Amazing Experience with Face and Neck Lift - I wasn't happy for some time with how saggy and loose the skin on my neck was, how I didn't have a defined jawline, and how deep my smile lines were, therefore I wanted to look more relaxed and rejuvenated before my 50th birthday. After visiting a couple of other facial surgeons, I met with Dr. Kowalczyk and was amazed by his expertise and professionalism. I wanted my surgery to be before the holidays and he was able to fit me in and my surgery ended up being November 28, 2022 exactly a month before the holidays and the exact time I wanted to have it done! He made me feel comfortable and I was confident he would do a great job. I was right, all of my expectations were met and more with his work. It didn't end there, the post-operative care was amazing from his and his staff and rest of team! I felt supported throughout the whole journey. There was always someone who answered the phone, not just a machine, no matter the time of day I always had someone pick up the phone. They addressed all of my worries and questions after the surgery. Also, the checkups with Dr. Kowalczyk were frequent because he wanted to make sure everything was healing well. Even today, 6 months post op I still go to my follow ups with him because even though I feel great now and everything is healed, he still wants to see my progress and make sure everything has healed and looks great. He always enters the room with a smile and with such a positive attitude and goes above and beyond for his patients to be happy with his work. I definitely recommend Dr. Kowalczyk to anyone wanting a face/neck lift as I am so grateful and happy with my surgery and results! Sincerely, Claudia T. More
Dr.Kowalczyk performed a zplasty to improve the look of my turkey neck. Everything was well explained prior to the surgery and it was a painless process. Recovery was fairly swift, and just a couple of ibuprofen for 2 or 3 days were needed. The results are great. He provided a couple of follow-up checkups. Now precisely one month after the procedure the results are.... No turkey neck, Smooth looking firm skin and a tiny, nearly invisible scar. Office staff were also great to work with and knowledgeable. My work schedule changed and they were quite helpful rescheduling a couple of appointments. Overall 5 stars and pleased with the results. Highly recommend this office for their face surgery and advice. More
I had my surgery done beginning of January 2023. My surgeon was Dr. Imola. He is a great doctor and definitely knows what he is doing. I felt very comfortable and I was pleased with my result. Nobody could tell I had a plastic surgery done, it looks very natural. I highly recommend Dr. Imola and his coordinators are also welcoming and always tried to help with everything they could help. Well deserved 5+ stars!! Thank you! More
I am now able to breathe and feeling healthy. - I’m absolutely Pleased with my results. I had deviated septum surgery/Septoplasty on March 6,2023.I am now able to breathe and feeling healthy.Dr. K, took time to explain the procedure, he addressed all my concerns and questions.Dr. K is a very down to earth personable doctor!!Thank you !! More
A gifted surgeon with an artists’ touch. I also love the office and all office personnel. I have had a couple of procedures done on my face as well as my daughter who had Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis and needed her jaw joints replaced. He worked with an oral surgeon and did an amazing job - giving her back her beautiful jaw line. Highly recommend!!!! More
The perfect experience with unbelievable natural results. Dr. Imola is a true artist and he fully exceeded my expectations. Lisa, his wonderful coordinator was a key player throughout my whole journey as well, from my consultation to my last post-op. I was so nervous about everything, mainly having an unnatural looking result. What I appreciate about Dr. Imola is he took his time to listen and address my questions and concerns. He cares about his patients and it shows. I love my results and feel more confident in my appearance. My only regret it not doing it sooner. If you're on the fence...just do it! I would absolutely, without hesitation recommend Dr. Imola. 5 stars all day! More
Cannot speak highly enough of my experience - I had elected for buccal fat removal and was very intentional in seeking out a plastic surgeon that exclusively performed facial procedures. Dr. K and his practice were a perfect fit for my needs. I appreciated his knowledge, experience, and candor. It was an easy and straightforward procedure, and I’m so pleased with my results. Dr. K has a wonderful practice, staffed with the nicest people between the front desk and the exam room. They ensure all needs are met, and all questions/concerns addressed from the initial consult, to the procedure, and throughout your post-op care (Lisa, especially, going above and beyond!). I cannot speak highly enough of my experience and would recommend Dr. K to anyone considering facial reconstruction. More
I came to Dr. Imola on a reference from a friend who had an eyebrow lift and upper and lower blepharoplasty. Her results were amazing. I was so grateful to have a recommendation as I was very nervous to begin this path but so desperately wanted to improve the look of my upper eyes. The entire staff was wonderful and put me at ease immediately. Dr. Imola really listened to my concerns about healing and my desire to be conservative in my treatment. Fast forward three weeks post surgery and I feel like a new person who looks like I have finally gotten enough sleep! I closely followed Dr. Imola's pre and post surgery instructions and believe that helped in my smooth recovery process. I appreciated Dr. Imola team's follow up. They checked in with me throughout the recovery process which was so comforting. I have received many compliments from others that have had their upper eyes done. I love to share my story as it has made such a difference in my everyday interactions and selfies! Thank you Dr. Imola and team! More

Dr. Kowalczyk is great! I highly recommend this place. He has an artists eye when it comes to the facial procedures. So glad I decided to move forward with my genioplasty with him! The team and doctors here are awesome and they made me feel very comfortable. More
Very kind doctor - super happy with my results - Dr. Kowalczyk is an amazing doctor! He was very kind and understood what I was asking for. He answered any questions I had and I felt so much better about my decision to move forward with him after my first consultation. He has an eye for this and I am super happy with my results! The staff as well was great. An awesome team! More
Dr Kowalczyk and his team were amazing throughout the entire process. I went in to get my deviated septum corrected with a few cosmetic corrections as well. I am so happy with how my nose is looking 10 months post op. It looks super natural and my breathing has definitely improved. They were always there to answer any questions and address any concerns I had. Great experience overall. I definitely would recommend!! More

Revision rhinoplasty 1 year post-op - did exactly what I wanted! - I had a revision rhinoplasty with Dr K. Dr K listen to all my concerns and did exactly what I wanted! During the recovery process his staff Lauren and Lisa texted me several times to see how I was doing and provided tips to heal faster . The entire team is amazing! More
Dr. Kowalczyk performed a facial fat transfer on me recently, and I’m absolutely thrilled with the results! I was drawn to the procedure because of its longevity (5-10 years) and because it’s all natural (using my own body fat.) I look rejuvenated, more youthful, and much less gaunt and tired. At 48 years old, I’m a very active, slender person, and I had lost much of the youthful fat in my face over the years. My cheeks are once again plump and supple, but not in any way overdone. And my skin just glows! Dr. K. listened closely to what my goals and hopes were, and boy did he deliver! Throughout the whole process I knew I was in the most capable and caring hands!! More

Dr. Imola is a true facial artist. I have no regrets, except not doing it sooner!!! If you're thinking about a neck lift/mini lift (which is what I had), stop wondering whether to to do. You're in great hands with this surgeon and his incredible staff!! More
Amazing Botox! Ever since going to their office, my skin glows! - Dr. Kowalczyk and his staff are the absolute best! They are always willing to work around my schedule. Ever since I’ve been going to their office, my skin glows! Dr. Kowalczyk and his team have made me so much more confident in myself. Their skin care products are amazing, gentle on the skin and last for months! More
Wanted to defy the effects of aging and embrace better skin care - I started on this journey approximately a year ago for my 50th birthday…wanting to defy the effects of aging and embracing better skin care… I started with a few chemical peels and had three rounds of Botox… The entire staff was amazing…. very welcoming and friendly….they all gave plenty of direction to what helps and where to put your $$…. their skin care products are amazing… Often the same price as what you would find at Ulta or Sephora…. I work in the operating room and recognize the gifted hands of a surgeon… Subtle changes are what you want when dealing with facial plastic surgery… Again the entire staff was amazing… Often accommodating my crazy schedule… I am a customer for life! More
He designed a treatment plan tailored to exactly what I needed - I went in for my first time getting Botox, and I was a little nervous. Dr Kowalczyk took the time to sit with me and educate me on how it works! I immediately felt so much more comfortable. I told him the areas that bothered me, and he gave me some great suggestions with his expert opinion. He really listened to what I was looking for and designed a treatment plan tailored to exactly what I needed. The process was quick and easy, and he made the appointment enjoyable as well. I loved the teamwork of this visit, and I am already looking forward to my next visit. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr K to anyone looking for injectables and facial plastic surgery as well. It was exactly what I was looking for and more! More
First Time Botox Recipient - Dr. K was great. It was my first time getting botox and he explained the procedure along with the benefits and risks. His explanations for all my questions were thorough and informed. 10/10 would recommend seeing Dr. K! More
No more breathing issues or headaches, plus a straighter nose - Triple Win - I went to see Dr. Kowalczyk about 7 months ago to fix my broken nose from a bad fall. My septum was significantly deviated and I had major breathing troubles and headaches. Functionality was my main focus. Dr. Kowalczyk fixed my septum and it ended up straightening my crooked nose a ton. No more breathing issues or headaches, plus a straighter nose. Triple win. More
This experience was truly life-changing - it restored my confidence - I went to eleven different plastic surgeons and received eleven different consultations. All of them denied me. They felt my case was too difficult and they didn't want to get involved.But, Dr. Imola took my case. The day after my consultation I went home crying just filled with raw emotion, relief, and hope. The staff more specifically Imola himself, Lisa, Lauren, and Ashley became like my second family! They walked me through the entire procedure and the healing process. They even called me after my procedure to make sure I was doing okay the day after. Even though my procedure was extensive the pain was more minimal than I thought it was going to be. The incisions are practically invisible and this is barely the third month. Dr. Imola and his staff are sincere and caring people and in addition to this, they are experts in their field of work. Just have a look at my before and after photos. As you can see before I had depression in my forehead, leaving my forehead especially susceptible to injury and an uneven brow bone. Now I no longer have depression in my forehead. As well as now I have a symmetrical and even brow bone. Since my procedure, I can finally feel confident and comfortable in my skin. I no longer have people asking or staring at my forehead wondering what happened to me.This experience was truly life-changing, it restored my confidence, and ensured the protection of my skull. I definitely recommend visiting this office for any of your cosmetic needs. Trust me you will be in great hands! More
The results were better than I could ever have imagined - Whooo Hoooo! I couldn't be happier with the fantastic results of my face lift. Dr. K and his entire team were extremely knowledgeable, personable, kind, and most important of all, patient. If I could, I'd give them 500 stars instead of 5. Dr. K did an unbelievable job of explaining everything to me by showing me exactly what the procedure entailed on a computer and what the post-op would be like. The results were better than I could ever have imagined! I never felt rushed or "encouraged" to get it done. Lauren, the amazing Patient Coordinator, was so kind and responsive when my caregiver texted her about every concern I had during the first week of healing. From Marisol and Paxton at the front desk smiling and greeting me by name at every visit, to Lisa and Sarah with their wonderfully effective bruise treatments, to Sarah K.'s fantastic post-op care, I felt medically "hugged" from start to finish. My family and friends say I look 15 years younger, and I have to agree with them! More
I went to Dr Imola for Facial Fat transfer procedure. I was mainly concerned about coming out of the situation looking "fake" or unnatural. The process of recovery for this treatment was long but I liked working with Dr Imola especially on the second round of injections and deciding just how much more fat to inject. I love the result and the long lasting benefits of this procedure and appreciate Dr Imola who cares about the result but also did just enough adding to my cheekbones a little and still looks natural. I would recommend this process to anyone who can sacrifice a little short term down time for long term beautiful results. More
Dr. Imola performed a reconstruction on my twisted nose as a result of 2 previous nasal septal surgeries 20 years ago by different surgeons. Dr. Imola is meticulous, precise and the utmost professional. With his amazing surgical expertise, I now have a beautiful nose and I can breathe effortlessly. More
Dr. Mario Imola and his team are absolutely fantastic. They take their time, discuss what your wants are and don’t push anything on you that you don’t need. Honest and straightforward… plus he did excellent on my Botox and fillers! I’m so happy I found this place. More
I am 9 months post op from a 5th revision rhinoplasty with Dr. Imola and I couldn’t be happier. He honestly gave me my life back and I am forever grateful. I had a combined 4 previous surgeries with two different doctors. The first 3 were minor tipplasties and the 4th was a major one that went really wrong. I was left with a wide/flat and droopy looking nose that I couldn’t breath out of and the cartilage was so deformed that I kept getting infections. Living with this mistake consumed my life and made me miss out on so many great moments. Rhinoplasty is the most complicated cosmetic procedure, especially revisions, and while I knew it’d be a huge risk, I just wanted my life back. I did hours of research trying to find someone to help, and after consulting with 6 doctors all over the country, I decided on Dr. Imola. I met with him multiple times because I was so nervous but he was so accommodating and understanding. He was a lot different than other doctors in that I feel like he under promises but over-delivers. I did not expect a perfect nose and was just looking for some improvement but he gave me more than I could have ever hoped for. The surgery was long but he takes the time to get things right. He used my own rib graft and fascia to rebuild and resupport my nose. Not only can I breathe better than before but it also looks amazing. My family and friends cannot believe what a good job he did considering what he had to work with. Everyone at the office is amazing as well. Lisa was always more than accommodating to all my questions and would always check up on me. While I wish I really understood the risks before I had any surgery so I made better choices the first time around, I am truly grateful to Dr. Imola for the work he did. He doesn’t really advertise and isn’t a fan of social media (which I think speaks a lot to his good character) but he is very talented and skilled at what he does. More

It is approximately 2 years now following the removal of a skin cancer on my face. Dr. Imola used a combination of grafts and moved some adjacent skin to repair a defect on my nose. I am amazed at the results of the repair and how well it has stood up over time. All of the staff at Colorado Facial Plastic Surgery are exceptional and I recommend the clinic without reservation. More
I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Kowalczyk, Lisa, and his whole team.....but I'm going to try! Starting with the first consultation I realized I was in very good hands with Dr. K. He and Lisa (patient coordinator) answered all my questions, were very patient, and really listened to my concerns. They were the perfect mix of professional, knowledgeable, and personable. I am THRILLED with the results of my lower eyelid procedure (Blepharoplasty). I had fatty deposits and large dark circles under my eyes. After the surgery, I looked at least 10 years younger! The results look very natural and my eyes seem larger and more open. I am so pleased at the results that I'm going back for a few more "enhancements." I would whole-heartedly recommend anyone interested in facial plastic surgery (from minor to major) to GO SEE DR. K! More
Dr. Imola has been incredible as I have sought information and guidance with fat grafting to repair a horrible facial surgery gone wrong. He has been honest and forthright and kind. Lisa, his patient manager has been amazing as well. I have been given fantastic information and support and highly recommend Dr. Imola and his practice. More
I have been driving past Colorado plastic surgery for years and fate really brought me to their doors.Overall I want to say I’ve had an amazing experience with Dr. Emola he listened to all my needs and my concerns and he has such a great office and staff. He made my first cosmetic experience wonderful and I will continue to go to him for any cosmetic needs . He will provide you with any service that you need to be happy. He has my stamp of approval! See you all in April More
I write this review not only to thank Dr. K but to help other patients searching for a plastic surgeon. I've had not personal but professional experience in this area and knew from my initial consults with Dr. K. my out come would be the best I could possibly hope for. After a fairly complicated procedure for a large facial melanoma my results were better than I hoped. Dr. K's knowledge, care and time went right into face. The confidence I felt made this experience so much better than anticipated. And what wonderful office and staff. Thank you, thank you, More

Can’t say enough good about this practice. The care and efficiency with Dr Imola and his staff was overwhelming. I was in for removal of 3 stage 0 melanomas that were on the end of my nose. I was quite anxious at the first meeting but after, through surgery, post surgery and continued care I always felt comfortable. Dr David Kowalczyk, who I mostly saw, was so knowledgeable and helpful in my surgery and recovery. I went from a huge deep hole on my nose to a scar you can barely see. I must also mention how kind the staff were throughout the process. I will always recommend this practice for surgery or any cosmetic treatment to all my friends. Savanna, Ashley, LisaA, Lisa D also made everything go amazingly well. Wish I could give 10 STARS!!! More
I agree with several people already in the reviews, 5 stars is not enough for this office. Dr. Imola, Dr. K., Lisa, and everyone else on staff are some of the best in the industry. I came to Dr. Imola really needing a revision surgery. He was highly recommended to me, and I can see why. He worked with me every step of the way to make sure I was taken care of, even a year after surgery. I am incredibly happy with my results and the care that was given to me during recovery. He is extremely methodical and definitely knows what he is talking about. Lisa is also always on top of everything. She really takes the time to get to know you and makes you feel heard, which is important in this industry. My only regret is not coming here sooner. I cannot recommend this office enough! More
Dr. Imola performed a sliding genioplasty to correct my severely recessed chin and a rhinoplasty to correct the crookedness of my nose as well as reduce my dorsal hump. Dr. Imola and I discussed what I wanted as an end result, and he delivered it exactly. I look exactly like the photos we manipulated together. I felt very safe going into surgery with him knowing he had performed many similar operations. More
So Excited for the Surgery! - Denver, CO - Hello! I am so excited to be getting my nose done on the 24th. I don't think I have a terrible nose, though I have been self conscience about it since middle school. I think that I am a pretty girl, I just think my nose is too big for my face. I am 25, married with two kids. When I broke the news to my friends and family that I would be getting this done, they were pretty against it. I still... More
Last week I had a CO2 laser treatment performed on my face and neck by Sarah. While not for the faint of heart, CO2 has been a gold standard, highly effective, trusted treatment for decades. While a bit anxious, I knew I was in excellent, experienced hands with Sarah. She thoroughly explained the process so I knew what to expect. Sarah's bedside manner was outstanding during the procedure, and it went smoothly and seamlessly. For the next week following the procedure, she was there for me through the entire process. I sent photos each morning and we corresponded about my progress and any questions/concerns I had during the healing process. I'm blown away by the results - texture, wrinkles, brown spots, and plumpness are greatly improved. And they'll continue to improve even more over the next several months as the collagen rebuilds and skin renews. HIGHLY recommend Sarah, Dr. Imola, Dr. Kowalczyk, and the WONDERFUL staff at CFPS and Aesthetics by Design. More
I could not have picked a better plastic surgeon! Found out I had a rare tumor growing on my cheekbone, which left an indentation or “dimple” and needed surgery. Dr. K got rid of all of it and I came out amazed! Since the surgery, Dr. K performed a fat transfer and my cheek might look better than before! 🤣 Dr. K and his team work absolute MAGIC and I would recommend them to anyone. Everyone in the office makes you feel so welcomed and cared for. You will be in the best of hands!! More

Surgery scheduled for July 29!!!My surgery is scheduled for Monday July 29!!!I am scheduled to have revision rhinoplasty with Dr. Mario Imola.My first rhinoplasty was a year ago with another doctor who left me with dents/uneven nostrils a thin/weak looking bridge and a tip that is to high for my liking/overall nose. I have been crying, very depressed and self conscious for the past year:( I really want to have this done and move forward with my life. I hope with my revision to smooth out the irregularities, achieve a straight profile (NOT scooped/sloped or upturned), bring my tip down and more symmetry on my frontal view. The doctor said I am not a difficult case he suggested a minor closed rhinoplasty however, I'm not sure the outcome I want could be achieved with a minor rhinoplasty I also don't feel comfortable reducing the size of my bridge any further:( I want to add cartilage to make it stronger. It really doesn't matter to me if its closed/open or if both my ears have to be harvested for cartilage more importantly, I want this to be my last surgery. I pray that everything goes perfect so I can finally put this to rest. More

