difference in their lives. We are committed to using technology to bridge communication gaps and make care as convenient, streamlined, and stress-free as possible. --- ## Host an Event URL: https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/resources/host-an-event/ Description: We are excited to introduce exclusive aesthetic event hosting, offering a luxurious and private experience for our guests.

Her level of expertise with medical aesthetics is truly admirable. I appreciate her attention to detail and support throughout my treatments! If you’re in search of an esthetician who is result-driven with a combination of knowledge, professionalism, and a great touch, Cierra is the one! Trixie J Dr. Pulikkottil is wonderful. He has taken great care of a couple of my patients I have referred to him, and more on the way. I’ve seen him myself and trust him implicitly. I’m a PA in this industry and have been for a long time and have certainly felt unsettled about practitioners along the way for various reasons, but have no reservations at all about sending any of my patients to him. You’re in good hands. Tanna Donalson I recently had surgery with Dr. Endress. I’m so impressed with his bedside manner! My results are amazing as well. His team, Tatiana, Celine, Maddie, Rachel, and David are amazing. They walked me through the process over a few months and on surgery day, I was prepared and ready to go. Their prices are reasonable for this type of surgery as well. I highly recommend this office if you’re considering any cosmetic surgery. Gina Janeczek A tummy tuck was on my bucket list for years. After meeting with other surgeons, I chose Dr. Pulikkottil. I realized after our consultation he was the surgeon for me. He took his time with me. I didn’t feel rushed. He answered any questions or concerns and explained things while making me feel less anxious. He's an amazing surgeon, extremely intelligent, and has a great bedside manner! The 5★ staff is amazing! All were incredibly helpful, professional, and made me feel at ease from the start. The facility itself is stunning and brilliantly designed! I’m 12 days post-op and can’t believe the results! Dr. Pulikkottil and staff are highly recommended! Sandi Dougherty I was so nervous and didn’t know exactly what I wanted. I felt confident leaving with a better understanding and knowledge. The staff is amazing and makes you feel safe and answered all my questions. Deborah Flook The entire team at LaVie is knowledgeable, kind, and professional. The surgeons are absolutely stellar. The staff will make you feel welcome and understood, ensuring you receive exactly what you are looking for! Not to mention, their facility is spectacular with gorgeous Mountain Views. Ben Rucker Wonderful experience. Dr. Pulikkottil listened to my concerns and came up with a game plan that suited my needs. Great results! Look forward to a continued partnership over the years to come. Lysa Dr. Tek was absolutely amazing along with the staff at LaVie. I would highly recommend! Tyler Cole Everyone is very professional and helpful. I liked that the Dr. was present during all appointments to guide me and help me decide the options I had. The clinic is very clean and nice. Maria Zavala I recently had a consultation at Dr. Benson Pulikkottil’s office, and my experience was exceptional from start to finish. The staff was incredibly kind and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. They were attentive, interpersonal, and took the time to address any questions I had. The office itself is absolutely stunning, with a serene and ambient atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. I’m beyond impressed with the care and professionalism of the entire team and would highly recommend Dr. Benson Pulikkottil and his wonderful staff! Katie Inthavong I couldn’t have asked for a better team for my first ever surgery! They are very thorough in answering questions and compassionate. Just amazing! Geraldine Orozco Dr. Pulikkottil and all of his colleagues at LaVie are amazing. After being referred to Dr. Pulikkottil by my derm, within a few minutes of being in the office I knew I was in good hands! He took the time to explain everything, made me feel comfortable, and helped manage expectations for my procedure and scarring. The procedure was fast and painless and my incision is healing beautifully with likely minimal scarring despite 11 stitches. Highly recommend! Madeline Anderson I appreciated the time and all the information that Dr. Daniali provided to address my questions thoroughly. I was also impressed with the efficiency and professionalism of the entire staff. I believe the office is well-managed and organized. Iryna Wonderful help with my breast cancer. Anonymous I had been needing to replace my breast implants and knew a lift and possible reconstruction were necessary. From my first visit to Dr. Lily’s office, I felt at ease. The staff, including Tati and Bobbie Jo, were incredibly caring and professional. Dr. Lily’s compassion, expertise, and attention to detail impressed me during my consultation. After surgery, I couldn’t be happier with the results—she truly understood my desired