When I broke the news to my friends and family that I would be getting this done, they were pretty against it. I still wanted to go through the procedure. I see this procedure to be a positive action. I think it will give me more confidence. As a side note I did not pay 1000. I don't want to put the cost because I feel like that is private. More
I had been interested in getting botox/dysport for a few years before I finally saw Dr. Kowalczyk to get them done. I did not know much about injections and felt really nervous to have them done since I felt very pressured by other clinics when I had mentioned my interests in the past and was always scared of having a "frozen" look. When I visited with Dr. K, he explained how the products worked, what would be best for me, and did not pressure me to make any certain decision. I chose to get Dysport to help with my stubborn forehead wrinkles. The injections were easy and painless! Three days later I saw amazing results. Dr. K promised I would have a natural and seamless result which is exactly what I got! I look more refreshed and I couldn't be happier with my results. I will definitely be coming back to this office to see Dr. K for my injections! More
I spent a long time obsessing about a droopy eye lid and what options I had to correct it. I had a consultation with Dr. Imola and discussed the option of an upper blepharoplasty. While a bit anxious about the procedure, I felt confident in Dr. Imola and scheduled the appointment. The procedure took place in the office and was completely painless. I am so glad that I chose Dr. Imola to do this procedure. I am very happy with the result and highly recommend Dr. Imola and Colorado Facial Plastic Surgery. Lisa Adams is a huge asset to CFPS. She is welcoming, kind and easy to talk to. I am grateful for the generosity she showed me on the day of the procedure and always enjoy catching up with her when I am in the office. More
Dr. Kowalczyk and his team are the best at what they do! I came into the office with a deviated septum issue and wanting to change the look of my nose. He fixed my broken septum and gave me the nose I’ve dreamed of. On top of fixing my nose he also made sure I was being taken care with my asthma/allergy issues. Would highly recommend this facility for rhinoplasty surgery. Very kind office staff they make you feel at home! More

Went in a long overdue hydrafacial by Sarah. All I can say is "wow"! Sarah is very knowledgeable and showed me the sun damage and wrinkle layers underneath my skin. I inquired about my neck wrinkles and Sarah was able to recommend a product to help. Mallory at the front desk equally as amazing and friendly! Highly recommend Aesthetics by Design for any of your aesthetics needs! Thanks again, Sarah and Mallory! I'll definitely be back! More
Five stars is not enough to express the gratitude I have for Dr. Imola, Lisa, and his entire staff! Not only does Colorado Facial Plastic Surgery feel like home they do every procedure maintaining the integrity of your true self! Looking back at photos I am so glad I did a partial facelift and an upper eye bluff! It is a rarity for me to wear make up as I maintain the procedures we have done with monthly facials and skin rejuvenation. I am so grateful to everyone there for helping me preserve my appearance and boost my confidence! Thank you for all you have done I would recommend Colorado Facial Plastic Surgery to anyone for all of their procedures and skin care More
Dr. Imola is truly a professional and very much a master at his craft. I had a nose that was broken in two separate places on the outside, as well as multiple places on the inside of the nose from when I was a child. I had a hard time breathing from one of my nostrils and suffered from regular bloody noses. Needless to say, I wanted a specialist who knew what they were doing to correct this injury. From the first consultation, Dr. Imola was very straightforward about what was realistic in terms of results. He did not sugarcoat anything, which I valued a lot with this kind of procedure. He also did an excellent job of outlining what recovery was going to look like, along with what I needed to do to ensure the best possible results. The entire staff worked well to ensure that every step leading up to the operation was taken care of, especially when it came to insurance. Dr. Imola really does care about his patients. After the operation, Dr. Imola has regularly scheduled me to come and see him for follow-up appointments to see how I have been progressing. To say that I am satisfied with my nose would be an understatement. I have gained a new-level of confidence in my appearance that I long lacked, and most importantly I feel like I can properly breathe and not have to worry about reoccurring bloody noses. One hundred out of hundred times I would pick Dr. Imola as my surgeon over any other doctor. More
Five stars is not enough to express the gratitude I have for Dr. Imola, Lisa, and his entire staff! Not only does Colorado Facial Plastic Surgery feel like home they do every procedure maintaining the integrity of your true self! Looking back at photos I am so glad I did a partial facelift and an upper eye bluff! It is a rarity for me to wear make up as I maintain the procedures we have done with monthly facials and skin rejuvenation. I am so grateful to everyone there for helping me preserve my appearance and boost my confidence!

Went in a long overdue hydrafacial by Sarah. All I can say is "wow"! Sarah is very knowledgeable and showed me the sun damage and wrinkle layers underneath my skin. I inquired about my neck wrinkles and Sarah was able to recommend a product to help. Mallory at the front desk equally as amazing and friendly! Highly recommend Aesthetics by Design for any of your aesthetics needs! Thanks again, Sarah and Mallory! I'll definitely be back! More
I recently had a Botox treatment with CFPS's newest physician Dr. David Kowalczyk and was I delighted with him and his work. He communicated all the details in a very easy to understand format and was warm, friendly and just seemed like a nice down to earth person. He's a great addition to an already stellar team of proven professionals. I'll be back for sure and would recommend him for anyone looking for professional Botox treatment. Thank you ~Sammy More
From the beginning at my consultation, I've had a wonderful experience! Lisa, Dr. Imola's patient coordinator, has been amazing through the whole process. From answering all my questions, to easing my fear, she has consistently been available through text and email during my recovery. It was so comforting to have her just a text away. Dr. Imola is the best surgeon around! He fixed my 'hook nose,' straightened the view from the front and lifted my droopy tip all while maintaining great breathing after recovery. Don't let his no nonsense personality fool you, he is great at what he does and he does it well! Right before I went into surgery, the anesthesiologist along with the nurses calmed my nerves by reassuring me that I made the best decision by choosing Dr. Imola and that he is articulate in his work and very detail oriented. I could not agree more and I am so happy with my results. The time and effort that Dr. Imola spent reconstructing my nose is evident in the outcome. It was a 4 hour + surgery and I know that every minute was worth my money! Dr. Imola has restored my confidence in myself & I am no longer afraid to have side profile pictures taken & I don't even think about my nose in public anymore. My only regret is not having this done sooner!! More
When I decided to fix my nose I did a lot of research on the best surgeons, I even looked out of state. That is when I came upon Colorado Facial Plastic Surgery. This place is amazing and my results are phenomenal!!!!!! I recommend anyone looking for a rhinoplasty to use Dr. Imola and his staff! They are fantastic and extremely supportive! I would make this place your first stop :-) More
I sold craniomaxillofacial implants for a major medical company for 10yrs, working with numerous plastic surgeons around the state. Last February, a dog bit my nose almost completely off. I immediately called Dr. Imola. He made room for me in his busy schedule, met me at his clinic the next day, and refined the repairs that were done in the ER at Swedish in such a way that literally saved my nose. He is an incredibly gifted surgeon. In addition, his staff is sincere in their desire to improve the quality of life for Dr. Imola's patients; and, after several laser treatments with Lisa upstairs, the scar on my nose isn't even noticeable anymore. "Thank you" doesn't cut it; this man's talent, and his commitment to his work, quite literally saved me from a life of insecurity and sadness. I can never express my gratitude enough. Thank you, Dr. Imola!! More
Roughly 2 years ago I had my deviated septum fixed as well as remove a bump on the bridge of my nose. Dr. Imola and his assistant Lisa were excellent and made me feel comfortable from the moment I met them and through the 2 year follow-up. Lisa is very caring and was there for me from the beginning and until the end. Dr. Imola’s background in ENT made me feel comfortable with him. He made sure that I understood the process along the way and with each follow-up visit. I definitely recommend Colorado Facial Plastic Surgery. More
I broke my nose when I was a kid. So long ago I barely remember the accident. Dr. Mario Imola corrected a 20 year old injury. I wish I would have had this done sooner. I was nervous about surgery but honestly I had no pain at all. Recovery was a breeze. I took a whole week off of work by the 3rd day I was already bored and didn't feel like I couldn't do my desk job at home. The follow up by his team was great. I never felt like I couldn't get answers if I needed them. Now let's talk price. Dr. Imola is expensive my surgery was 10K. He specializes in facial reconstructive surgery and he is worth every penny. If you don't need any facial surgery I do still recommend him for injections. I'm 34 years old and I have the sweet innocent wrinkleless face. More

10 out 10 absolutely amazing — he is so methodical and executed everything beautifully. - I truly do not know where to begin with this review because there are so many wonderful things to say about Dr. Imola and his staff. Before I came to see Dr. Imola I had already had 2 surgeries to correct my facial asymmetry by another surgeon. I was not satisfied with the results and had some complications during and after recovery. I was in desperate pursuit of finding another surgeon to help correct and essentially just acknowledge my concerns. But I was continuously turned down. I visited a handful of plastic and maxillofacial surgeons and never felt welcomed. I started to become frustrated and felt hopeless. But I was determined to continue my search and that’s when I found Dr. Imola. He first appealed to me because he had amazing reviews and he specialized in all things face and neck related. I took the leap and made my consultation appointment and I am so glad I did. I was very anxious to see Dr. Imola at first because I did not know what to expect. But the consultation went very well. I felt heard by Dr. Imola and relieved that I was finally given a diagnosis (Hemifacial Microsomia). He was patient with all of my questions and concerns and took his time in explaining each and every surgical option. After my consultation, I felt as if a huge weight had been lifted. I had been consumed by this journey for a long time. But I finally found a surgeon I trusted and felt comfortable with. Leading up to my surgery date Dr. Imola’s coordinator Lisa would periodically check up on me and was very helpful during the whole process! Lisa is genuinely sympathetic and devotes herself to caring for their patients in every aspect. Everything went smoothly because of her. My surgery was broken up into two days. On day one, I had a fat transfer to my cheeks and FaceTite to sculpt my jaw. On day two I had a primary rhinoplasty done. And OH MY GOODNESS I am so in love with my results. Dr. Imola exceeding my expectations and did so with no complications! He is so methodical and executed everything beautifully. He is amazing at what he does. He also eliminated the chronic discomfort I was left with from the previous procedures. I am now almost 1-year post-op. I am so incredibly happy that I found Dr. Imola, he gave me my life back. I no longer am consumed by insecurities and to anyone like me, I recommend visiting Colorado Facial Plastic Surgery Center. You will not regret it. More

I Waited a Long Time to Finally Get This Done. - Dr. Imola performed a rhinoplasty and septoplasty on me last September. I’m very happy with both how it looks and the improvement of my breathing. I had been contemplating doing this for 22 years when I finally pulled the trigger. I’m thankful for the empathy care and professionalism of the entire office staff. More
So Happy - I had a crooked, dented, upturned, overly scooped, unnatural looking nose from my first rhinoplasty with another Doctor. Dr. Imola and Dr. Kay were able able to fix my issues and give me a normal, STraight, nose that fits my face. I don’t feel self conscious anymore and I’m so happy I went through with the revision. I met with Dr. Imola 3 times over 2yrs before I decided to go through with it and I honestly wish I just would’ve went through with it sooner.Updated on 23 Jan 2021:First pic is the before and then the after at 3months. I am really swollen still but I’m really happy with the shape and how my dented side looks now. Dr imola said he could get my nose about 50% straighter but I think he got it 100% straight. I love how natural and normal I look now. I forgot to mention that I had a retracted columella and dr imola was able to bring that down and it looks so much better too. My lip and nose distance were so long before and it really bothered me but now I think it looks proportionate. He had to use my rib, fat from my stomache and fascia from my head for the surgery and it took 8hrs but it was because I pretty much had a hole filled with goretex on the dented side and it had to be completely removed in layers and then built back up.Updated on 27 May 2021:Just wanted to update with some pics. I still deal with swelling but this past month has been a lot less but still fluctuates. I knew revisionswelling was going to be hard to deal with but geez I’m ready for it to end! I’m still happy with my results. I asked for no scoop to my nose because I hated it so much from my primary and wanted more of my original nose look backUpdated on 27 May 2021:I hated this scooped upturned nose, I asked for no upturn and no scooped sloped nose in my primary consultation and also in my revision. Dr imola was able to give me more of my old look back but still a better version of my old nose More

Dr. Imola and all his staff are truly top-notch! I had Rhinoplasty in January and I'm very happy with the results. From start to finish I felt comfortable, everyone was friendly, and Dr. Imola was incredibly knowledgeable and talented. I highly recommend! More
Dr. Imola performed a sliding genioplasty to correct my severely recessed chin and a rhinoplasty to correct the crookedness of my nose as well as reduce my dorsal hump. Dr. Imola and I discussed what I wanted as an end result, and he delivered it exactly. I look exactly like the photos we manipulated together. I felt very safe going into surgery with him knowing he had performed many similar operations. More

Dr. Imola is knowledgeable and experienced in his field, which is why I felt so confident and at ease going in for surgery. He went above and beyond for my consultation, surgery, and post op appointments. I have never felt so comfortable in my own skin since I had my rhinoplasty procedure. I am about 4 months post surgery. His team is caring and I could not be happier with my experience. More
I have had a wonderful experience from the beginning! Dr. Imola, Lisa, his patient coordinator, and his entire staff have been awesome! I have had two procedures done by Dr. Imola and can honestly say he is very knowledgeable and talented. Roughly five to six months ago, I had FACETITE done on my neck. I recently viewed my before after photographs and can say I am very pleased with my results this far. I have had nothing but great experiences and results and would highly recommend Dr. Imola. More

Master of His Craft....Truly Amazing! - Having the tip of my nose bitten off by a dog was not in my plans....having Dr Imola on call at Swedish Medical was in God’s plans! He is truly a master of his craft! I was an emotional wreck and his staff was so supportive and amazing throughout the ENTIRE 7 month process! The tip of my nose was not salvageable so I ended up having to have a skin graft. I come from a family of p... More
Awesome! - It took me two years to decide to go ahead with this procedure. Would the results justify the cost? The answer is a resounding "YES". Dr. Imola found what I thought was lost....my neck and jawline. Down time was minimal and Tylenol handled any pain. I had minor bruising on my lower cheek but was gone in two weeks. Lisa, Val, Mallory and Dr. Imola were wonderful. Best of all I am looking... More

My only regret is that I waited so long to do so, as it has changed my life in such a positive way. Lisa was... More
Genioplasty and Neck Tite Great Resuls - Getting the Neck Tite and Genioplasty procedures met my overall goals to improve my “baggy neck” and minimize my prominent “jowls”.

I had Facetite done by Dr. Imola and can't recommend the procedure or this office enough!! Lisa is such a sweetheart and makes hanging out for the doc so fun. My results were awesome... anything face related, THIS is the surgeon and doctor to go to, even for minimally invasive procedures. Dr. Imola is a wealth of knowledge and often corrects mistakes other surgeons have made. More
Botox and Fillers - Extremely Happy! - Dr. Imola is personable and considerate. I have been visiting him for regular Botox for several years and would highly recommend him He has a new device that assists with finding veins and helps avoid bruising from my hard to find veins. More
Dr. Imola and his team are amazing! I had been contemplating having a mole removed from my face as well as a "lip lift" for a long time. The problem was that working in healthcare I had seen too many bad effects from elective procedures. There was also no one that I trusted with my face. I work in aesthetics and the lip filler was suiting me just fine, at least at first. I started thinking I might want a more permanent, yet subtle, result that I wouldn't have to maintain as much. I had a longer philtrum column and an anatomical defect on my right cupids bow from an old injury. The mole/ "beauty mark" was also getting larger and though it was benign it was starting to bother me more. I had heard about Dr. Mario Imola from several colleagues. When I tried to look him up online or see pictures of his work I couldn't find much. My colleagues told me that he doesn't have to do marketing because everyone in the area knows how great he is and refers to him anyway. I decided to have a consult and was super impressed by him and his assistant Lisa A. from the start. They were thorough, realistic and just conservative enough. Lisa made everything flow so easily and Mario proved himself to be a true artist. My scars are tiny and healing well and the people closest to me have noticed that I look good but nothing dramatic has changed. Exactly what I wanted. The follow-up and communication has also been amazing. I won't disclose pricing because that can always change but I will say that I would have paid double for the service and results I received. Highly recommend for any procedure involving head or neck. I will trust no one else with a scalpel when it comes to my face. In addition, their office upstairs "Aesthetics by Design" has CO2 laser and I will do my scar therapies there. Sarah R. is brilliant and a wealth of knowledge in the industry. More

I seeked Dr. Imola over a year ago for my first plastic surgery procedure ever. At the age of 63, I felt the need to finally improve on my genetics after seeing a Youtube video, objectively analyzing facial and physical structures in men. While I had many deficiencies for a 'decent looking male', I decided to Have my chin augmented via a chin implant. In the interest of brevity, Dr. Imola is an amazing Surgeon with an amazing Staff! The process starts with Lisa (practice manager) who has the charisma to brighten anyone's day, and facilitates everything perfectly. At age 65, I am going for more; to augment my infraorbital ridge with another implant... In short, Dr. Imola is magic, and i don't know how he does it. In youtube video, they say "MM's make MM's", (millimeters make male models)... Dr Imola is the best! More

I had done a lot of research prior to deciding on Dr. Imola. I interviewed 3 doctors, as well as did countless research on the internet. I had been thinking about getting rhinoplasty/ septoplasty and genioplasty for decades and finally decided to get the procedures at age 44. My only regret is that I waited so long to do so, as it has changed my life in such a positive way. Lisa was amazing to work with and was always there to answer my questions and to ease any trepidations I had. Dr. Imola was extremely knowledgeable and showed me exactly what my end result would look like prior to the surgery. I had a very large nose, asymmetrical nostrils, had problems breathing, as well as a recessed chin. Dr. Imola worked miracles and made me look like a much prettier version of my previous self. When I saw before and after pictures I couldn't believe the results. In fact, my results are better than the mock up pictures he showed me prior to the surgery. He is a perfectionist, takes time to ensure results and he stands by his work. I couldn't be more happy with my results and would highly recommend Dr. Imola and Lisa to anyone seeking rhinoplasty, septoplasty and/or genioplasty. More
Dr. Imola took fabulous care of my Mom! She was hospitalized due to dental implants that became infected and created an abscess on her jaw that invaded the bone. Dr. Imola removed the infected tissue with very little trauma to her face. She was very happy with the care and follow up he offered. More
I always feel well cared for when visiting Doctor Imola’s office. Doctor Imola and all of his staff are gentle, kind and attentive. Doctor Imola performed a FaceTite procedure with Submentoplasty. I experienced very little post-op discomfort, do not have any scarring and was out and about within the week. I have just seen my before and after photographs and wow what a difference! My sagging jowls and turkey neck are gone and I can see my jawline. I could not be more pleased with the natural appearance of my results. Thank you Doctor Imola and team. More

It took me two years to decide to go ahead with Facetite/Necktite . Would the results justify the cost? The answer is a resounding "YES". Dr. Imola found what I thought was lost...my neck and jawline. Down time was minimal and Tylenol handled any pain. I had minor bruising on my left jaw but that was gone in two weeks. Lisa, Val, Mallory and Dr. Imola were wonderful. Best of all I am looking AWESOME! More
I had an aggressive melanoma issue on my left cheek and Doctor Imola took me right away. He removed all the melanoma the first time and closed the wound with a very tight and professional suture procedure. There was very little pain and his staff was attentive and amazing. It’s only a week after surgery and there is no infection or redness around a 2.5 inch wound. I was expecting an ugly scar, but it appears appears this will barely be visible in a few months since he handled this similar to a corrective facial plastic surgery. Thank you to Dr Imola and his entire team. More
Master of His Craft....Truly Amazing! - Having the tip of my nose bitten off by a dog was not in my plans....having Dr Imola on call at Swedish Medical was in God’s plans! He is truly a master of his craft! I was an emotional wreck and his staff was so supportive and amazing throughout the ENTIRE 7 month process! The tip of my nose was not salvageable so I ended up having to have a skin graft. I come from a family of physicians/surgeons who were blown away at how Dr Imola was able to keep the structure of my nose. I went from being very scared about how my face was going to look to being very happy with how it all turned out. I don’t typically write reviews unless I feel very strongly about someone and I am here to tell you.....you are in amazing hands! More
Awesome! - It took me two years to decide to go ahead with this procedure. Would the results justify the cost? The answer is a resounding "YES". Dr. Imola found what I thought was lost....my neck and jawline. Down time was minimal and Tylenol handled any pain. I had minor bruising on my lower cheek but was gone in two weeks. Lisa, Val, Mallory and Dr. Imola were wonderful. Best of all I am looking AWESOME! More
I had done a lot of research prior to deciding on Dr. Imola. I interviewed 3 doctors, as well as did countless research on the internet. I had been thinking about getting rhinoplasty/ septoplasty and genioplasty for decades and finally decided to get the procedures at age 44. My only regret is that I waited so long to do so, as it has changed my life in such a positive way. Lisa was amazing to work with and was always there to answer my questions and to ease any trepidations I had. Dr. Imola was extremely knowledgeable and showed me exactly what my end result would look like prior to the surgery. I had a very large nose, asymmetrical nostrils, had problems breathing, as well as a recessed chin. Dr. Imola worked miracles and made me look like a much prettier version of my previous self. When I saw before and after pictures I couldn't believe the results. In fact, my results are better than the mock up pictures he showed me prior to the surgery. He is a perfectionist, takes time to ensure results and he stands by his work.