look, and my scars are barely visible. The OR team eased my nerves. I’m so grateful for the exceptional care I received! Loretta Krieves From start to finish, I had an amazing experience here. Dr. Tek and his team are professional, empathetic, and very good at what they do. They listened closely to my questions and concerns, addressing each one directly to find solutions. I’m also extremely satisfied with the results so far, and the pricing here is way more reasonable than many other institutes I explored. I would highly recommend Dr. Tek and the LaVie Institute for elective surgery. Caitlin I can’t speak highly enough of the LaVie Institute and Dr. Pulikkottil. The entire experience, from the moment I walked in, was fantastic. The staff was friendly and efficient, and Dr. Pulikkottil was not only knowledgeable but also took the time to address all my questions and concerns. I had Vaser liposuction performed on my neck and am two weeks postoperative, and am so impressed with the results. They have an onsite surgical room where my procedure was performed and everything is high-tech and state of the art. If you are looking for a reputable clinic with a compassionate doctor, look no further. Silversun K Dr. Lily Daniali is the world's prettiest surgeon. She is great, she understands the idea of making choices with your own body. I felt like she really wanted me to have the results I wanted, not the results she wanted. I have had much worse experiences at other consultations, where I have been dismissed or told I just need to be happy with the way I am. Infuriating. Dr. Daniali outlined a wonderful treatment plan for me, including lipo and a thigh lift for my loose skin. At 23, I should not have any loose skin, and my only wish is to feel normal. Thanks to LaVie Institute for being so understanding Addison Brady First of all, the facility is absolutely beautiful and I love that surgery takes place there as well as visits with the doctor. Dr. Pulikkottil was the 3rd Dr. I spoke with about my potential breast augmentation. Not only did he make me feel extremely comfortable with him as a Dr., but he took the time to help me feel comfortable with the procedure, what realistically could be done, and calmed any fears I might have had. I'm now a week out from surgery and I absolutely love my results. Dr. P did an absolutely amazing job. The office staff, nurses, massage therapist—everyone has taken such great care of me! 10/10 Recommend! Allison Malley I only got Botox done, but I feel like Dr. Pulikkottil listened to my concerns and desires for the outcome of my treatment. Together we developed a plan to meet my goals and stay within my price range. The application was very clean and smooth and afterward, there were great results that met my expectations and there were no adverse effects that you sometimes hear about. Would definitely come back for more consultations and procedures. Arielle Pham Have had an excellent experience with Dr. Pulikkottil and his team! The service has been 10/10 and I am thrilled with my upper bleph results. Highly recommend. Lindsay Gayman Amazing staff. No high-pressure selling. Very knowledgeable and explained what to expect for my procedure. Dr. Endress answered all of my questions, which put me at ease regarding the surgery. Patricia Criddle. Elaine Criddle I had an incredible experience with Dr. Endress for my eyelid surgery. The knowledge, expertise, and great bedside manners provided made all the difference, from start to finish. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Endress to anyone considering eyelid surgery. And the beautiful office space is an added bonus! The surgery already improved the image, just within two weeks, and has made a big difference in my feeling. It’s the right choice for both the institute and the surgeon! OngBa Chinh Dr. Endress and his team really put you and your needs first. Their communication with me has been excellent from day one, they answered all of my questions, and I felt very supported through my procedure and aftercare. I am so grateful. Highly recommend!! Lindsey T All the staff are very nice and helpful. Hala Gendy Seeking a refreshed look, the consultation was thorough and informative; Dr. Endress took the time to answer all my questions and I never felt rushed. The surgical team and facility are top-notch, making me feel comfortable and confident in their care. Thankful I did my due diligence and found LaVie. Joanne Walton LaVie Institute is amazing from the moment you walk in from the decor, the staff, and providers. Dr. Pulikkottil did an amazing job on my mole removal on my chest and I am very happy with the results! Katie Chmielewski I got my upper eyelids done by Dr. Pulikkottil and my experience was great. He and his team worked together to make sure I was very comfortable with the procedure. All of my questions were answered quickly and thoroughly. Dr. Pulikkottil called me numerous times during my recovery to check on me and answer any questions I had. I felt I could trust him and he did an amazing job on my eyelids. I highly recommend Dr. Pulikkottil for any plastic surgery you’re considering. Kory Lynn Wonderful experience. Dr