Genioplasty and Neck Tite Great Resuls - Getting the Neck Tite and Genioplasty procedures met my overall goals to improve my “baggy neck” and minimize my prominent “jowls”. I am very happy with the results --- I still look like me but just fresher and younger. Dr. Imola provided options to reach my overall goals before we landed on the Neck Tite and Genioplasty procedures. I was somewhat worried about the recovery time, but I was out and about with friends in about 2 weeks. Dr. Imola’s support team (specifically Lisa Adams) were awesome and helped me through the pre and post op stages. I have recommended Dr. Imola to friends, not only for the exceptional results, but for the overall approach and support that is provided by Dr. Imola. More
Dr. Imola Fixed my Highly Asymmetrical Nose After Two Failed Rhinoplasties with a Different Doctor - I came to Dr. Imola after two rhinoplasties with a different doctor that left my nose with an S deformity. I was very skeptical about a third surgery as it seemed hopeless. Dr. Imola was very communicative and realistic pre-op and after the surgery I am ecstatic to finally have a symmetrical nose. Thank you, Dr. Imola. More
Dr. Imola gave me what 5 previous doctor's couldn't....a well functioning, straight, and wonderful looking nose! Prior to finding Dr. Imola, I had had 5 revision rhinoplasty's in just as many years to correct my breathing problem which stemmed from a deviated septum. The last rhinoplasty left me with a crooked non-functioning nose, not to mention a huge scar down the middle. I was devastated and I hated looking at myself in the mirror. That's when I discovered Dr. Imola!! He genuinely cared about me and wanted to do whatever he could to help my situation. From my initial consultation to my continued follow up visits, Dr. Imola and his team have been absolutely fantastic to work with! They have been so informative and available throughout the whole process. I really appreciate their professionalism and how the whole staff worked together to make sure I got the desired result I was looking for. Dr. Imola was honest with me from our very first meeting about the expected outcome and how close to my expectations I could get. I am incredibly happy with the result and the attention I was given. I could not be more satisfied with the experience. More
I Could Not Have Asked for More - While researching doctors to give me my desired outcomes in the safest possible way, I came across Dr. Mario Imola’s website. There I was surprised to find before-and-after photos of my Ex-Husband! I was surprised that my Ex—who is ten years old than me but looked scarily younger than me—had a facelift by Dr. Imola about six years earlier. So I called the Ex, who gave me the skinny on his f...

Revision or Previous Rhinoplasty - Dr. Imola is a exceptional surgeon. He put an extraordinary amount of time and effort into my complex nose reconstruction.

Excellent Surgeon with a Plan for the Surgery Process and the Patients Needs in Mind. - Dr Imola is the man. Lisa, Mallory,Angel and everyone on the Imola team are true professionals.

Thank you Dr. Imola for my new nose! - From the beginning at my consultation, I've had a wonderful experience! Lisa, Dr. Imola's patient coordinator, has been amazing through the whole process.

Natural Looking and Aesthetically Pleasing Cheeks - I have come to Dr. Imola twice for voluma, the first time on my cheeks Andrew the second time on my cheekbones-both appointments were about 9 months apart. The improvement I wanted was very conservative. I was unhappy with hollowness I'd begun to see on my cheeks and, more recently, with the fact that my face has begun to look flat when viewed from profile. Both times, so far, my expectations... More

From answering all my questions, to easing my fear, she has consistently been available through text and email during my recovery. It was so comforting to have her just a text away. Dr. Imola is the best surgeon around! He fixed my 'hook nose,' straightened the view from the front and lifted my droopy tip all while maintaining great breathing after recovery. Don't let his no nonsense personality fool you, he is great at what he does and he does it well! Right before I went into surgery, the anesthesiologist along with the nurses calmed my nerves by reassuring me that I made the best decision by choosing Dr. Imola and that he is articulate in his work and very detail oriented. I could not agree more and I am so happy with my results. The time and effort that Dr. Imola spent reconstructing my nose is evident in the outcome. It was a 4 hour + surgery and I know that every minute was worth my money! Dr. Imola has restored my confidence in myself & I am no longer afraid to have side profile pictures taken & I don't even think about my nose in public anymore. My only regret is not having this done sooner!! More

I Could Not Have Asked for More - While researching doctors to give me my desired outcomes in the safest possible way, I came across Dr. Mario Imola’s website. There I was surprised to find before-and-after photos of my Ex-Husband! I was surprised that my Ex—who is ten years old than me but looked scarily younger than me—had a facelift by Dr. Imola about six years earlier. So I called the Ex, who gave me the skinny on his facelift recovery times, expectations, and of course, his very highest recommendation of Dr. Imola. Following this highly personal recommendation from the pickiest man I know (who looks great), I called for a consultation with Dr. Imola.Dr. Imola recommended and performed a full facelift and neck lift on me. The recovery was far easier than I anticipated. I took a prescribed pain reliever the night following surgery simply as a precaution. After the first day I switched to Tylenol PM only, to help me sleep and to alleviate some body discomfort from sleeping on my back with my head elevated. The level of caring and kindness from Dr. Imola and his staff throughout the process was outstanding. Lisa even called on a Sunday to check on me (I felt just fine). At all times I felt safe and like an informed member of the team. I can’t fully express how happy I am that I chose Dr. Imola and his caring, wonderful support team for my surgery and aftercare. Dr. Imola is both surgeon and artist, and his staff are as close as imaginable to the girlfriends you always wanted—only more medically informed.I’ve since gone back to Dr. Imola to have the holes in my pierced ears repaired. Damage from wearing heavy earrings throughout the 1980’s combined with having earrings yanked by fast-handed babies had long ago stretched and worn the holes in my ears into long slits. Dr. Imola performed the surgery in the office and once again, the discomfort was minimal to non-existent. In short, I offer my very highest recommendation of Dr. Mario Imola to anyone wanting or needing facial surgery. More
I suffered from facial paralysis due to a number of brain surgeries. At only 30 years old, I was devastated. Dr Imola did facial reconstruction for me, and continues to maintain my symmetry with injectables. He and his staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and sincere. No matter how long it's been they always remember my name, face and concerns. Dr. Imola has brought back my confidence through his empathy and expertise. I have been to other plastic surgery and dermatology centers, but the results I receive here are unmeasurable. That is why I'll make the drive from Colorado Springs and I'll highly recommend Colorado Facial Plastic Surgery to anyone who is considering cosmetic alterations, or enhancements. More

He and his staff really do have a passion for providing patients with an outcome that has a positive effect on their lives. Having surgery is very personal and serious. We are lucky to have such a extraordinary man who makes it possible for people in the Midwest to receive the same or better talent that is available in places such as New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Thank you again Mario! More
I Had a Great Experience - My experience with Dr. Imola and his team was nothing but positive and professional. During my consultation he answered every question in detail and provided realistic expectations. I couldn't be happier with my results, my new nose is exactly what I wanted! My nose was big/wide and the tip drooped down in the front. I hated my profile and always took pictures at a certain angle to make my nose look smaller. My new nose is much smaller/narrow with a straight tip, I love my profile and have gained back my confidence. I had several consultations with other surgeons and did a lot of research, Dr. Imola was the most detail oriented and I felt the most conformable with him. He has a great team that helps with the day to day, Lisa is amazing and was there to answer my questions and checked up on me during the recovery process. Her personal touch made me feel like I was their only client. Dr. Imola is an amazing surgeon and I would highly recommend him! More
Natural Looking and Aesthetically Pleasing Cheeks - I have come to Dr. Imola twice for voluma, the first time on my cheeks Andrew the second time on my cheekbones-both appointments were about 9 months apart. The improvement I wanted was very conservative. I was unhappy with hollowness I'd begun to see on my cheeks and, more recently, with the fact that my face has begun to look flat when viewed from profile. Both times, so far, my expectations have been not only met, but exceeded. He used one cc on my cheeks the first time (half cc per cheek) and the change was very conservative-so much so that no one appeared to notice any difference! (Which is always my goal)-but it addressed my concerns perfectly. I can see that my face has lost the slight hollowness that had begun to develop on my checks, my smile looks more youthful but I don't have the dreaded "pillow face" I'm so afraid of. My cheeks look beautiful! The second visit was to address my cheekbones which seemed a little flat. Because I still wanted the change to be conservative, I asked if I could used only half a cc - so 2.5 per cheek- and he agreed, saving the other half in case in a week or so I feel like I need more. So far, the change appears to have been very conservative which is exactly what I wanted. I want to continue to look youthful as I age and I think I've been able to achieve that with dr. Imola's injections. Finally I'd like to point out that even though I have shown up twice with very little information, and no real knowledge of where it should be applied (and I'm probably pretty bad at explaining what I'd like to see.lol), he still seemed to know what I wanted. Not sure if he just managed to interpret my convoluted explanation or if he just went with what he thought was was most aesthetically appropriate for my face, but nonetheless, I was very happy with my original results and I expect to be happy with my newest improvement (cheekbone area). So if you're looking for natural looking fillers, dr imola is the person to see. I suppose if you want unnatural looking ones he could probably do that too. For me, my face looks much prettier with the fillers he injected, and completely natural!!! More

I got hooked and now I feel safe to consult him when I need more work done! More
What a change! Looking a different person - I had suffered with chronic Acne keloidalis, Acne Keloidalis Nuchae (AKN), at the back of my head for about 16 years. The lesson was surgical removed initially but regrew and enlarged in size and covered almost the entry part of my back head. I used take steroid injections and chemotherapy for about 8 years but that couldn’t help and the lesson was frustrating due to ugly looking discharge, bleeding, swelling, itching and related infections. As time goes, I couldn’t do my daily regular jobs, as I lost my confidence and I used to use head covers to hide the lesson. Due to associated infections, there was fussy and bloody discharges affecting all my life and I used take board antibiotic repeatedly, which couldn’t help either.I came to USA last year (April 2017) and the situations got worsened. Finally I was fortunate enough to I got Dr. Imola, who has changed my life and now I am looking a different person with great confidence.Dr. Imola provided me with very strong and broad antibiotics for about 2 months to treat the chronic infection. Then large tissue extender was inserted under general anesthesia. The tissue extender was expanded with scheduled filling each week for about 10 weeks, till adequate size of the skin gained for the grafting.Then the lesson( 5CM x 5CM approximately) surgically removed , the tissues extenders removed and the skin grafting done with flopping back the expanded head skin with hair to cover the open area.

Rhinoplasty - Dr. Mario Imola is an artist! My whole life, I had been self-conscious of my wide nose that spread out even wider when I smiled. But, Dr. Imola narrowed the bones of my nose, as well as my nostrils so, now I smile freely knowing my nose won't spread out from ear to ear! Picasso would be jealous! Surprisingly, there was not much pain involved with my rhinoplasty. Wearing a splint, mouth... More
The Only Place I'll Go - Dr. Imola did reconstructive facial surgery for me after I received facial paralysis from brain surgery. The results I received were amazing. I have not only regained symmetry in my face, but confidence as well. He and his amazing staff take such good care of me, I will never go anywhere else again. I get botox today to maintain the symmetry he achieved. I love these people and will gladly... More
I Am Very Happy with the End Results of my Plastic Surgery. - Dr. Imola was very professional in my treatment & care. He was a good communicator regarding my plastic surgery & results that I could expect.

I was very pleased with the end results, and my friends tell me that I look 15 Years... More
Wonderful Experience - I am very grateful to Dr. Imola for the revision rhinoplasty he performed. Not only is he an amazing surgeon, but he is a wonderful person. It takes a special, gentle "soul" to do the type of work he performs on a regular basis. He helps people regain their dignity who have been injured, endured facial cancer, been born with facial deformities, or simply seeking cosmetic enhancement. In my... More
Amazing Results - After several years of wanting to fix my nose, I finally got up the courage to move forward and boy am I glad I did. My experience with Dr. Imola was nothing less than excellent. Not only did he fix my septum but also fixed a very bad broken nose. The procedure was not as painful as I expected, as a matter of fact it was not painful at all. My nose is straight and I can breathe so much... More

Corrective Deviated Septum/Rhinoplasty - Dr. Imola is a true artist and meticulous in his craft. I wanted the best, and I got the best. My main concerns were my inherited bump on my nose, a broken and crooked septum due to playing sports in high school, and the inability to breath on one side. I held consultations with many other surgeons all of whom had the same credentials or very similar (double board certified, and specializing in cosmetic surgery for the face). My main goal from the surgery was to be able to breath normally, (I had chronic sinusitis for many years) and I also wanted my nose to be straight, and my bump be removed. Dr. Imola was very honest and realistic. In researching all the counterindications of a septorhinoplasty, I knew things could go wrong. Dr. Imola was able to address all of my concerns, as well put my faith and trust in his hands. He has proven to be an artist in his work. It has been a little over one year and I can finally say I no longer get sinus infections every month, I can breathe normally, and my nose is absolutely beautiful! I would recommend Dr. Imola, as he has proven to be one of the best in his field. More
Botox and Fillers - Extremely Happy! - I was referred to Dr. Imola and I am very happy with my results. The overall experience has been very positive. Dr. Imola was very patient with me and helped my made informed decisions that I am extremely happy with. I highly recommend him and his staff. More
Dr. Imola Completely Fixed My Smashed Face!! - I took a very hard accidental elbow to the left side of my face while playing basketball. The impact collapsed my left cheek bone, and broke my nose, jaw and the orbital floor under my left eye. These injuries were very serious. I contacted several physicians whom I know to ask for referrals: one recommended Dr. Imola. THANK GOODNESS! Dr. Imola completely fixed my collapsed face and injuries, and even my wife cannot tell today how badly that I was hurt. I will ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL to Dr. Imola for his incredible surgical skills (medical and dental) in making me whole. More
My nose looked even better the the virtual picture - My expirence was amazing! I came to get a rhinoplasty done for my nose. I was welcomed amazingly and I loved Dr. Imola. He helped me feel comforted and I didnt worry at all after he showed me my result. My nose looked even better the the virtual picture he showed. I would recommend everyone to come to him as he is highly specialized in what he does and the result always look better. He is just a perfectionist who is super sweet and kind. More
Lower bleph - Dr. Imola completed a lower blephroplasty on my lower eyelids at the end of May. The surgery was painless and the results have been everything I have been wanting. The results are very natural looking. I was unable to find a permanent solution that was not surgery. I am very satisfied with the results, the experience and care of Dr Imola and his staff. I will return for other procedures. More
I am a 27 year old female who received Juvederm Ultra injections. This is my honest review from my appointment experience. 1.Professionalism: I enjoyed my first appointment with Colorado Facial Plastic Surgery. The staff had a warm hearted approach with helping me choose the proper injections for my needs. What I like the most about my experience is Dr. Imola doesn’t make you feel self-conscious by pointing out your flaws or putting you under pressure to upsell products. The staff is very friendly and comforting. 2. Performance: I specifically chose to book the appointment with Dr. Imola because he has over 20 years of experience in plastic surgery helping treat burn victim with reconstruction surgery. He seems almost over qualified to preform basic injectables! So for my first time with injectables I wanted an experienced doctor for a consultation rather than a dermatologist. Dr. Imola is very precise and accurate with his work, making sure the injections are balanced and inserted properly and painlessly. 3.Price: Pricing is average.

I suffered from facial paralysis due to a number of brain surgeries. At only 30 years old, I was devastated. Dr Imola did facial reconstruction for me, and continues to maintain my symmetry with injectables. He and his staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and sincere. No matter how long it's been they always remember my name, face and concerns. Dr. Imola has brought back my confidence through his empathy and expertise. I have been to other plastic surgery and dermatology centers, but the results I receive here are unmeasurable. That is why I'll make the drive from Colorado Springs and I'll highly recommend Colorado Facial Plastic Surgery to anyone who is considering cosmetic alterations, or enhancements. More
I am a 27 year old female who received Juvederm Ultra injections. This is my honest review from my appointment experience. 1.Professionalism: I enjoyed my first appointment with Colorado Facial Plastic Surgery. The staff had a warm hearted approach with helping me choose the proper injections for my needs. What I like the most about my experience is Dr. Imola doesn’t make you feel self-conscious by pointing out your flaws or putting you under pressure to upsell products. The staff is very friendly and comforting. 2. Performance: I specifically chose to book the appointment with Dr. Imola because he has over 20 years of experience in plastic surgery helping treat burn victim with reconstruction surgery. He seems almost over qualified to preform basic injectables! So for my first time with injectables I wanted an experienced doctor for a consultation rather than a dermatologist. Dr. Imola is very precise and accurate with his work, making sure the injections are balanced and inserted properly and painlessly. 3.Price: Pricing is average.

Rhinoplasty - Dr. Mario Imola is an artist! My whole life, I had been self-conscious of my wide nose that spread out even wider when I smiled. But, Dr. Imola narrowed the bones of my nose, as well as my nostrils so, now I smile freely knowing my nose won't spread out from ear to ear! Picasso would be jealous! Surprisingly, there was not much pain involved with my rhinoplasty. Wearing a splint, mouth breathing and sleeping in a reclined position during the post-op period was very uncomfortable but, I wouldn't describe it as painful. My scars are barely visible and other than a couple of side-ways glances from a co-worker, most people didn't seem to notice that my nose had changed. Dr. Imola will put you at ease with his calm, friendly demeanor as he explains how he will sculpt your new nose. His staff is very friendly and non-judgemental, too. Make an appointment to see Dr. Imola, then go buy a new dress because you're going to want to hit the town after your rhinoplasty is healed! More

Amazing Rhinoplasty & Genioplasty Experience! - Dr. Imola completed both a rhinoplasty and genioplasty, and I couldn't be happier! I was most nervous about the rhinoplasty but I didn't need to be! Dr. Imola was very thorough during my consultation and helped answer all of my questions and put my mind at ease. His work far exceeded my expectations! Dr. Imola and his team have been amazing to work with. They provided excellent patient care during my consultations, with follow-up questions, and all of my post-op visits. I have gladly recommended Dr. Imola to friends and family (my sister is also having a rhinoplasty by Dr. Imola after seeing my results), and I will continue to do so! More
Great work, Great service - I met Dr. Imola in an emergency room at 1:00 AM. He struck me as a nice guy. Then later I asked someone, "who's the best in town". They told me Dr Imola. I figured our paths had crossed twice for a reason. I had a lower face/neck lift. He did a great job. Lisa his office manager met me on Christmas Eve when the office was closed. I can't say enough about them. I joke that I used to have a chin and neck, then later it became a chineck. They gave me back my chin and neck. These guys are great, just go do it ! I'm happy I did. More
Truly the best plastic surgeon you'll find anywhere. - I was very pleased with my experiences with Dr. Imola. I have been going to him for many years. I have had Dyport and dermal fillers injections many times with him. I can be a hard critic of plastic surgeons, and the people employed by them. I have gone to 3 other doctor's before him so I feel that I have a good understanding of how fantastic Dr. Imola is compared to others.I have a fear of needles and the idea of someone putting them in my face was a terrifying thought in the past. But when I have a procedure done there, I am always grateful for his unparalleled kindness, patience and warmth, which puts me at ease, calmed my jittery nerves, and has made me fell completely comfortable each step of the way and beyond. He makes sure his patients are always comfortable and feels little pain. He gave me a Nerve Block and a I literally did not feel even the tiniest pinch of the needle. It was the easiest procedure I've ever done. Dr. Imola does not only have a soft touch, but he knows how to make his patients look naturally beautiful. He has made me look 10 years younger, at least, but not overdone or unnatural like many other doctors I have been to in the past. He has softened years of wrinkles, awoken the look of my eyes, and made my lips fuller.. I never imagined what a tremendous difference it would make to my whole face. I used to look in the mirror and say, “I have to figure out a way to accept and like the way I looked”. Dr. Imola gave me that and more. I can truly look in the mirror and love what I see. HIs office is peaceful and relaxing, and the staff always very professional and has a smile of their faces and ready to help me any way they can. I can honestly say, I enjoy spending time there, it is as warm and comfortable as an afternoon with good friends. Dr. Imola is brilliant at his profession and a very gifted doctor, and I so happy I am that I found him! More
Corrected Deviated Septum/Rhinoplasty - I found Dr. Imola after doing my own extensive research, making many phone calls and consulting with several other physicians in the Denver area. Besides his many years of experience and specialties in facial plastic surgery and otolaryngology, I selected Dr. Imola to do my surgery because he gave me realistic expectations from the start (telling me what he would and would not be able to do based on the extent of my septal deviation) and was very down-to-earth and easy to talk to. My surgery consisted of straightening out the “C” curve in my septum, lessening the bump and narrowing my nose, as well as turbinate reduction to help with sinus issues. My biggest concerns going into this were cost, appearance and sinus function. I am now 6 months post-surgery and happy to say I am pleased so far with all three! The quote I received was in-line with other surgeons I had contacted. But, the thing I like most is that my nose is now noticeably straighter and narrower. I also feel like it is still natural looking and fits with the other features of my face. Lisa, the Clinic Director/Patient Coordinator, was also wonderful through this whole process. She walked me through all of the pre-surgery instructions and post-surgery expectations (good and bad) and was very helpful and readily available for any questions I had. When my bruising lasted longer than I had hoped, she even helped to set me up with additional treatments along the way to lessen that recovery time. She is a very big part of why I would recommend (and have) Dr. Imola and his staff to my family and friends. It really does pay to do your homework and I’m so glad I did and held out until I found this very talented and caring surgeon! More
The best - Dr. Imola is absolutely amazing! I've gotten botox from other doctors in the past and have been dissatisfied with the results. Dr. Imola has made my face look netter than ever. After getting botox with him, my face looks lifted, wrinkle free and still natural. I can confidently say that I will not go to anyone other than Dr. Imola for Botox again. I could not be happier with my results. Highly, HIGHLY, recommend. More
Skull fracture reconstructive surgery - I had an injury about 10 years ago. My left skull bone was fractured in multiple locations and it caused facial assymetry. The left eye was dislocated. The surgery was not done at the moment. Finally i decided to do the surgery and found Dr Imola. After reviewing his portfolio and discussing the matter with him I decided to do the surgery. It was very difficult sugery (9 out of 10 in difficulty). The cheek bone had to be refractured in multiple locations and put back together in correct place. The eye socket floor had to be repaired and eye position corrected. The surgery went on for 10.5 hours. It tooks 6 months for the healing to take place. The ultimate result is very good. I cant even notice any sort of facial assymetry. Considering the surgery was done 10 years after injury, the result is miracle. Thank God surgeon was Dr Imola. More
Dysport - I’ve been a patient of Dr. Imola for 5 years as he has administered Dysport and facial volumizers with the conservative approach that I request. His experience and expertise are second to none and his warm and knowledgeable staff are efficient and assuring. I highly recommended his services! More
The Only Place I'll Go - Dr. Imola did reconstructive facial surgery for me after I received facial paralysis from brain surgery. The results I received were amazing. I have not only regained symmetry in my face, but confidence as well. He and his amazing staff take such good care of me, I will never go anywhere else again. I get botox today to maintain the symmetry he achieved. I love these people and will gladly make the trip from Colorado Springs everytime. More
I Am Very Happy with the End Results of my Plastic Surgery. - Dr. Imola was very professional in my treatment & care. He was a good communicator regarding my plastic surgery & results that I could expect. I had checked out 4 plastic surgeons in the Denver area, but I made the choice to go with Dr. Imola for I felt he would give me the results that I wanted. I was very pleased with the end results, and my friends tell me that I look 15 Years younger. I was very nervous about having surgery, but I felt very confident that I had a excellent doctor to do surgery on me. More
Wonderful Experience - I am very grateful to Dr. Imola for the revision rhinoplasty he performed. Not only is he an amazing surgeon, but he is a wonderful person. It takes a special, gentle "soul" to do the type of work he performs on a regular basis. He helps people regain their dignity who have been injured, endured facial cancer, been born with facial deformities, or simply seeking cosmetic enhancement. In my case I sought Mario for a revision rhinoplasty. He fixed features of my nose I was very unhappy with from my primary surgery through a different surgeon i.e. elongated nose and ptosis of tip. He performed two procedures, one open and then a touch-up via closed approach under local anesthesia, to achieve the goals I sought. The parts of my nose that I felt the previous surgeon had erased, Mario restored. I feel like myself again when I look in the mirror and I can now appreciate the subtle refinements gained from rhinoplasty. My nose fits my face again. Thank you Mario! More
Amazing Results - After several years of wanting to fix my nose, I finally got up the courage to move forward and boy am I glad I did. My experience with Dr. Imola was nothing less than excellent. Not only did he fix my septum but also fixed a very bad broken nose. The procedure was not as painful as I expected, as a matter of fact it was not painful at all. My nose is straight and I can breathe so much better. Dr.Imola is very skilled and I would not hesitate to do another procedure with him. His staff was nothing short of great! They took good care of me prior and after my surgery. My only regret, I wish I had done it sooner:)! Thank you!! More
Dr. Imola is more than qualified in facial reconstructive surgery. He has a quite demeanor but a good sense of humor. He is thoughtful and purposeful in everything he does. He was kind and patient and did not mind all my many questions to help me trust I made the right decision to choose him as my doctor. My initial visit was to review my options in repairing a badly collapsed septum. I am very pleased with the outcome. His staff is courteous, friendly and succeed at accommodating you. More
I am an athletic, almost 50 year old mother of three and I first sought out FemTouch to see if it would help with urinary incontinence when I exercised. I have had two procedures so far and chose to do the inside and outside each time. Both were painless and Beryl was very kind and comforting during the procedure. I am no longer having any urinary incontinence issues while I exercise and I have the added benefit of moisture during intercourse. I had no idea that so many other women were having the same issues that I was having. Better yet, I had no idea that there was actually something that could be done to help. I highly recommend FemTouch and Beryl More
Dr Mario Imola is the best rhinoplasty surgeon in Colorado. I went into dr Imolas office not knowing how to explain how much, how little, I wanted done to my nose. I was extremely nervous for this reason. I didn't want to go over board, All I wanted was a natural shaped nose that fit my facial features. Luckily dr imola somehow understood what I was trying to achieve, I put my trust in him and I couldn't be happier with my decision 100# satisfied! More

I visited Dr. Imola yesterday for facial fillers . This was the third time I've had this procedure and am very happy with the results. I would recommend the dental block because this makes the experience so comfortable. I enjoy going into the office as everyone is positive and helpful.I wouldn't consider anyone else for facial procedure needs! More

I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Imola to anyone looking to get rhinoplasty surgery. I knew immediately that I had found the right surgeon when I met him because of his confidence and his extensive experience in plastic and reconstructive surgeries. There was never a moment I doubted I was in good hands and my nose turned out even better than I expected! The best part is that I still look like "me". I feel like some people get work and it LOOKS like they got work done, but Dr. Imola's work is tasteful and natural. His staff is amazing! So kind, knowleadgeable and helpful. I couldn't say more positive things about my experience. If I ever consider another facial plastic surgery, Dr. Imola is the only surgeon I would call. More
For years I have been self conscious about my nose. It was too wide and long for my face. I went to several consultations before seeing Dr. Imola and I liked him best. He seemed very knowledgeable and has many credentials. I finally have a nose that fits my face and I am comfortable taking pictures with friends. Choosing Dr. Imola has been my best decision ever. Not only did I get great results, the staff are so friendly. More
I had a rhinoplasty last year with Dr. Imola and I couldn't be happier with him, his staff, and the result! It was a pretty scary decision for me to go through with it, but Lisa was amazing and so was Dr. Imola, who went out of his way to meet with us in the middle of the night when the bleeding didn't stop after surgery. I was always able to reach someone with any concerns at any time, which helped me get through the first few days after surgery. All the staff is friendly and supportive, and I would definitely recommend this office and doctor! More
I was referred to Dr. Imola and I am very happy with my results. The overall experience has been very positive. Dr. Imola was very patient with me and helped my made informed decisions that I am extremely happy with. I highly recommend him and his staff. More
I took a very hard accidental elbow to the left side of my face while playing basketball. The impact collapsed my left cheek bone, and broke my nose, jaw and the orbital floor under my left eye. These injuries were very serious. I contacted several physicians whom I know to ask for referrals: one recommended Dr. Imola. THANK GOODNESS! Dr. Imola completely fixed my collapsed face and injuries, and even my wife cannot tell today how badly that I was hurt. I will ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL to Dr. Imola for his incredible surgical skills (medical and dental) in making me whole. More
My expirence was amazing! I came to get a rhinoplasty done for my nose. I was welcomed amazingly and I loved Dr. Imola. He helped me feel comforted and I didnt worry at all after he showed me my result. My nose looked even better the the virtual picture he showed. I would recommend everyone to come to him as he is highly specialized in what he does and the result always look better. He is just a perfectionist who is super sweet and kind. More
I went to so many different doctors before I finally found Dr. Imola. After years of getting different opinions and not being happy with any of them,he was able to tell me exactly what I needed and completely fix my problems. Him and his staff were always willing to work around my schedule and get me in for surgery before my wedding. I couldn't ask for better results. I highly recommend Dr. Imola. More

Dr. Imola is a true artist and meticulous in his craft. I wanted the best, and I got the best. My main concerns were my inherited bump on my nose, a broken and crooked septum due to playing sports in high school, and the inability to breath on one side. I held consultations with many other surgeons all of whom had the same credentials or very similar (double board certified, and specializing in cosmetic surgery for the face). My main goal from the surgery was to be able to breath normally, (I had chronic sinusitis for many years) and I also wanted my nose to be straight, and my bump be removed. Dr. Imola was very honest and realistic. In researching all the counterindications of a septorhinoplasty, I knew things could go wrong. Dr. Imola was able to address all of my concerns, as well put my faith and trust in his hands. He has proven to be an artist in his work.It has been a little over one year and I can finally say I no longer get sinus infections every month, I can breathe normally, and my nose is absolutely beautiful!I would recommend Dr. Imola, as he has proven to be one of the best in his field.

I am a 27 year old female who received Juvederm Ultra injections. This is my honest review from my appointment experience. 1.Professionalism: I enjoyed my first appointment with Colorado Facial Plastic Surgery. The staff had a warm hearted approach with helping me choose the proper injections for my needs. What I like the most about my experience is Dr. Imola doesn’t make you feel self-conscious by pointing out your flaws or putting you under pressure to upsell products. The staff is very friendly and comforting. 2. Performance: I specifically chose to book the appointment with Dr. Imola because he has over 20 years of experience in plastic surgery helping treat burn victim with reconstruction surgery. He seems almost over qualified to preform basic injectables! So for my first time with injectables I wanted an experienced doctor for a consultation rather than a dermatologist. Dr. Imola is very precise and accurate with his work, making sure the injections are balanced and inserted properly and painlessly. 3.Price: Pricing is average. I found Juveraderm to be tad lower than competitors, Since they run specials every month or so you can receive those promotional discounts if you join their email list. (Numbing cream is free if you get there 30 minutes prior to your appointment) Also join their points program, after each visit, every dollar you spend is put into a points bank.

Facetite - I am 46, young looking face but genetics and weight loss had caught up big time to my neck and chin. I was investigating a necklift when my surgeon told me about FaceTite. I had never even heard of it. What info was available though indicated that it might be the perfect option for me. It is not inexpensive, and I’m hoping for the results that I have read about and my surgeon indicated I might get. I am going to post my journey so that there is perhaps a little bit more out there for folks like me when they do their research. I had my procedure on Feb 26. Me: 46, excellent skin, highly fit, near ideal weight. Non-smoker, light drinker. More
Truly the best plastic surgeon you'll find anywhere. - I was very pleased with my experiences with Dr. Imola. I have been going to him for many years. I have had Dyport and dermal fillers injections many times with him. I can be a hard critic of plastic surgeons, and the people employed by them. I have gone to 3 other doctor's before him so I feel that I have a good understanding of how fantastic Dr. Imola is compared to others.I have a fear... More
I suffered facial trauma with fractures of my eye socket and cheek bone. Dr. Imola provided expert surgical and followup care. He is very professional and considerate. The office staff is very friendly and helpful. More
Corrected Deviated Septum/Rhinoplasty - I found Dr. Imola after doing my own extensive research, making many phone calls and consulting with several other physicians in the Denver area. Besides his many years of experience and specialties in facial plastic surgery and otolaryngology, I selected Dr. Imola to do my surgery because he gave me realistic expectations from the start (telling me what he would and would not be able to do... More
Dr Mario Imola is the best rhinoplasty surgeon in Colorado. I went into dr Imolas office not knowing how to explain how much, how little, I wanted done. All I wanted was a natural shaped nose that fit my facial features. I was extremely nervous for this reason. Luckily dr imola somehow understood what I was trying to achieve, I put my trust in him and I couldn't be happier with my decision 100# satisfied! More
The best - Dr. Imola is absolutely amazing! I've gotten botox from other doctors in the past and have been dissatisfied with the results. Dr. Imola has made my face look netter than ever. After getting botox with him, my face looks lifted, wrinkle free and still natural. I can confidently say that I will not go to anyone other than Dr. Imola for Botox again. I could not be happier with my results.... More
Skull fracture reconstructive surgery - I had an injury about 10 years ago. My left skull bone was fractured in multiple locations and it caused facial assymetry. The left eye was dislocated. The surgery was not done at the moment. Finally i decided to do the surgery and found Dr Imola. After reviewing his portfolio and discussing the matter with him I decided to do the surgery. It was very difficult sugery (9 out of 10 in... More
Corrective Deviated Septum/Rhinoplasty - Dr. Imola is a true artist and meticulous in his craft. I wanted the best, and I got the best. My main concerns were my inherited bump on my nose, a broken and crooked septum due to playing sports in high school, and the inability to breath on one side. I held consultations with many other surgeons all of whom had the same credentials or very similar (double board certified, and... More
Dr. Imola Completely Fixed My Smashed Face!! - I took a very hard accidental elbow to the left side of my face while playing basketball. The impact collapsed my left cheek bone, and broke my nose, jaw and the orbital floor under my left eye. These injuries were very serious. I contacted several physicians whom I know to ask for referrals: one recommended Dr. Imola. THANK GOODNESS! Dr. Imola completely fixed my collapsed face and... More
My nose looked even better the the virtual picture - My expirence was amazing! I came to get a rhinoplasty done for my nose. I was welcomed amazingly and I loved Dr. Imola. He helped me feel comforted and I didnt worry at all after he showed me my result. My nose looked even better the the virtual picture he showed. I would recommend everyone to come to him as he is highly specialized in what he does and the result always look better. He is just... More
Can Breathe, Huge Increase in Quality of Life - I've never been able to breathe through my nose very well due to a deviated septum (and apparently issues w/ turbinates?). I also had a slightly (but visibly) crooked nose that I didn't really even notice until after surgery. I also had 2-3 major sinus infections per year, terrible allergies, near daily bloody noses, missing days from work, and also near constant annoyance of nasal congestion... More
Amazing Results - I am an athletic, almost 50 year old mother of three and I first sought out FemTouch to see if it would help with urinary incontinence when I exercised. I have had two procedures so far and chose to do the inside and outside each time. Both were painless and Beryl was very kind and comforting during the procedure. I am no longer having any urinary incontinence issues while I exercise and I... More
SculpSure Dr Imola - I recently had a treatment of SculpSure® to remove a small pocket of fat on my lower abdomen. The staff did an excellent job preparing me for what to expect. I was a bit skeptical since I had a Coolsculpting® treatment which took about an hour. I was pleasantly surprised when my SculpSure® treatment was complete after only 25 minutes. It was extremely tolerable, a bit prickly and warm at ti... More
Couldn't Be Happier - I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Imola to anyone looking to get rhinoplasty surgery. I knew immediately that I had found the right surgeon when I met him because of his confidence and his extensive experience in plastic and reconstructive surgeries. There was never a moment I doubted I was in good hands and my nose turned out even better than I expected! The best part is that I still look like "me". I feel like some people get work and it LOOKS like they got work done, but Dr. Imola's work is tasteful and natural. His staff is amazing! So kind, knowleadgeable and helpful. I couldn't say more positive things about my experience. If I ever consider another facial plastic surgery, Dr. Imola is the only surgeon I would call. More
Finally happy with my face! - For years I have been self conscious about my nose. It was too wide and long for my face. I went to several consultations before seeing Dr. Imola and I liked him best. He seemed very knowledgeable and has many credentials. I finally have a nose that fits my face and I am comfortable taking pictures with friends. Choosing Dr. Imola has been my best decision ever. Not only did I get great results, the staff are so friendly. More
Great doctor! - I had a rhinoplasty last year with Dr. Imola and I couldn't be happier with him, his staff, and the result! It was a pretty scary decision for me to go through with it, but Lisa was amazing and so was Dr. Imola, who went out of his way to meet with us in the middle of the night when the bleeding didn't stop after surgery. I was always able to reach someone with any concerns at any time, which helped me get through the first few days after surgery. All the staff is friendly and supportive, and I would definitely recommend this office and doctor! More

From my first consultation with Lisa the Treatment Coordinator all the way through to the end of the process I felt like I was working with a team that really cares about their patients.Dr. Imola and Lisa spent a lot of time with me asking me what I wanted to have done. During each step of the surgery process they were in communication with me answering my questions and making sure I was comfortable and understood the process. Dr. Imola takes his work very seriously and is truly an artist. I am very happy with my outcome. I would highly recommend Dr. Imola! More
Otoplasty -- My ears now look awesome thanks to Dr. Imola - I’m a teenager and have always been self conscious about my ears. The problem with them was that they stuck out a huge amount and I was often made fun of by other kids. Dr. Imola did a wonderful job with my Otoplasty. Dr. Imola and his team made me feel very confident in my decision and really removed the stigma and scariness of plastic surgery. They listened to my concerns, explained in detail the procedure and made sure that I was 100% comfortable in my decision. He spent lots of time looking at my ears in a very detailed way, seeing things I never would have noticed. Every time I had an appointment, they made me feel special...they were kind, caring, patient and helpful. His assistant Lisa was really knowledgeable and supportive at every step of the process. Dr. Imola is a perfectionist, he’s a brilliant man and an incredible surgeon. He works with what you want and what you have in order to give you the very best possible outcome. I’m thrilled with my results and I would give five out of five stars to Colorado Facial Plastic Surgery. More
Artistic excellence. - First impression of my Dr. Imola visit: The facility is beautiful. The ambience is intimate and relaxing.

I opted for Botox and filler. I am so pleased with the outcome! Dr. Imola achieved a soft, natural look for me. I look and feel great. More
Dr. Imola is the truly best plastic surgeon in Denver! - My recovery is going amazing! Doctor Mario Imola is most caring, sweet and knowledgeable surgeon here in Colorado! I had rhinoplasty correction for little bump done back in Europe. Year later my baby boy 6 year old kicked his head back so quickly and landed instead of pillow, on my nose accidently. I had several fractions and broken nose. I was very disappointed with few doctors, but was very fortunate & lucky that my physician Dr. Anisimova referred me to Dr. Imola, she had great things to say about him, but I was still afraid, all I had left is to believe my favorite physician. I met with Dr. Imola and he gave hope, he was very knowledgeable, professional & cal. he checked my CT scan and explained to me procedure in details what to expect and what I needed. He did amazing job, he exceeded my expectations. I am very high maintenance & picky person and very perfectionist, he listened and did exactly what I expected. He is going above and beyond with entire process of my healing. I am very amazed by Dr. Imola and his team, Lisa Adams, she made entire process easy, Heather, Beryl Reker cares for my skin, I’m so thankful.