Pulikkottil listened to my concerns and came up with a game plan the suited my needs. Great results! Look forward to a continued partnership over the years to come! Lysa Every one is very professional and helpful. I liked that the Dr. was present during all appointments to guide me and help me decide the options I had. The clinic is very clean and nice. Maria I couldn’t have asked for a better team for my first ever surgery! They are very thorough in answering questions and compassionate. Just amazing! Geraldine For the longest time I have needed to replace my breast implants. I knew I was going to need a lift and some possible reconstruction. From the moment I stepped into Dr. Lily's office I felt at ease. Each and every staff member I came into contact with was caring and professional, and made me feel so comfortable, starting with reception. Loretta From start to finish, I had an amazing experience here. Dr. Tek and his team are professional, empathetic, and very good at what they do. They listened closely to my questions and concerns, addressing each one directly to find solutions. I’m also extremely satisfied with the results so far, and the pricing here is way more reasonable than many other institutes I explored. I would highly recommend Dr. Tek and the LaVie Institute for elective surgery. Caitlin I have had the best experience with Dr. Przylecki. I literally couldn't have asked for better. I went in and had almost no wait to get into the room. His staff is excellent; very friendly. He didn't put me through any unnecessary testing and listened to my concerns. My expectations were definitely exceeded and I would recommend Dr. Przylecki to anyone! Shayna Dr. Endress is the best surgeon I've ever had. He did surgery on my left arm and did an amazing job. It wasn't long until I got full range of motion back and back to work and I work in a warehouse with lots of lifting. If you have problems with your wrist or hand like carpal tunnel I would definitely recommend Dr. Endress to any and everyone! Tristan W. Outstanding physicians. Was seen immediately. Very compassionate team. Took care of setting everything up and solving my problem very quickly. Team members were available every day and were very responsive and went out of their way to make sure everything went well. Technical/surgical quality of the physicians was outstanding and unparalleled in my experience. Eric S. Dr. Pulikkottil was simply outstanding. From our first meeting, even over zoom, I knew I was working with an experienced professional. On the day of the surgery, I appreciated his calm demeanor and comforting words. He met with me before and after and discussed the entire process and told me what to expect for recovery. The results speak for themselves. He and his entire staff are simply the best and I would not even consider going anywhere else. Jason S. Such an amazing experience from the start. Dr. Daniali had done my mom's breast reconstructive surgery and did such an amazing job that I knew there was nobody else that I wanted to do my abdominal reconstruction when I needed it done. She takes pride in her work and her attention to detail surpasses any other. She helped settle my nerves before surgery and has a very calming demeanor. The follow up care also has been exceptional. I’m not left wondering what steps I ever need to take because she is right there by your side from start to finish. DeAnna S. Dr. Danili & staff are amazing. They did such amazing work. Their work repaired not just injury, but also my self-esteem as well. I would recommend them all the time. So calming, friendly, and caring. Hillary L. Dr. Daniali is one of the best doctors I have ever seen and I have seen many doctors in my 68 years. She is a very talented doctor, with double board certifications, which is a rare thing. As a surgeon, I found her careful, meticulous and very methodical. As a person, she is very caring, compassionate, a great listener and genuinely wants the best for her patients. I highly recommend Dr. Daniali Mowafak A. --- # Contact ## Cosmetic Form URL: https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/contact/cosmetic-form/ Description: Thank You ## Book Your Cosmetic Consultation [(720) 773-4408](tel:+17207734408) [10535 Park Meadows Blvd. #350 Lone Tree, CO 80124](https://www.google.com/maps/place/The+LaVie+Institute+%7C+Plastic+Surgery+in+Denver/@39.5302163,-104.8742729,15z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x876c85e055fcb41d:0xefa52b0d56ce779c!8m2!3d39.5302163!4d-104.8742729!16s%2Fg%2F11y28n4h40?entry=ttu) --- ## Reconstructive and Nerve Surgery Appointment URL: https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/contact/form/ Description: Thank You [(720) 773-4408](tel:+17207734408) [10535 Park Meadows Blvd. #350 Lone Tree, CO 80124](https://www.google.com/maps/place/The+LaVie+Institute+%7C+Plastic+Surgery+in+Denver/@39.5302163,-104.8742729,15z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x876c85e055fcb41d:0xefa52b0d56ce779c!8m2!3d39.5302163!4d-104.8742729!16s%2Fg%2F11y28n4h40?entry=ttu) --- ## Thank You URL: https://www.lavieplasticsurgery.com/contact/signed-up/ Description: Thank You ## Success!