I feel I am very safe to be his patient! More
Soooo glad I finally had my nose taken care of! - The procedures I had were to fix a deviated septum and do cosmetic work. Not only am I less stuffy, runny etc, but the rhinoplasty turned out like I wanted. Dr. Imola understood what I wanted done, and did an amazing job. He listened and explained what would be the best solution, without making impossible promises. I am so pleased with the improvement, and I still look like myself - just a lot better! Also, he is extremely pleasant to work with. His staff is just as great. More
Grateful that Dr. Imola treated my injuries - I was very lucky that Dr. Imola was the facial plastic surgeon on call when I ended up in the emergency room after a dog attack! He did an amazing job repairing the injuries to my lip and chin area which were substantial. After only 6 months, people can't even tell that I was injured. Dr. Imola has been kind, caring and professional in his treatment of me. He has been honest in terms of his opinions and his skills as a surgeon are clearly outstanding. He has helped me heal from a very traumatic event and I will always be grateful that he was my doctor. More
No regrets - Dr. Imola is truly an artist. My nose had a hump, the nose was a bit wide, very long, my nostrils were large, my tip was projected too far, my tip was droopy, my septum was deviated, and my nose was asymmetric. I never thought a surgeon could fix ALL of these aspects, but he did. He gave me a beautiful nose that exceeded my expectations. My nose pre-op took up my whole face. Now, all my features are proportionate. People notice my eyes more. I no longer look like a freak. I highly recommend Dr. Imola. More
I couldn't ask for better results - I went to so many different doctors before I finally found Dr. Imola. After years of getting different opinions and not being happy with any of them,he was able to tell me exactly what I needed and completely fix my problems. Him and his staff were always willing to work around my schedule and get me in for surgery before my wedding. I couldn't ask for better results. I highly recommend Dr. Imola. More
Amazing Results - I am an athletic, almost 50 year old mother of three and I first sought out FemTouch to see if it would help with urinary incontinence when I exercised. I have had two procedures so far and chose to do the inside and outside each time. Both were painless and Beryl was very kind and comforting during the procedure. I am no longer having any urinary incontinence issues while I exercise and I have the added benefit of moisture during intercourse. I had no idea that so many other women were having the same issues that I was having. Better yet, I had no idea that there was actually something that could be done to help. I highly recommend FemTouch and Beryl More

Can Breathe, Huge Increase in Quality of Life - I've never been able to breathe through my nose very well due to a deviated septum (and apparently issues w/ turbinates?). I also had a slightly (but visibly) crooked nose that I didn't really even notice until after surgery. I also had 2-3 major sinus infections per year, terrible allergies, near daily bloody noses, missing days from work, and also near constant annoyance of nasal congestion which led to a bad habit of nosepicking and anxiety.Being able to breathe well through my nose unlocks an absurd amount of benefit for me in terms of quality of life above and beyond better breathing and better sleep. I have moderate untreated anxiety and focus/concentration issues in general and I meditate to treat them as opposed to dangerous medication. Breathing issues had always interfered w/ meditation and no longer do. I've been able to regulate my mood through regulating my breathing patterns since getting the splints out; I am a zen master now! I woke up w/ an anxiety attack 2 days after getting my splints out and was able to meditate and fall back to sleep where normally that would have led to me sweating a gallon and having insomnia and having debilitating daytime sleepiness and anxiety over the next 24-48 hours. That to me is a huge benefit, far beyond the breathing itself. I also am training myself not to gape when I walk (I was self conscious about this when I was younger). I also am an independent musician and my voice sounds less nasally - I will practically need to relearn how to sing but I can imagine after I retrain my voice I will sound much better. More

SculpSure Dr Imola - I recently had a treatment of SculpSure® to remove a small pocket of fat on my lower abdomen. The staff did an excellent job preparing me for what to expect. I was a bit skeptical since I had a Coolsculpting® treatment which took about an hour. I was pleasantly surprised when my SculpSure® treatment was complete after only 25 minutes. It was extremely tolerable, a bit prickly and warm at times but nowhere near as uncomfortable as the massage that is required after Coolsculpting®. I had absolutely no pain or swelling after treatment. I'm really looking forward to my post treatment photos and I'm already thinking about other areas that I can treat! More
Frown Lines and Wrinkles - Englewood, CO - I have been seeing Dr. Imola for several years now for Botox and/or Dysport. I also purchase my products from his office and have never felt he overcharges. He is always personable, and listens to my concerns. He strives to educate and guide regarding procedures, especially what he can realistically do for me or his other patients. His staff are also very polite, friendly and take the time to get to know you. I have begun to feel like I am a part of 'the family.' Most importantly, I drive from Pueblo, CO (220 miles round trip) because I trust Dr. Imola with my face, and trust me I have had some very bad experiences with other facial plastic surgeons and a few injection nurses.

Broken Nose, Rhinoplasty. Englewood, CO - Before I chose Dr. Imola I did a lot of research on the internet and Realself. I needed someone who knew what they were doing.

Three Times a BREAK. Accident Prone Nose Gets FIXED - Denver, CO - A third revision rhinoplasty was never in my playing cards.

Cheek Reconstruction Following Mohs Cancer Removal - Denver, CO - I was diagnosed with a basal carcinoma of the cheek over 1.5 years ago.

Very Happy with Results - Englewood, CO - Years ago I had surgery to repair a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Though I am both lucky and happy to be alive I was left with a significant indentation on the right side of my skull. For years I was able to mask the problem with hair, but as I aged, my hair thinned and gravity caused my eye and brow to droop. I became more and more self conscious. Dr. Imola was able to infill that area as well as,... More
Easy, Lovely Botox - Englewood, CO - Dr. Imola is so very sure-handed and gentle. I am not crazy about the "prick" of the needle, especially near my eyes. Dr. Imola fully explained how many injections and where he was to apply them. I could barely feel it and he gently asked how I was doing with each injection (just fine!). Now I get to enjoy a line-free brow and "ridge" between my eyes. He appreciated that I wanted "less is... More

Botox & Fillers - I really like Dr. Imola; the fact that he is a surgeon and a DDS makes him more knowledgeable than other people that are doing injectibles. Beryl in his office is very experienced, too. They don't rush through my treatments or make me wait during my appointments. I've been to too many medi spas where the practitioners do not have the training or expertise to produce a balanced, natural look. More

I am a 32 year old female who suffered from a horrible snow mobile accident two years ago. I was ejected face first into a tree going down hill at full speed. I suffered from major maxillofacial trauma that left me with deformities that caused severe chronic pain and major complications with getting through life's normal daily routine . I had broken nearly every bone in my face. My family and I spent a year traveling from doctor to doctor in multiple states. We were repeatedly turned away due to the complexity of the case. We learned of Dr. Mario Imola and his team through a fried of ours who was a charge nurse at Porter Adventist Hospital. She had worked in the OR with Imola and had seen his abilities first hand. Living in Las Vegas, Nevada we arranged our travel to Denver to meet with Mario Imola and his team. Our initial consultation was the immediate relief we thought we would never find. Dr. Imola diligently study my case and patiently listened when I shared my concerns and the symptoms I was experiencing. His staff was welcoming, diligent, incredibly professional and always willing to be as helpful as possible.The team objective was always to get me back to my best me, nothing less and nothing added on. During my evaluation, Mario shared his experience in similar and more complex cases and the long term results gained. His confidence in his ability to take on my case was an instant comfort. He made sure that each step of the surgery was strategically planned to ensure maximum results with minimal scarring. What he likes to call, “The art of the surgery” and what he’s done for my life truly has been an art. Coming out of surgery Dr. Mario and his staff have remained to be as diligent and supportive as when we first met them. They are my medical team and have been dedicated to fighting this battle along side my family and I, in any way they can. I am a year out of my surgery and the biggest compliment is meeting new people and them not evening being able to tell I was in an accident. I can compare pre and post accident pictures and am still blown away by the results. My esthetician can’t even see my scars! If you are a patient in search of treatment due to birth defects, trauma or cancer I hope you are reading this and encouraged to share your case with Dr. Mario Imola and his team. I am forever grateful. My family will always be blown away by our experience with his staff and the results gained from surgery! More
Young Woman Rhinoplasty - Denver, CO - My nose has bothered me for a few years so with the help of my mom, I did a lot of research about getting a rhinoplasty. I interviewed 2 doctors that had lots of great reviews and good reputations. One of them was Dr. Mario Imola. From the beginning, his office was very responsive and spent all the needed time with us to make sure that I was making the right decision. I was very nervous but they helped keep me calm and informed. The surgery was 4 hours because Dr. Imola is a perfectionist and takes all the needed time to make it just right. After the surgery, my mom was in constant contact with Lisa, the patient coordinator. Night or day - with whatever questions we had - she helped us. I am so very happy with the results. It looks very natural - no one really noticed - but I'm so much happier. I have found a new confidence and love the way it looks. The office is very organized, calm and professional. They will take all the time you need for each visit. I highly recommend Dr. Imola! More
Facial Reconstruction - Englewood, CO - Unfortunately almost a year ago (9/2/15) i was assaulted with a baseball bat, i was hit once shattering the whole left side of my face and causing multiple facial/skull fractures accompanied by a bleed on my brain, I was flown from Greeley's NCMC to Swedish Medical Center where after a couple days of waiting for swelling to decrease, Dr. Imola went to work on my face placing 6 plates and approximately 40 screws to fix and rebuild Temporal, Orbital, Facial (cheek) and Jaw fractures. This left my mother extremely concerned that I would never look the same, nurses and others around the hospital reassured her that if I wanted anybody rebuilding my face it would be Dr. Imola because thats who they would choose. Today not a lot of people can spot a difference in my face, I'm truly blessed Dr. Imola was on call to take my case. He has some very skilled hands and I would 100% recommend him to anybody that would need future facial reconstruction!!! More

I am not crazy about the "prick" of the needle, especially near my eyes.Dr. Imola fully explained how many injections and where he was to apply them. I could barely feel it and he gently asked how I was doing with each injection (just fine!).Now I get to enjoy a line-free brow and "ridge" between my eyes. He appreciated that I wanted "less is more," and though some of my "crow's feet" will diminish this week, I will still be me - which is what I wanted.He's renowned for his award-winning cranial and facial reconstruction, but he applied the full care, thorough administration and gentle touch to this relatively simple procedure, as he might to his most complex cases - and I'd go to him for anything facial and/or surgical. I believe he's the very best in the business! More
I recently had my Botox injections done by Dr. Imola. After trying several other injectionists through the years, my outcome with Dr.Imola is finally perfect with no bruising! He was very efficient, I didn't have to wait, and the office staff was delightful. I plan on returning for all my future injections. More
This is the second injection of Botox. I am very pleased with the results of softening and filling the 11's and wrinkles around my eyes.

His office staff is friendly and puts one at ease. I will only go to Dr. Mario Imola. More
I come to Dr. Mario Imola for regular Dysport injections. Dr. Imola is hands down the best at injecting Dysport. I get my Dysport every 3-4 months. I always leave feeling and looking rejuvenated. Dr. Imola always listens to what I am looking to achieve in my Dysport procedure. He is very qualified and I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else doing my injectables besides him, he is the very best at what he does. I highly recommend Dr. Imola for any injectable procedure! More
Dr. Imola and his crew are absolutely amazing! The entire time I've been working/ seeing them have been an absolute pleasure; I have always felt welcomed and comfortable. Dr. Imola is very professional, informative, and dedicated. I didn't think I would get the results that I have; I'm still recovering but even so my nose and lip have improved tremendously. I am grateful for the work he'said done and would recommend him to anyone who has a cleft lip or just looking to improve certain attributes. More
I was referred to Dr. Imola following a jaw fracture that I sustained during a biking accident. He managed my situation expertly. It has been over 1 year since the surgery and my bite is essentially the same as before the accident. I have no pain and can fully open my mouth. His office was completely supportive and helpful during the recovery period. I can not say enough great things about Colorado Facial Plastic Surgery. More

Its been three days and the lines on thesides of my chin are gone, and my lips are a lot more full and look a lot better. I would recommend him a lot more than other places that I have had injectionsat because he is a Plastic Surgeon and knows what you need by looking at your face andhe is not over selling you on injections that you don't really need.

I began seeing Dr. Imola for facial botox about a year ago, when I really started noticing some lines on my forehead that I was not at all wild about. At the time, I was very nervous about whether I should really get botox and about how I would look afterwards. Well, Dr. Imola and his staff were very kind and understanding. We discussed the pros and cons and I decided to try it. That was a year ago and I have had a few subsequent sessions and I love it! Dr. Imola does an amazing job, and given his specialty is facial plastic surgery, I suspect that is why he is so good at consistently providing great botox results. I have a few friends that have switched to him as well, following mishaps with other botox providers. If you are looking for a skilled doctor for botox injections, I strongly recommend Dr. Imola. One final note, Dr. Imola's staff is top notch - they are courteous, kind, pleasant and respectful - making it a great experience all around. More
I am not one to write reviews but I have to share my thoughts and feeling about the service I receive from Doctor Imola at Colorado Facial Plastic Surgery in Englewood Colorado. After complaining to my wife about the dark circles under both eyes and how self conscious I feel about them, she made me an appointment to see Doctor Imola and discussion my options. Going into a plastic surgery office for the first time was very intimidating. But I have to say, it was quite the opposite. The staff were very friendly and the waiting area relaxing. Once I got to meet Doctor Imola and share with him the concerns I had with my dark circles, he shared with me what he could do to help. When he discussed with me about how fillers will help reduce the dark circle, he did so in a professional manner and in a "language" that I understood. I will be seeing Doctor Imola soon for my fourth filler treatment in almost two years. Thank you Doctor Imola. More
I have been to a few clinics over the years for Botox and have never been satisfied with the results. A friend recommended I see Doctor Imola at Colorado Facial Plastic Surgery.

I was diagnosed with pre-melanoma of my ear by my dermatologist. She referred me to Dr. Imola as the go-to person to reconstruct the defect that would be caused by surgical removal. After researching Dr. Imola’s credentials and online reviews I decided to proceed with him. Dr. Imola transferred cartilage from my other ear and transferred skin from behind the ear to reconstruct the segment of ear that was removed. The results are amazing. His staff was very helpful in getting me ready for the surgery and explaining what to expect afterward. More
Dr. Imola is awesome! This is the third time getting these injections done, and each time my results are perfect. Its great going into the clinic, the staff is friendly, always willing to help! I booked my next appointment ahead of time and got a discount on my next injections too! Great experience all around. More
I suffered a cheekbone fracture approximately 2 months ago. It was severely shifted out of position. Dr. Imola repaired it expertly. Multiple approaches were necessary to access the fracture and a total of 5 plates plus 32 screws were used. The right and left side are essentially the same shape and nobody can tell that I suffered a fracture. More
I decided to look into Botox around my eyes and between my eyes at the top of the nose since it is a very aging factor. After a speaking with Dr Imola and learning about Botox I have given it a try and absolutely will continue to keep up with this procedure. He was very careful and the results are incredible. More
Dr. Imola and his staff are first class and very professional, they were always available if I had questions, even on weekends. The rehab went better than I thought it would because of the feedback and preparation time prior to surgery. I'm impressed with the final results and would not hesitate to refer friends or family to Dr Imola's practice, their all top notch! More
The bridge of my nose was shattered in an accident nearly 4 years ago. It was crooked and had shards or cartilage pressing against the skin on the bridge. I was told to get it repaired shortly after the accident but time fly's. I was having trouble wearing my glasses and didn't like the way my nose looked. Dr. Imola did an excellent job repairing the nose, surgery went great. I was well instructed on what to expect after the surgery and how to care for my nose while it was healing. Follow up appointments were informative and the staff are courteous and caring.I am very pleased with the results and have the highest regard for Dr. Imola. More
Dr. Imola's extensive education, training and years of experience truly match his skill as a surgeon. I researched many surgeons in the Denver area before choosing Dr. Imola. I and am so pleased with the outcome of my complex revision rhinoplasty. He makes you feel comfortable the minute he meets you. He explains the procedure in a manner that mutual expectations were clearly understood. He is an artist that gives natural results not often seen with many plastic surgeons. His staff compliments his style with expertise, a welcoming atmosphere, and always available throughout the process with a smile. My experience with Dr. Imola was amazing! More
For the longest time my ears were sticking way far out with one further than the other. I had thought about doing this surgery for the longest time. I did my research thoroughly and decided to go with Dr. Imola. I wasn't disappointed. The entire process was exactly as described. Dr. Imola is extremely professional and made me feel at ease. He was great throughout the procedure and follow-up. I would definitely recommend him! More
I was hit by a semi truck that ran a stop sign April 16, 2014. I had multiple body and facial injuries. Dr. Imola was referred to me by one of my facial surgeons to reconstruct my nasal passage as it was damaged in the accident. It was hard to breathe and crooked. Dr. Imola was a breath of fresh air to talk to. He was honest about the damage that was done to my face and what it would take to restore my facial features. I opted for a nasal reconstruction and am very happy with the results. I can breath normal again and my nose looks normal again. His bedside manner is excellent. He takes the time it takes to explain what procedure was to be done and answered all my questions honestly. He is personable and has a great sense of humor which I found heart warming and comforting. If I opt for more restoration, I will definitely use Dr. Imola again. A. Stone More
At 60 years old the deep lines between my brows, deepening crows feet and forehead frown lines made me look like I was in a perpetual state of concern, pain or exhaustion. No amount of moisturizing creams or makeup could camouflage them. I didn't want anything surgical but needed something stronger to combat the reality of time. I found Dr. Mario Imola at Aesthetics by Design in Denver. He suggested we try dysport and keep a regular schedule, informing me that, if I maintained a schedule I would need less as time went and the results would last longer. That has been almost 2 years ago and what he told me was true. I forget that I used to look older only a few years ago and people can not believe my age. It's the subtle change, not the over done look that I am thrilled about. I have never had any eye drooping, bruising or swelling. The nursing staff is professional as well as friendly. Dr. Imola always comes in and discusses the procedure again and asks if I've been happy with the results. He makes sure I feel comfortable and I never feel likes he's rushing to get on to the next event. How refreshing! Yes, I'm happy and I plan on keeping up a schedule for as long as I'm aging. More
I have been seeing Dr. Imola and his team for the past 6 years and they are amazing! I have people tell me everyday how great my skin and face look . I am 45 years old and I look better now then when I first became a patient of Dr. Imola's. I lean towards the natural and wear very little makeup. What I love about being his patient, is that every time I am finished with a procedure, I look refreshed and like a just got a great nights sleep. I have never felt overdone. He sees the underlying structure and architecture of my face and enhances my best features while minimizing my less positive ones. This is Art for my face!! Couldn't be more grateful to be his patient! More
Before I chose Dr. Imola I did a lot of research on the internet and Realself. I needed someone who knew what they were doing. I broke my nose by falling down the stairs when I was young. I looked like a hot mess! When I went in for my consult, Dr. Imola suggested a few things he could do. I wanted to look like my natural self before I broke my nose. I didn't want to look like I got a nose job. Dr. Imola didn't promise perfect results either. He was very informative on everything he would be doing before, during, and after my surgery. You would think I would be nervous going in on my Surgery day, but I was soo excited!!! I am very happy with my nose now. There is no bump and it's straight. It really takes a talented, smart, artistic person to accomplish what I needed done, and Dr. Imola is just that. He knows what he's doing and I would recommend him to anyone. More
I enjoy the bedside manner Dr. Mario has and he treats me as if I am family. I would recommend him or anyone in his office to anyone. I saw Dr. Mario after falling and having facial scaring on my lip and he provided me with not only great information but what I could expect for treatment and care in the future. I have yet to be let down by his knowledge and care. More
Dr. Imola and his staff ... a wonderful practice in the Denver area. Always friendly, caring and professional . This is a practice you can trust. I have not had a surgical procedure yet...However, I have received Botox injections from Dr. Imola. Results have always been great. I started Botox treaments years ago... Out come is prefect each time here! If you are thinking about Botox treatments select a physician you can trust! More
I love what he did, it was perfect. I went to their clinic for the first time and they're very friendly. They talked me out about the procedures, it was kinda confuse at first but when they gave me assurance and the % of success, it was really relieving. Thanks doc. Will call you again for another surgery, not for me but for my friend. More
I have one deep forehead crease that I really hate. I get Botox for this specifically as knocking it out makes me look and feel so much younger! That is the only thing i want "knocked out" with Botox and Dr. Imola nails it every time without freezing the rest of my face. Dr. Imola's technique and precision is amazing! More
I've always been self conscious about my nose. I thought it was too big for my face. I was also concerned about the fat around my neck. I had a consult with Dr. Imola after meeting with another surgeon. The previous surgeon had caused me to feel extremely unattractive and had suggested even more procedures to be done to my face. Being only 29 at the time I thought that was unnecessary. Dr. Imola made me feel so comfortable and when suggesting what we could do to fix my insecurities, he wanted me to still look like 'me', not like a completely different person, which was important to me. I actually waited 2 years to actually do the surgery from the first consult. I met with him several times after to discuss the surgery and he was more than happy to do so. The surgery went extremely smoothly, the actual rhinoplasty was not as painful as I was expecting. The neck liposuction was very painful. During my recovery, Lisa, (Dr. Imola's right hand person) made sure she was available by phone to make sure I was ok and my pain was managed. Dr. Imola did also call to check up on me, as well as the anesthesiologist. The surgery center they used was just amazing. Being in the medical field myself, I have very high expectations of excellent patient care and this place impressed me. I think having the stitches in my nose removed was the worst part of the procedure. Dr. Imola takes great pride in his work and I would recommend him to anyone who was looking to have anything done to their face. More
Very Happy with Results - Englewood, CO - Years ago I had surgery to repair a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Though I am both lucky and happy to be alive I was left with a significant indentation on the right side of my skull. For years I was able to mask the problem with hair, but as I aged, my hair thinned and gravity caused my eye and brow to droop. I became more and more self conscious. Dr. Imola was able to infill that area as well as, through fat grafting, to make my face more symmetrical. I feel good about myself again. I am so very happy with the results. In addition to Dr. Imola's wonderful talent/skills, he and his staff are the most selfless, customer focused professionals I have ever experienced. I can't recommend Dr. Imola highly enough. Trust that you will get the best results possible if you select this physician. More

Cheek Reconstruction Following Mohs Cancer Removal - Denver, CO - I was diagnosed with a basal carcinoma of the cheek over 1.5 years ago. The dermatologist recommended Mohs surgery to remove it so that we could keep the defect as small as possible. He also told me that he could repair the defect following its removal. After talking to some friends I learned that it would be best to have a facial plastic surgeon reconstruct the defect because that is their area of expertise. After a lot of research I decided to have Dr. Mario Imola do the reconstruction and I am thrilled that I did. The result is essentially invisible. Dr. Imola essentially borrowed tissue from the adjacent cheek and moved it into the hole created by the Mohs surgery. I would recommend a facial plastic surgeon to anyone who needs reconstruction after removal of skin cancer on the face by a dermatologist. More

62 Year Old Female Wanting to Smooth the Lines Out! - Denver, CO - At 60 years old the deep lines between my brows, deepening crows feet and forehead frown lines made me look like I was in a perpetual state of concern, pain or exhaustion. No amount of moisturizing creams or makeup could camouflage them. I didn't want anything surgical but needed something stronger to combat the reality of time. I found Dr. Mario Imola at Aesthetics by Design in Denver. He suggested we try dysport and keep a regular schedule, informing me that, if I maintained a schedule I would need less as time went and the results would last longer. That has been almost 2 years ago and what he told me was true. I forget that I used to look older only a few years ago and people can not believe my age. It's the subtle change, not the over done look that I am thrilled about. I have never had any eye drooping, bruising or swelling. The nursing staff is professional as well as friendly. Dr. Imola always comes in and discusses the procedure again and asks if I've been happy with the results. He makes sure I feel comfortable and I never feel likes he's rushing to get on to the next event. How refreshing! Yes, I'm happy and I plan on keeping up a schedule for as long as I'm aging. More

What I love about being his patient, is that every time I am finished with a procedure, I look refreshed and like a just got a great nights sleep. I have never felt overdone. He sees the underlying structure and architecture of my face and enhances my best features while minimizing my less positive ones. This is Art for my face!! Couldn't be more grateful to be his patient! More
Broken Nose, Rhinoplasty. Englewood, CO - Before I chose Dr. Imola I did a lot of research on the internet and Realself. I needed someone who knew what they were doing. I broke my nose by falling down the stairs when I was young. I looked like a hot mess! When I went in for my consult, Dr. Imola suggested a few things he could do. I wanted to look like my natural self before I broke my nose. I didn't want to look like I got a nose job. Dr. Imola didn't promise perfect results either. He was very informative on everything he would be doing before, during, and after my surgery. You would think I would be nervous going in on my Surgery day, but I was soo excited!!! I am very happy with my nose now. There is no bump and it's straight. It really takes a talented, smart, artistic person to accomplish what I needed done, and Dr. Imola is just that. He knows what he's doing and I would recommend him to anyone. More

Denver's Best Botox Doctor! - Englewood, CO - I began seeing Dr. Imola for facial botox about a year ago, when I really started noticing some lines on my forehead that I was not at all wild about. At the time, I was very nervous about whether I should really get botox and about how I would look afterwards. Well, Dr. Imola and his staff were very kind and understanding. We discussed the pros and cons and I decided to try it. That was a year ago and I have had a few subsequent sessions and I love it! Dr. Imola does an amazing job, and given his specialty is facial plastic surgery, I suspect that is why he is so good at consistently providing great botox results. I have a few friends that have switched to him as well, following mishaps with other botox providers. If you are looking for a skilled doctor for botox injections, I strongly recommend Dr. Imola. One final note, Dr. Imola's staff is top notch - they are courteous, kind, pleasant and respectful - making it a great experience all around. More
Dark Circles Under Both Eyes.- Englewood, CO - I am not one to write reviews but I have to share my thoughts and feeling about the service I receive from Doctor Imola at Colorado Facial Plastic Surgery in Englewood Colorado. After complaining to my wife about the dark circles under both eyes and how self conscious I feel about them, she made me an appointment to see Doctor Imola and discussion my options. Going into a plastic surgery office for the first time was very intimidating. But I have to say, it was quite the opposite. The staff were very friendly and the waiting area relaxing. Once I got to meet Doctor Imola and share with him the concerns I had with my dark circles, he shared with me what he could do to help. When he discussed with me about how fillers will help reduce the dark circle, he did so in a professional manner and in a "language" that I understood. I will be seeing Doctor Imola soon for my fourth filler treatment in almost two years. Thank you Doctor Imola. More
Botox. - Englewood, CO - I have been to a few clinics over the years for Botox and have never been satisfied with the results. A friend recommended I see Doctor Imola at Colorado Facial Plastic Surgery. So I made an appointment for Botox and I am so happy I did.

Ear Reconstruction. Englewood, CO - I was diagnosed with pre-melanoma of my ear by my dermatologist. She referred me to Dr. Imola as the go-to person to reconstruct the defect that would be caused by surgical removal. After researching Dr. Imola’s credentials and online reviews I decided to proceed with him. Dr. Imola transferred cartilage from my other ear and transferred skin from behind the ear to reconstruct the segment of ear that was removed. The results are amazing. His staff was very helpful in getting me ready for the surgery and explaining what to expect afterward. More
I am a 32 year old female who suffered from a horrible snow mobile accident two years ago. I was ejected face first into a tree going down hill at full speed. I suffered from major maxillofacial trauma that left me with deformities that caused severe chronic pain and major complications with getting through life's normal daily routine .

Living in Las Vegas, Nevada we arranged our travel to Denver to meet with Mario Imola and his team. Our initial consultation was the immediate relief we thought we would never find.

During my evaluation, Mario shared his experience in similar and more complex cases and the long term results gained. His confidence in his ability to take on my case was an instant comfort. He made sure that each step of the surgery was strategically planned to ensure maximum results with minimal scarring. What he likes to call, “The art of the surgery” and what he’s done for my life truly has been an art. Coming out of surgery Dr. Mario and his staff have remained to be as diligent and supportive as when we first met them. They are my medical team and have been dedicated to fighting this battle along side my family and I, in any way they can. I am a year out of my surgery and the biggest compliment is meeting new people and them not evening being able to tell I was in an accident. I can compare pre and post accident pictures and am still blown away by the results. My esthetician can’t even see my scars!

Great Results. I highly recommend Dr. Imola More
Dysport - Englewood, CO - I drive across town to see Dr. Imola because he's a face expert -- a facial plastic surgeon. And since I have to wear my face every day, I prefer to see an expert and not visit a quick-fast, everyone-is-the-same-Botox-shop. He and his staff always make me feel relaxed and comfortable, and over the years, he's continued to remove the grumpy-looking frown lines between my brows. Success! More
Three Times a BREAK. Accident Prone Nose Gets FIXED - Denver, CO - A third revision rhinoplasty was never in my playing cards. The search for a Doctor with knowledge that made sense seemed impossible. Previous surgeries, for my accident prone self was wearing and the revisions were simply band-aide botched. Natural asymmetrical nostrils and no bone support from re-breaking was adding more than a complex rhinoplasty revision needed. I struggled with BUYER BEWARE, your nose may fall off syndrome. I thought I was stuck. I searched the country, TV shows, outside of the country. I was down in vibrance, Who could blame me?, No surgeon would operate on a nose with such a profound background: large amount of scar tissue, there lack of tissue and very lacking bone support. Finding "THE DOCTOR": The search and hope was coming to an end. Two block away from house, I hear of an amazing conservative plastic (eye) surgeon. Wait, eye surgeon?, Dr. Willabee. Why Not? at this point, finding myself numb to finding "THE DOCTOR" I walk in with little enthusiasm. The words "I will not touch your nose"--- came out of these intelligent mans mouth. But?!, I have a great doctor for you, the only doctor that can do this properly. "THE DOCTOR", Dr. Mario Imola I simply want to thank great doctor's and great doctor's that know "THE DOCTOR" to go to. More
63 Yrs Old; Face Lift (For Old Acne Scarring, Exacerbated by Aging, Sagging Skin), Upper Bleph, Neck Tuck - Englewood, CO - I've had so many procedures to mitigate old acne scars, beginning in 1981 when I was in my early 30s and had dermaplaning (done with a scalpel in a hospital). Over the past 10 years, I've done probably all types of laser treatments, CO2 fraxel resurfacing, platelet plasma therapy (where they take some of your blood, spin out the platelets and inject those into your skin). Most have been somewhat painful with varying recovery times and mildly effective. However, once aging set in hard and my face began to sag, my small improvements vanished. I decided to have a face lift (if you have scarring on your cheeks, I'm sure you've pulled the skin back and notice how smooth your skin looks). I also decided that, since I was not likely to have any more cosmetic surgeries, I would have a neck lift and upper bleph (for the sagging eyebrows).I had luckily stumbled into Beryl's care years ago, and already trusted Dr. Imola (he did some facial nerve blocking for previous procedures and did the platelet procedure), but did see another doctor for a consult (I guess just because I felt I should). Happily, that other consult confirmed my choice of Dr. Imola as the right one.Whenever you have surgery, you are warned of possible complications - I did have a couple of complications , but Dr. Imola went above and beyond in seeing me during my recovery, including during the night after my surgery while I was still in the hospital. (Spending that night in the hospital is optional, but I would recommend it.) He and Lisa, his assistant, were very proactive in treating me and making me feel like I was their only priority.Now four months post-op, I am very happy with the results. It looks very natural and even friends I see often just say, wow, you're looking younger all the time. If they ask what I've done this time (like I said, I've had oh, so many procedures), they are shocked to learn I've had extensive cosmetic surgery. After pictures were posted from my 45th high school reunion last month, people commented that I looked so much younger than my classmates! The other professionals I see (hair dresser, non-medical aesthetician, eyebrow person) who see a lot of clients who've had face lifts, rave about the lack of scarring and other tell-tale signs of surgery - Dr. Imola tucks incisions and stitching behind your ears and in your scalp- apparently not every doctor does this. I had a facial this morning and the lady was looking in my eyebrows for my incision - when I told her the stitches were in the crease of the eyelid, she almost called me a liar!When people ask what my secret is, I say Dr Imola, Beryl and Lisa - and everyone else in the office who makes you feel so welcome!

Nasal Scar Revision - Denver, CO - I had a bulbous scar on the outside of my left nostril that I wanted to have revised to make less visible.

Ethnic Revision Rhinoplasty - Denver, CO - Found Dr. Imola online and read that he is very good at doing revision rhinoplasty. Drove to Denver from another town and had a consultation with him and another doctor at a different office. I chose Dr. Imola because I felt that he was the right Doctor. He explained to me the revision rhinoplasty would take 6 hours; the other doctor told me 2 1/2 hours. This was a complicated surgery because it was my 3rd one. The surgery ended up being close to 8 hours. He took the time during the consultation and explained to me what he was going to do. My nose was a mess inside due to scar tissue and I had medpour implant from previous surgery. Dr. Imola used cartilage from my ear and my ribs to reconstruct my nose and it looks amazing now. Dr. Imola's fee was $6000 but this was a revision and a complicated one. If you are looking for a rhinoplasty surgeon in Colorado, I would check him out. I'm damn happy with my results and it's been 9 months since surgery. I do have before and after pictures but don't really want to post them on the Internet. Thank you to Dr. Imola and Lisa the patient coordinator which helped me a lot. More
Voluma Done RIGHT! - Denver, CO - I am very conservative when it comes to my face and injections. Dr Imola is truly gifted and took a gentle conservative approach when I decided to get voluma to create a more defined cheekbone. I am 42 years old and just wanted to feel fresh, but not look fake. He takes an elegant approach to his technique and truly made me feel beautiful without looking like I was injected. I highly recommend him for fillers and botox. His staff is so friendly. They are not in it for the sale, but truly want their patience to be happy. More

I am 2 months out of surgery now and am still very happy with the results. I recovered quickly and couldn't have felt more supported by Dr. Imola's staff. If I ever have any facial surgery needs in the future, I will return to Dr. Imola's office, without a doubt. I can't recommend this office enough for the best possible service in the Denver area.