A thread lift procedure involves injecting fine surgical threads beneath the deepest layer of the skin, known as the subcutaneous layer. The treatment can address sagging skin in the midface and jaw area without using incisions or anesthesia. It is known to create a more vibrant appearance without any scarring or lengthy downtime. Patients are able to avoid the risks of surgery while achieving revitalizing results that enhance confidence and restore a positive self-image. The treatment is popular because it provides an immediate lift while at the same time stimulating new collagen production for long term structural support. Collagen is a vital protein in the body that gives the skin its elasticity, fullness, and hydrated glow. Throughout the aging process, this important compound is exhausted, giving the complexion a hollow and dull appearance. A thread lift is highly regarded for its ability to rejuvenate the skin from the inside out. ### What Areas Can Be Treated? - Cheeks and midface  - Jowls, jawline, and lower face - Brows - Neck - The area around the eyes - Mouth corners - Nasolabial folds #### What Is The Thread Lift Procedure Like? The thread lift procedure usually only lasts about 30 to 90 minutes and can be completed without using general anesthesia, decreasing the risk of complications. During your session, the threads are inserted into small incisions and then attached to the underlying tissue, lifting the sagging contours to create a tight, smooth facial aesthetic. This procedure provides an immediate lift. After the threads have been cut, they remain below the skin’s surface, and any scarring is invisible. #### What Are The Benefits? - No incisions or anesthesia  - Minimally invasive with little downtime - Lifts drooping skin in the midface and jawline - A good alternative to conventional facelift surgery - Treats fine lines and wrinkles - Addresses poor skin texture and tone - Results can last up to 4 years - Improves the patient’s self-image ### Thread Types #### Barbed Threads Barbed threads are used to lift sagging cheeks, restoring youthfulness. These threads trigger collagen production to strengthen the skin’s substructure.  #### Smooth Threads Smooth threads can be crisscrossed in a pattern that replenishes collagen reserves. This process results in stronger, tighter skin while minimizing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.  ### Who is a Good Candidate? Patients dealing with early signs of aging who desire the results of a surgical facelift without the pain, recovery period, and surgical risks may find what they’re looking for in a thread lift. Ideal candidates for this procedure are non-smokers in good physical and mental health who have pragmatic expectations for the outcome of the procedure.  ### What Can I Expect After The Treatment? Following a thread lift procedure, it is normal to experience some mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort. However, these after-effects are mostly only noticeable to the patient and their practitioner. They can be managed and tolerated with painkillers and Arnica (a homeopathic remedy). Strenuous activity, such as vigorous exercise, should be avoided for 2 to 3 weeks. Patients that have important events on their calendars should schedule the thread lift at a time that will not interfere with public appearances. The threads are gradually absorbed over a period of about 9 months. ### When Can I See My Results? Results generally appear quickly following the procedure. The skin begins to look more youthful and lifted with a more aesthetically appealing tone. With time, collagen production accelerates, strengthening the skin’s structure from within and tightening the pores.  #### Dr. Daniali is kind, warm, and compassionate.