Nose Revision - Denver, CO - Dr.Imola performed a revision rhinoplasty on me and I love the result. Physically and mentally! I was so nervous to go back under the knife but I did not want to live like that anymore. He was very understanding of my situation and I was beyond thrilled with the entire experience. The healing process was incredible compared to my other surgeries. My eyes did not even swell! It was great and I am glad I did it. More
I had been self conscious about my facial appearance, in particular the shape of my nose since my late teens. I finally worked up the courage to have rhinoplasty done. I wish I hadn't waited as long as I did but time and money came together and I'm so glad I did it. It's made me feel so much better about my appearance and I'm looking forward to a great summer and rest of my life with my new nose. More
I had a bulbous scar on the outside of my left nostril that I wanted to have revised to make less visible. After meeting with a couple of plastic surgeons that were unsure or uncomfortable with my case, a friend told me about Dr. Imola, and I am so grateful she did! He is extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer all of my questions with confidence. At the same time, at no point did I ever feel like he was trying to "sell" me on the procedure. He was upfront about any possible risks and length of recovery time. The surgery was a tremendous success and he not only flattened my scar, but also improved the shape and contours of my nostril to better match the other side (something I was not even expecting considering other doctors didn't even know what to do!) Dr. Imola definitely over delivered on all of my expectations! Simple amazing. More
I had ultherapy done by one of Dr. Emola's aestheticians; Beryl. I had the jaw to upper cheek portion done. I am very happy with the results even a year later. It really did lift the upper cheeks up so it almost looks like I had injections. It strengthened that area so that it created a slight lift. The jaw line looks much better. I had some sagging skin around the jaw line and chin. My after pictures revealed quite a difference. It appeared to "fill in" that area. The only down side was that it hurt quite a bit to go through the procedure. They recommended ibuprofen which I did take. Since it was over the counter and not prescription, next time i'll double the dose. just very painful along the jaw line. It won't keep me from doing it again. There is no down time at all. You can go right on with your life after the procedure is over! no bruising. As far as when I was able to see positive results I'd say within a month I started to notice some lifting and looking less tired. By two months I knew it had worked. Go for it. You won't regret it.Updated on 6 May 2015:I had ultherapy done on my lower face and upper neck again after two years. I was 61 when I had it done the first time. I am now 63. I was pleased with the subtle lifting of the areas which were treated the last time. I was starting to feel that I needed another sprucing up so I went for it again. It wasn't as painful as I remembered from the first time. I took 800 mg of IBuprofen, 500 mg tylenol and used the topical numbing cream. My ascthetician gave me two squishy balls to squeeze and a small vibrator that laid on my stomach. Any time I felt pain I used them and it was soothing and took my mind off the zingers. It's been two days and I see some very minor bruising but barely visible. My face is a little tender but even that is minor. There is some swelling but again, nothing real noticable. My goal is the same as last time; a little lifting of the lower face around the chin and jaw line. I was noticeable last time and I'd love to have it work again. I'll keep you posted. The cost was under $1000 because my original procedure was a reduced rate due to it being new to Dr. Emola's office. I was charged half price this time since I'm a return client. I'll repost something in a month. That's about the amount of time it took last time for me to notice some results. Two months into it I was pleased that my money was well spent. Let's see if being two years older is as successful. More
Having cracked my nose a few times in life, it seems that there were a couple of issues that may have been the culprit for some breathing woes. With these issues increasing, mainly at night, and a nose I never cared for, I decided to consult with a few plastic surgeons. Figured I could maybe resolve both concerns at once and, being my face, I wanted a credible plastic surgeon involved. More
Had I known what I know now, I would have chosen Dr. Imola for my initial rhinoplasty. Unfortunately, I didn’t thoroughly research the process or meet with multiple doctors for my initial and as a result I spent a year and half dwelling over my nose and saving up to fix my lack of responsibility. Like many of you on the ‘revision rhinoplasty’ blog, I was devastated with my results. I chose a high-profile ENT/plastic surgeon out of Denver who specialized in rhinoplasty. I figured I couldn’t go wrong. I should have lived with my original nose but I couldn’t not know the possibility so I went through with the rhinoplasty. While I admit I had a great profile (I went for hump removal), the aesthetics were completely unattractive--frontal view--and every, (literally every), aspect of my nose was altered: it was longer, wider, flared nostrils with a completely redone tip. The smile everyone says you will get back after a few months was gone—no more teeth show. My nose looked and felt like a prosthetic limb that was added on to my face… and it didn’t fit.After a year of expressing my concerns to the doctor and being dismissed by both he and his staff with what a great job it was, I knew I needed to find a professional because the nose I had was unacceptable. This process brought me to Dr. Imola. I selected Dr. Imola after a thorough search. I met with multiple doctors in different states to hear their recommendations. I took my time and scoured the RealSelf website. What I found in Dr. Imola was he was personal (good bed-side manner), he listened to my concerns, he was honest and explained what he could and could not do with what he had to work with and what I wanted, and he wasn’t rushed in the appointments. He showed me, and then showed me again, what he was going to do. Knowing my husband was hesitant for me to go through with the procedure again, Dr. Imola discussed with him the process I would be going through to put him at ease. His follow-up was thorough and his office staff attentive. There is something to be said about compassion, understanding, and follow through. As for my nose, I finally have harmony. Dr. Imola has an eye for aesthetics and made the changes that were needed to get my nose back in balance with the rest of my features. My confidence is back and I am no longer embarrassed to look people in the eye. I understand that with any plastic surgery experience there is always the possibility of undesirable results regardless of the doctor’s qualification and experience. The most experienced doctor isn’t always going to have clients who are 100% satisfied. However, particularly in the area of plastic surgery, it is critical to have a doctor who is empathetic, willing to listen, and be accountable. How they handle questions, concerns, or insecurities of their clients after the surgery is just as important as picking a well-qualified surgeon. It’s hard to know before the surgery if a doctor is going to handle themselves with grace and dignity after an unsatisfactory surgery. While my surgery was a success with Dr. Imola and I only had minor insecurities during the healing process based off my initial surgery, Dr. Imola never dismissed or down played my concerns but made sure I was comfortable before I left the office. This was not the case with my initial rhinoplasty experience. I am not one to write reviews but people deserve to be recognized for quality work, engaging professionally, and being honest, and Dr. Imola is all of those. More
I was referred to Dr. Imola by my primary care physician. I suffered major facial injuries which required extensive surgery. When I went to my first appointment Dr. Imola and his staff were very pleasant and friendly in a time of great concern not knowing the extent of the surgery required. Dr. Imola was very honest and straight forward about my condition and the steps that were necessary to repair my facial injuries. I was worried that with the amount of hardware and the extent of my injuries that there might be noticeable changes to my face. A year after surgery, I am amazed with the results and how little my appearance has changed. The scars are almost non-existent which is amazing considering the amount of plastic surgery required to repair my injuries. I would highly recommend Dr. Imola to anyone who would require facial plastic surgery. More
Dr Imola did a beautiful job on my procedure. My eyes are open and my brow much less heavy. I have had many positive compliments but most importantly I am delighted with the result myself. The office staff was professional and assisted with preparing me for everything I needed to know around the surgery. The surgical center staff gave me excellent care. Dr Imola was assuring and comforting and my result is excellent. I would highly recommend Dr Imola to anyone considering facial plastic surgery. More
I had some issues with the juvederm injections. Apparently, I have developed an allergic reaction to the filler. I called the office and they were so responsive. They returned my call within an hour, suggested I send photos of the issue and then worked me in within two days for a follow up appointment. I can't say enough about how responsive they were. Excellent patient care. I saw Dr. Imola and he was so kind, listened to my explanation of events and immediately said. Ok, we just need to take care of this. He treated me without charge and requested an additional follow up appt. I was concerned we were going to have to discuss surgery but he said lets just work this issue and we can discuss the next step when things have all calmed down. More
I came across Dr. Imola on realself.com and from my initial greeting by the front desk staff to my latest follow up appointment last week, my experience with Dr. Imola and his entire staff has been excellent!. The support staff has always been very professional. My initial consultation with Dr. Imola was very positive. After discussing my concerns (lower eyelid), he outlined how he could address the procedure and provided various options. I knew after my consultation with Dr. Imola I knew that I would choose to work with him and I was convinced that I would be in good hands. It now has been two months since surgery and I'm very happy with the results! I recommend Dr. Imola with absolute confidence. More
If you are considering plastic surgery but want perfect results, go to Dr. Imola! My rhinoplasty experience was amazing and everything i ever dreamed. Dr. Imola is a perfectionist and I'm so happy that i chose him after meeting with other surgeons i decided that he was the right choice for me. He asked me what was of most importance for me and what i expected from my rhinoplasty which for me was hump removal from profile, and deviated septum. He also was upfront about realistic results and wasn't afraid to tell me what was not. Although he defiently went above and beyond and it looks even better than what i was hoping for! Truly very talented my nose looks so natural and perfect. The director, Lisa, was incredibly helpful and did everything in her power to make sure that everything with my surgery went as planned which I'm very grateful for. Even after my surgery she kept in close touch with me which helped a lot when i had questions or concerns, this made my recovery a lot easier! I am so happy with my results and my plastic surgery experience with Dr. Imola. More
I was hesitant to get plastic surgery, and indeed had put off getting my deviated septum fixed due to a previous doctor who suggested that was my goal. However, when I went to a good ENT, he explained it was medically necessary, and described the deviated septum surgery to me. Once I realized I was going to be put under anesthesia in a serious procedure either way, I took the weekend and thought seriously about my goals. I decided to consult with his recommended plastic surgeon, Dr. Imola. He was very matter-of fact, and explained exactly what he would do, both to fix my deviation and for cosmetic purposes.I was very concerned that I did not want to look "too" different. I am a performer, and altering my look significantly could impact my career. I showed him photos of what I did and didn't want (Jennifer Gray vs Bette Middler), and he cautioned me that what I wanted was a relatively minor change to a relatively large nose (he said it more nicely!). He showed me photos of what he would recommend using software and based on my requests. I was pleased with the compromise at which we arrived. Before the surgery, he again checked in to be sure that the relatively minor changes were what I wanted. They were. The surgery was a success. It was definitely, 100% WORTH IT. I can breathe through my nose for the first time since 6th grade, and I also feel much more confident. It wasn't a fun recovery, but Dr. Imola's Clinical Director/Patient Coordinator, Lisa, was so helpful and responsive about all my questions. They also provided excellent scar control products, as well as anti-bruising crème as part of the cost. They had really good tips about preparing for the surgery and recovery. I was back at work in one week, but would recommend taking 10 days to recover if you can. I still had some significant bruising, and was unable to take the good painkillers during the day so I could drive. My nose is straighter by far, the S-curve deviation is 90% corrected (which he had cautioned me would be the case- it is very nearly impossible to completely correct); the bump where I broke it is gone; and he reinforced the inside of my nostrils using my own cartilage, so my nostrils no longer collapse when I breathe, even with a sinus infection! The scarring is very minimal. The cartilage removal site was within my hairline, so it is virtually undetectable. The scar from the surgery itself is under my nose, and really difficult to see already, even after 6 months. With makeup it is almost invisible. The tip of my nose is slightly upwardly tilted, which I had not originally requested, but he had suggested in my consult. It is subtle, but makes my face and nose much more attractive. Dr. Imola is very good at his job. He is precise and knows exactly what to suggest to get the result you want, and he was very good about honoring my request for a subtle job. Some friends noticed, but a lot asked me if I had lost weight or gotten a new haircut! Seriously!! If you are on the fence, don't wait 20 years like I did. Go for it. More
A friend of mine recommended this very friendly and welcoming office to me several years ago. I have been a patient since and have been seeing Dr. Mario Imola for the treatment of my frown line and the horizontal forehead lines. I have had Botox treatment done before seeing Dr. Mario Imola, but not quiet with the same beautiful result. He knows how to keep the look natural, but make all my wrinkles disappear. I can highly recommend this office. More
Ear Lobe Repair - Denver, CO - Dr. Imola did an excellent job. I felt no pain at all during the procedure. He told me it may sting when they did the numbing and I still didn't feel a thing.

Dr. Imola Hump Reduction Rhinoplasty - Denver, CO - Ever since I can remember I've wanted to have this rhinoplasty procedure. The slight hump and top of my nose constantly made me self-conscious in photos, driving cars and everyday actions in my life. I can't remember the last time I wasn't worried about what my nose looked like in public. A little under a year ago, I went to my first consultation looking for a doctor. I knew I wanted a doctor who specialized in only facial plastic surgery. Somehow the thought of someone performing a breast augmentation or a totally different plastic surgery the day before my rhinoplasty made me anxious. After a few consultations with doctors in the Denver area, I knew right when I met with Dr. Imola that I wanted to schedule my surgery with him. Now, after a year of funding, my surgery is less than a week away! During our most recent consultation, Dr. Imola and I discussed what I wanted in my new nose. The hump reduction was what I mostly cared about as well as a reduction of the tip. I told him I desired a much more feminine nose. I showed him this photo as an example of what I was looking for. Very subtle but feminine. He edited the online photo of myself so I could see what to expect after surgery. I was very happy with what he showed me, but he told me I couldn't take the before and after photos home for legal reasons. I wish I could say that didn't make me a bit nervous; however, I am very comfortable with my choice of surgeon. All of Dr. Imola's previous patients supported a very natural look. I'm very excited to have a natural feminine nose finally! I will update my photos a day or so before my surgery so you will see my full progress. Thank you for reading, I will keep you updated. Until then! More

18 Year Old Rhinoplasty - Denver, CO - Open rhinoplasty done 12/18.

Feel free to ask any questions! More

Browlift and Upper Eyelid Surgery - Denver, CO - Dr Imola did a beautiful job on my procedure. My eyes are open and my brow much less heavy. I have had many positive compliments but most importantly I am delighted with the result myself. The office staff was professional and assisted with preparing me for everything I needed to know around the surgery. The surgical center staff gave me excellent care. Dr Imola was assuring and comforting and my result is excellent. I would highly recommend Dr Imola to anyone considering facial plastic surgery. More
Rhinoplastry, septoplasty & otoplasty - Denver, CO - I contemplated several cosmetic changes for years, but never found a physician who I was comfortable with to perform the surgeries. During that time I interviewed surgeons and asked physicians and friends for recommendations but just never found someone who could answer all my questions and make me feel at ease with the plan, the procedures, and the recover. Then I found Dr. Imola. At the first meeting he answered every question I had in detail and gave me as much time as I wanted to fully understand the whole experience. He was clear and thorough with each response. When I was unsure about a particular step, he offered a test to be certain I would not have any adverse, allergic reactions. He is patient and methodical as is his entire staff. He has lots of pre-surgery steps that help the post-operative recovery. The surgery itself was non eventful and I went home with no pain. His staff checked on me regularly as did he with numerous follow up appointments. He has a full staff to assist with lasers, make-up and other services to augment and enhance the results of any procedure and provide on-going skin care. Some of the other bids were less and were even more convenient. When I look at the pictures I realize how much work was done and can see the changes, but guess what? No one else has noticed the surgeries. They think I look rested, tan, younger, had my hair done …. It’s great! I had rhinoplasty, septoplasty and otoplasty.Updated on 18 Jan 2015:One year post procedures all the swelling is gone and most of the feeling has returned. With the final form visible, asymmetry was visible in the nose, ears, and earlobes. A minor revision resolved the ear and some of the bridge, but the nose is permanently asymmetrical unless I go in for another major revision. The nose looks good in profile. The earlobes will also remain asymmetrical unless I have an implant to increase the volume in one earlobe and reduce the puckering of the scar. I wish I had skipped the earlobes altogether. More
Successful Ultherapy - Englewood, CO - I had ultherapy done by one of Dr. Emola's aestheticians; Beryl. I had the jaw to upper cheek portion done. I am very happy with the results even a year later. It really did lift the upper cheeks up so it almost looks like I had injections. It strengthened that area so that it created a slight lift. The jaw line looks much better. I had some sagging skin around the jaw line and chin. My after pictures revealed quite a difference. It appeared to "fill in" that area. The only down side was that it hurt quite a bit to go through the procedure. They recommended ibuprofen which I did take. Since it was over the counter and not prescription, next time i'll double the dose. just very painful along the jaw line. It won't keep me from doing it again. There is no down time at all. You can go right on with your life after the procedure is over! no bruising. As far as when I was able to see positive results I'd say within a month I started to notice some lifting and looking less tired. By two months I knew it had worked. Go for it. You won't regret it.Updated on 6 May 2015:I had ultherapy done on my lower face and upper neck again after two years. I was 61 when I had it done the first time. I am now 63. I was pleased with the subtle lifting of the areas which were treated the last time. I was starting to feel that I needed another sprucing up so I went for it again. It wasn't as painful as I remembered from the first time. I took 800 mg of IBuprofen, 500 mg tylenol and used the topical numbing cream. My ascthetician gave me two squishy balls to squeeze and a small vibrator that laid on my stomach. Any time I felt pain I used them and it was soothing and took my mind off the zingers. It's been two days and I see some very minor bruising but barely visible. My face is a little tender but even that is minor. There is some swelling but again, nothing real noticable. My goal is the same as last time; a little lifting of the lower face around the chin and jaw line. I was noticeable last time and I'd love to have it work again. I'll keep you posted. The cost was under $1000 because my original procedure was a reduced rate due to it being new to Dr. Emola's office. I was charged half price this time since I'm a return client. I'll repost something in a month. That's about the amount of time it took last time for me to notice some results. Two months into it I was pleased that my money was well spent. Let's see if being two years older is as successful. More

We scheduled my surgery date, than I had a million question so I called Lisa Adams (patient coordination) a million times she got back to me very quickly and answered Every question as well as she could, we had to change my surgery time and hospital due to the fact I wasn't using my insurance anymore, she moved patients around and kept the same date for me, she s such a sweetheart she had a huge part in this because she did all she could. The day of surgery everything went as planned I had a sore throat bruised eyes but no pain, not very swollen either. Bruising lasted about 2 weeks, and my nose was swollen for a good 2 months, now 8 months later I couldn't be happier with my nose I love it, I love taking side pictures which was always a no no for me as you can see in the picture I had a huge hump on my nose, I will find a frontal pic and post it the front is even cuter. I had a great experience and I'm glad he was my surgeon.Updated on 22 Jul 2014:Ok so here is my updated before and after. More
Follow Up with Dr. Imola - Denver, CO - I had some issues with the juvederm injections. Apparently, I have developed an allergic reaction to the filler. I called the office and they were so responsive. They returned my call within an hour, suggested I send photos of the issue and then worked me in within two days for a follow up appointment. I can't say enough about how responsive they were. Excellent patient care. I saw Dr. Imola and he was so kind, listened to my explanation of events and immediately said. Ok, we just need to take care of this. He treated me without charge and requested an additional follow up appt. I was concerned we were going to have to discuss surgery but he said lets just work this issue and we can discuss the next step when things have all calmed down. More
A Good Experience... - Englewood, CO - Had I known what I know now, I would have chosen Dr. Imola for my initial rhinoplasty. Unfortunately, I didn’t thoroughly research the process or meet with multiple doctors for my initial and as a result I spent a year and half dwelling over my nose and saving up to fix my lack of responsibility. Like many of you on the ‘revision rhinoplasty’ blog, I was devastated with my results. I chose a high-profile ENT/plastic surgeon out of Denver who specialized in rhinoplasty. I figured I couldn’t go wrong. I should have lived with my original nose but I couldn’t not know the possibility so I went through with the rhinoplasty. While I admit I had a great profile (I went for hump removal), the aesthetics were completely unattractive--frontal view--and every, (literally every), aspect of my nose was altered: it was longer, wider, flared nostrils with a completely redone tip. The smile everyone says you will get back after a few months was gone—no more teeth show. My nose looked and felt like a prosthetic limb that was added on to my face… and it didn’t fit.After a year of expressing my concerns to the doctor and being dismissed by both he and his staff with what a great job it was, I knew I needed to find a professional because the nose I had was unacceptable. This process brought me to Dr. Imola. I selected Dr. Imola after a thorough search. I met with multiple doctors in different states to hear their recommendations. I took my time and scoured the RealSelf website. What I found in Dr. Imola was he was personal (good bed-side manner), he listened to my concerns, he was honest and explained what he could and could not do with what he had to work with and what I wanted, and he wasn’t rushed in the appointments. He showed me, and then showed me again, what he was going to do. Knowing my husband was hesitant for me to go through with the procedure again, Dr. Imola discussed with him the process I would be going through to put him at ease. His follow-up was thorough and his office staff attentive. There is something to be said about compassion, understanding, and follow through. As for my nose, I finally have harmony. Dr. Imola has an eye for aesthetics and made the changes that were needed to get my nose back in balance with the rest of my features. My confidence is back and I am no longer embarrassed to look people in the eye. I understand that with any plastic surgery experience there is always the possibility of undesirable results regardless of the doctor’s qualification and experience. The most experienced doctor isn’t always going to have clients who are 100% satisfied. However, particularly in the area of plastic surgery, it is critical to have a doctor who is empathetic, willing to listen, and be accountable. How they handle questions, concerns, or insecurities of their clients after the surgery is just as important as picking a well-qualified surgeon. It’s hard to know before the surgery if a doctor is going to handle themselves with grace and dignity after an unsatisfactory surgery. While my surgery was a success with Dr. Imola and I only had minor insecurities during the healing process based off my initial surgery, Dr. Imola never dismissed or down played my concerns but made sure I was comfortable before I left the office. This was not the case with my initial rhinoplasty experience. I am not one to write reviews but people deserve to be recognized for quality work, engaging professionally, and being honest, and Dr. Imola is all of those. More

I have had six revision rhinoplasty surgery's. I really could not fathom that a Dr. could disfigure me, I was naive. My nose caved in on one side after one surgery, another surgery looked as if the Dr. Used a machete. Every surgery I had to wait over a year sometimes two to have a corrective surgery. Each time I looked worse so much time, money and pain. I promised myself one last revision, I really had no choice I could not live with this face. I had many consolations with many Drs telling me they would not help because of the failed revisions. Other Drs including other states I did not feel comfortable with they seems uncertain. When I found COFP and saw all the revisions Dr. Imola had done I knew I needed to meet him. Soon as I met Dr. Imola I felt his confidence and understanding of my situation. The best decision I have ever made!! He gave me my real self back. I nicknamed him Dr. Asclepius ( God of medicine and healing) he healed me. His talent, conviction, skill and artistry is evident in his work. I can now move forward. Words can not express my gratitude. Thank you Dr. Mario "Asclepius" Imola. Tara Beals More
I talked to a number of physicians before deciding to use Dr. Imola for my facelift. I was really impressed with Dr. Imola’s knowledge and experience as well as the results of the work he had done on other patients. I liked the fact that he specialized on facial procedures. And really important to me was that he took the time to patiently explain the procedures and options and listen to any questions or concerns I had.Dr Imola was very thorough in the operation, took the time to do things right for long-lasting results and no side effects. The operation went quite well and I was amazed how fast and easy was the recovery. The follow-up visits were very good and Dr Imola was very thorough to make sure all was well.Peggy and the staff at the office are great and very helpful both before and after the surgery. They really helped to make things easier, answer questions, and make sure everything is set up well.I am really happy with the outcome and that I chose Dr. Imola. I believe Dr Imola and his staff strive for the best outcome for the patient and strive to be the best in the business. More
I was interested in a refinement rhinoplasty to eliminate the bump in the bridge of my nose and narrow the tip. Dr. Imola did an incredible job, explained the procedure clearly and carefully so I new exactly what to expect. It's been over four months since my surgery, and each time I arrive for a follow up, the expert level of care and expertise is consistent. Dr. Imola and the staff at his office at Colorado Facial Plastic Surgery couldn't be nicer or more professional. I'm so happy with my results. Exactly what I wanted. Highly recommended! More
Broken nose/improve breathing/ correct assymetry and deviated Septum - Englewood, CO - At the age of 15 I broke my nose by running into a glass door. Ever since I have had major issues with breathing. I am currently 27. I had a deviated septum, which did not allow air to run through my nose. Additionally, my nose shape changed, I developed a little bump, plus it was assymetrical. I finally decided to have a rhinoplasty to improve my breathing. Dr. Imola was the second surgeon that consulted my. I really like his approach as he analyzed my face features and told me what the best fit would be. My main concern was the breathing, and he said that he would definitely correct that. Also, he told me that since it will be a major surgery might as well correct the shape of my nose and make it as symmetric as possible. He told me that my nose will not be perfect, but he will do his best to make it look better. I had agreed. My insurance covered the medical part, but also had to pay out of pocket, as I was having some plasty as well. The reason I decided to see Dr. Imola is because my PCP has referred me to him, she spoke very well of his work, but also, he has the best reviews online. I did see another doctor before him, but he wasn't really willing to work with my insurance, and when he showed me a photo of how my nose will look like it did not fit my face at all. Dr. Imola specifically said that I need a Greko-Roman nose, and that is exactly what I needed to hear. I was treated very well, Lisa Holder (clinical director) handled everything professionally, explained all the risks/benefits, and also gave me her cell phone number. She even texted me the day before and after surgery to make sure I was ok. Anyway, recovery was not the best, but definitely worth it. I can finally sleep at night without having to get up in the middle of the night to use nose spray/drops. My nose looks amazing, just like it did before I broke it. It fits my face features, people that I work with/know haven't even noticed the difference. I did not expect such amazing results!!!! More

Aesthetics by Design has my highest recommendation.

The end results exceed expectations - Revision Rhinoplasty - Englewood, CO - Following a septorhinoplasty gone awry, I searched high and low for a best-in-class doctor to remedy the situation.

It's a Miracle! - Englewood, CO - I had the worst experience, with surgery on my nose, due to a Deviated Septum. I went to a doctor who specialized in Breast Augmentation, he told me he could fix my nose. I couldn't breath from my right side and I had problems sleeping, not to mention I had an "S" shaped nose... I called over ten doctors and had several consultations and no doctor wanted to touch the extensive surgery I had prior. I was told to go to an ENT. I still had no luck with finding a doctor who felt comfortable doing another surgery. The right side of my nose was caving in and I was getting sinus infections at least six a year... I went to my practitioner and he told me about how great the work of Dr. Imola was, I felt nervous and I didn't want to go through another surgery without the results I wanted and needed. Upon arriving, I spoke with Dr. Imola's staff and they were so diligent and quick to get my prior medical records, they treated me so good when I arrived and they really took time to listen to me. When I met Dr. Imola, I was hesitant about the consultation just based on how young he looks. After meeting with him and seeing before and after pictures and not to mention his extensive medical training... I was confident he could help me. I came in a second and third time to go over all the details of my procedure and to make sure both Dr. Imola and I were on the same page. The surgery center was also amazing! I am so happy and I blessed I found Dr. Imola, Lisa and the rest of the staff, Thank you!!! More
Deviated Septum & Reduction Rhinoplasty - Denver, CO - For the past 11 years, since I was about 13 years old, I knew I wanted a rhinoplasty. About a year ago I decided to start researching the surgery and looking for doctors in Denver. After consulting with several different surgeons, I found Dr. Imola. I appreciated that he really took his time answering my questions and listening to what I wanted during the first consultation. Since I am a bit of a control freak, I wanted to make sure I chose the right surgeon, so I did my research and made sure the doctor I chose had a lot of experience performing rhinoplasties. I am so glad that I actually went through with the surgery and most importantly, I’m glad I chose Dr. Imola as my surgeon. At just 3 months post op, my nose looks better than I could of imagined. The shape fits my face perfectly and I couldn’t be happier with it. I would recommend Dr. Imola to anyone considering this surgery. Dr. Imola and his staff were great throughout the whole process. Lisa, the patient coordinator, was so wonderful- She checked up on me several times after my surgery and answered any questions I had. I honestly felt absolutely no pain after the surgery and I only took pain medication the first day. It was overall a great experience. Even family and friends that were skeptical about me having this surgery tell me how happy they are for me and love that my nose looks very natural. The only thing I regret is not doing it sooner. Truly a great surgeon! Thank you Dr. Imola and staff! More
54 -looking Older Than I Feel - Denver, CO - I was concerned about fillers, I just didn't like the idea of putting something foreign in my body,but I finally went for it, and I'm so happy I did. Radiesse made such a difference in my appearance. I feel so much more confident. I have returned to Dr. Imola to have juvederm injected around my eyes and again I'm extremely happy. Lisa, his assistant is very patient and made me feel I was in charge of how much and where I wanted. More
Neck Lift and Lower Facelift - Englewood, CO - I am 48 days post op and am thrilled with my decision to roll back the years off of my neck and face! My neck is awesome looking and no more jowls! The jowls had been bothering me since I was 36 and were getting worse every year - there just wasn't anything that fillers could do to help with jowls or my neck.The first 3 days were the worst part of the whole process. By day 5 I felt so much better, but I didn't feel like I looked like myself anymore because the swelling distorted my face. I am happy to report that after returning to work 2 weeks after surgery, all I got were tons of compliments about how I must have had a great vacation because I looked "great", "rested", "thinner", etc. (I did lose 8 pounds during that first two weeks - food is a bit hard to manage with the tightness in your mouth - so that helped with my transformation.)I resumed a light work out about Day 7 or 8 - just a stationary bike and some weights and then every day after that, gradually increased the duration and added planks, sit-ups, etc. After about 20 days of sleeping sitting up on my sofa, I finally felt comfortable enough to sleep laying down (but still kept my head slightly elevated with pillows). I think the Vitamedica and cutting out all alcohol for a month before surgery really helped with the swelling and bruising. The bruising on my neck was treated about a week after surgery with both IPL to break up the bruising and a lymphatic drainage massage from the folks that my doc has trained to work on his patients. I saw a difference in one day - it was amazing. The bruising on the sides of my face definitely took longer to go away, but after two weeks I easily covered them with makeup. By Day 23 I felt like I was pretty much back to normal but looked 10 years younger!At this point, my focus is on the scar and lumpiness under my chin which I've been told is normal and subsides with time. Dr. Imola has injected me a few times with cortizone and the lump is almost gone. I will want to have the chin scar treated soon to help reduce the redness. The other scars are completely unnoticeable or hidden behind my ears. After the first week back to work, the tightness around my neck combined with sitting all day resulted in major neck and shoulder pain/tightness. So went back to get massages - two within 3 days of each other did wonders. In summary, I know I look so much better than before. What I love about Dr. Imola's work on my face is that I don't look like I've had "work done". I look younger but not pulled or stretched. I'm glad I didn't wait one day longer to have the surgery!

Rhinoplastry, septoplasty & otoplasty - Denver, CO - I contemplated several cosmetic changes for years, but never found a physician who I was comfortable with to perform the surgeries. During that time I interviewed surgeons and asked physicians and friends for recommendations but just never found someone who could answer all my questions and make me feel at ease with the plan, the procedures, and the recover. Then I found Dr. Imola. At the first meeting he answered every question I had in detail and gave me as much time as I wanted to fully understand the whole experience. He was clear and thorough with each response. When I was unsure about a particular step, he offered a test to be certain I would not have any adverse, allergic reactions. He is patient and methodical as is his entire staff. He has lots of pre-surgery steps that help the post-operative recovery. The surgery itself was non eventful and I went home with no pain. His staff checked on me regularly as did he with numerous follow up appointments. He has a full staff to assist with lasers, make-up and other services to augment and enhance the results of any procedure and provide on-going skin care. Some of the other bids were less and were even more convenient. When I look at the pictures I realize how much work was done and can see the changes, but guess what? No one else has noticed the surgeries. They think I look rested, tan, younger, had my hair done …. It’s great! I had rhinoplasty, septoplasty and otoplasty. More
Couldn't be happier with the results - Revision Rhinoplasty - Englewood, CO - There is no question that the decision to move forward with any type of cosmetic procedure is one that requires a lot of careful (and logical) thinking; especially when a revision is being considered. I had my original rhinoplasty performed about two years ago by a local surgeon here in Colorado Springs. The outcome warranted another procedure; which was done by the same surgeon the following year. Unfortunately, the result was not very encouraging. My nose developed a “C-Shaped” deformity and after those two procedures, the experience left me with a lot of regret. The thought of going through this whole process with another surgeon was discouraging; I wasn't sure if the risks outweighed the reward and I was aware of the diminishing returns that come with multiple procedures on a given area. But after about six months, I reluctantly started doing a bit of research on surgeons that specialize in revisions and spent several weeks reading through everything from their credentials/experience to their patient reviews. Fortunately for me, one of the best surgeons in the country happened to be less than an hour away. I had visited with a few other surgeons in the Denver area before I met with Dr. Imola . At this point, the opinions I received from the other surgeons were surprisingly one-dimensional given the complexity of the procedure. Dr. Imola was the exact opposite; he addressed my concerns and expectations in a way that drew focus on a collective, yet tangible goal. Furthermore, Dr. Imola went into great detail about the procedure itself as well as the risks; two very important things that are often overlooked by a patient. The apprehension that I had before was now non-existent and I couldn't have had more confidence in someone than I did for Dr. Imola. I’m about 6 months post op and couldn't be happier with the results. It still amazes me what Dr. Imola was able to accomplish; my first surgeon didn't leave him much to work with yet the results have exceeded my expectations. The surgery itself went well and I am extremely thankful that Dr. Imola performed a closed versus an open rhinoplasty. It may have made the procedure more difficult for him but he did what was best for me and took his time in making sure everything was done to his standards (which you will quickly learn are very high). In any type cosmetic surgery, there is a fine line between mediocre results and amazing results and Dr. Imola isn't considered one of the best surgeons in the country because of second-rate work .Whether you are considering a procedure for the first time or seeking a revision, visiting with Dr. Imola might be the best decision you make. It was for me. More
65 Year Old Male with Severe Sun Damage. - Englewood, CO - I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and the staff at Colorado Facial Plastic Surgery for the excellent care and treatment that I have been receiving for my skin condition during the past six months. The entire staff is so welcoming and pleasant to work with that I look forward to each visit with a great deal of eagerness and the understanding that I am in the best of care. At Aesthetics by Design, Dr. Imola’s medical spa, Beryl (Director of Skincare) has been providing the chemical peel treatments for the severe sun-damaged and aging skin on my head and face – the outcome has been excellent with significantly improved skin condition. I can state with certainty that Beryl is an excellent clinician with superior chair side manners and she is a real pleasure to work with. She is most knowledgeable and confident in what she does and certainly understands the procedural aspects of the process in a superior manner, to which the outcome is a true manifestation of the treatment rendered. I would like to provide a strong recommendation to anyone who has sun damaged skin to give Beryl and COFPS serious consideration.I have also received Botox injections and I am extremely impressed with the results, as I look completely natural and so much younger. I would highly recommend Dr. Imola and his professional care team for any of the injectables. More
The Very Best Cosmetic Surgeon! - Denver, CO - I met with Dr Imola and shared my anguish over my obviously large nose. During our consultaion, he discussed what was possible and what I could expect after the surgery. We also discussed a lower blepharoplasty procedure and I was a good candidate for that as well. My surgery was a great success, and the results of the two procedures are so natural. I had some slight bruising that cleared up after a couple weeks. I followed Dr. Imola's instructions and didn't have a single problem. My results are incredible, I'm very pleased! More
Excellent Result -Denver, CO - I was interested in a refinement rhinoplasty to eliminate the bump in the bridge of my nose and narrow the tip. Dr. Imola did an incredible job, explained the procedure clearly and carefully so I new exactly what to expect. It's been over four months since my surgery, and each time I arrive for a follow up, the expert level of care and expertise is consistent. Dr. Imola and the staff at his office at Colorado Facial Plastic Surgery couldn't be nicer or more professional. I'm so happy with my results. Exactly what I wanted. Highly recommended! More
My Six Rhinoplasty! Last Last Thank You to Dr. Imola! - Englewood, CO - I have had six revision rhinoplasty surgery's. I really could not fathom that a Dr. could disfigure me, I was naive. My nose caved in on one side after one surgery, another surgery looked as if the Dr. Used a machete. Every surgery I had to wait over a year sometimes two to have a corrective surgery. Each time I looked worse so much time, money and pain. I promised myself one last revision, I really had no choice I could not live with this face. I had many consolations with many Drs telling me they would not help because of the failed revisions. Other Drs including other states I did not feel comfortable with they seems uncertain. When I found COFP and saw all the revisions Dr. Imola had done I knew I needed to meet him. Soon as I met Dr. Imola I felt his confidence and understanding of my situation. The best decision I have ever made!! He gave me my real self back. I nicknamed him Dr. Asclepius ( God of medicine and healing) he healed me. His talent, conviction, skill and artistry is evident in his work. I can now move forward. Words can not express my gratitude. Thank you Dr. Mario "Asclepius" Imola. Tara Beals More

One Year Update- Denver, CO - I am having surgery on Friday. I have thought about the appearance of my nose for a long time. For the most part it hasn't bothered me but as I get older aging in general along with a big nose is hard. I am 50.

Refinement Rhinoplasty - Beautiful Result! - Denver, CO - My nose was broken and pushed slightly from the midline when I was 18 and I have hated it ever since. I was hesitant to undergo surgery to correct this because my friends and family had always said it "wasn't that bad".

Looks More Beautiful Everyday! - Denver, CO - I always felt if I got my nose fixed I could just move forward with my life and stop being so self-conscious about it. A lot of people told me before I got it done that I don't need it and looked beautiful the way I was, but I know I wouldn't be happy and forget about how much I disliked my nose unless I got it done. My parents were 100% supportive of the decision, I never complained about anything but they could see that this thing really bugged me so we moved forward with the decision in July 2012. Now the reason why my surgery cost a bit more than the average nose job is because in March 2011 I thought I found a loophole with insurance that if I went to my real doctor for breathing problems (which I definitely had) I would also get the bump shaved down as long with my breathing fixed! Well long story I got a septoplasty for a crooked septum and that's all the doctor did. My breathing was fixed 150% and covered by insurance and I could finally breath out of my nose! I should have knocked out two birds with one stone by getting a rhinoplasty done at the same time but I didn't know better and just assumed that's what the doctor would do but no, insurance blah blah. I had to wait a whole year before a doctor could touch my nose to get a cosmetic rhinoplasty. Because of the previous septoplasty a lot of cartilage had been taken out of my nose and there was little to work with with made the surgery more difficult. Dr. Imola handled this amazingly and I am happy with the outcome. I have an unique gap behind my ear where he took cartilage and a cute nose now. This procedure has changed my life positively in many ways. I feel confident when talking to people and know they are not taking in my nose and defining it as part of my person which bugged me before. It is still healing which can take MONTHS and years to settle down in the shape it's going to stay in but overall I am happy. There are some things that are not perfect like I think the tip is a little big/swollen still I wish it would go down, and there is a bit of cartilage that looks uneven when looking up at the nose. BUT The bump is gone, it's sloped and straight. It looks so cute from the side and fits my face perfectly. Updated on 13 Apr 2013: 9 months after. I want to say that rhinoplasty definitely improved my life. I don't worry or stress about how I look ever I know I'm fine and people arnt looking at my nose, people who hate their nose will relate to that! 100% happy I got it done More
Reduction Rhinoplasty - Denver, CO - Hello! I had my surgery on May 24th. I have been self conscience over my nose since middle school.

I still wanted to have it done because I knew it would give me confidence. I really researched on what surgeon I wanted. I found Dr. Imola. I saw countless good reviews about him. My consultation was wonderful. I felt very comfortable and confident with him. The actual surgery went well. I was expecting pain afterwards, but it really was just congestion that was uncomfortable. I bruise very easily, and I did have a lot of bruising and swelling. After a week I looked a lot more like myself. I am now a little over 3 weeks post op, and I really love my results so far. I know I'm still swollen, but I already feel like my new nose frames my face better.Updated on 24 Jun 2013:Hey all, not much of a difference from my last post. Just waiting for my tip swelling to go down. I know you should stay away from salty food, but I do love food fast! Anyways, hope everyone is doing well:)Updated on 24 Jun 2013:Updated on 26 Jun 2013:I saw another patient of his had this on their profile and I had to share it. Dr. Imola just won the Best Surgical Facial Rejuvenation Enhancement award at THE Aesthetic Show in Las Vegas! http://www.cofps.com/media. His picture was taken with plastic surgeon Dr. Andrew Ordon from the television series, The Doctors. It feels great to know I was in good hands!Updated on 30 Jul 2013:Everyday I'm liking my nose more and more!Updated on 29 Nov 2013:I know it's been months since I've updated, sorry! I still notice swelling has gone down which is great! I think my nose is probably done with any obvious change though. I heard it can take up to a full year for swelling to go away. There is some numb areas on the right side of my nose, but I'm not worried.Updated on 29 Nov 2013:One more smiley pic!Updated on 25 Aug 2014:It has been over a year now since my surgery! Wow time flys! I wanted to update and share some new photos taken over the weekend. Honestly since 6 months ago, my swelling still went down! It has taken a long time but I'm alright with it! More

Unbelievable change, so very happy!Updated on 25 Apr 2013:I lived under the belief that "Pale is not my color!" and worshipped the sun for many years. At about 40, wrinkles and loose skin of lower face and neck was becoming obvious and accelerated quickly. Botox dramatically helped my forehead and upper face became baby soft and smooth; but lower face was melting and deeply lined. Researched for a year to find best surgeon and decided on Dr. Imola who was recommended by Carrie Ireland-Miller, my Botox aesthetician who I trusted whole heartedly. My surgery; lower facelift, necklift, lower eyelids and Submentoplasy (fat transfer to my face) took place on 2/6/2013. It was the best decision I have ever made....besides having my one child. Recovery was quick; no pain, but neck lift and tightness on throat was uncomfortable and worst part. Now I can't stop looking in the mirror and people barely recognize me. After several years of hating to go out of the house due to my aging face, I now look forward to each day and getting out to show off the new me. I absolutely love the change and would recommend Dr. Imola to anyone who is feeling the way I used to. It was so worth it!!!

Mine has been changing as the swelling has gone away and now I notice that I have an area right where the scar begins, that is sunken in somewhat and when looking at my profile, there is a "hole" at that spot. My surgeon says that if it is still there at "6 months out", we can do a filler of some kind. Do you guys have any advice on the scar under chin? Thanks.Updated on 5 May 2013:Scar under chin taken at 90 days post surgeryUpdated on 5 May 2013:Scar at ear 90 days after surgeryUpdated on 12 May 2013:It's been 100 days since my surgery and I am getting used to the new feelings and sensations. I am very happy in most everything except for the scar under my chin. There is an indentation right on my jaw line where the scar ends and it is very obvious to me when I look at profile. Now, I know that those of us who have undergone these transformations see things a lot more than others looking at us and I have been trying to ignore it and hope it gets better. But if it's still there at my 6 month visit to my surgeon, he will be doing something to correct it. Not sure what that is; a filler or an implant, etc. If anyone has had this problem, please let me know what happened for you. Otherwise, I'm pretty damn pleased, I must say!!!Updated on 24 Jul 2015:Two years have passed since my surgery and things are still great. I wanted to put a couple pics in for after 2 years. More

The operation went quite well and I was amazed how fast and easy was the recovery. The follow-up visits were very good and Dr Imola was very thorough to make sure all was well.Peggy and the staff at the office are great and very helpful both before and after the surgery. They really helped to make things easier, answer questions, and make sure everything is set up well.I am really happy with the outcome and that I chose Dr. Imola.

Revision Denver, CO - Surgery scheduled for July 29!!!My surgery is scheduled for Monday July 29!!!I am scheduled to have revision rhinoplasty with Dr. Mario Imola.My first rhinoplasty was a year ago with another doctor who left me with dents/uneven nostrils a thin/weak looking bridge and a tip that is to high for my liking/overall nose. I have been crying, very depressed and self conscious for the past year:( I really want to have this done and move forward with my life. I hope with my revision to smooth out the irregularities, achieve a straight profile (NOT scooped/sloped or upturned), bring my tip down and more symmetry on my frontal view. The doctor said I am not a difficult case he suggested a minor closed rhinoplasty however, I'm not sure the outcome I want could be achieved with a minor rhinoplasty I also don't feel comfortable reducing the size of my bridge any further:( I want to add cartilage to make it stronger. It really doesn't matter to me if its closed/open or if both my ears have to be harvested for cartilage more importantly, I want this to be my last surgery. I pray that everything goes perfect so I can finally put this to rest. More
I had a Rhinoplasty done about 15 years ago. My original Rhinoplasty appeared to be a pretty good job when it was first done, however as the years went by it went downhill. Unfortunately, online reviews of doctors was not as common as it is now. I spent a lot of time this time around reading reviews online of which doctor had consistently the best results. Dr. Imola appeared to be one of the best in the Denver Metro Area from all the research I did. When I went in to his office I already knew that my Rhinoplasty was going to be quite a bit more challenging than the average. Dr. Imola was extremely honest about what to expect. In fact the actual results turned out to be better than what he said I should expect to get from the procedure. Some people think it is simply superficial and materialistic to have cosmetic surgery done. I noticed quite quickly people were interacting with me differently than they had before, which started to have a really positive effect on my self-confidence. This increase in self-confidence has improved my life in ways I never thought it would. This was expensive especially since I had a more complicated revision Rhinoplasty, however I am convinced it was worth every last penny. More
The Veterans Health care are responsible for letting me have the procedure and let me do research for Drs. that provide the type of procedure needed. I did all my research online, talking to those I contacted and one of the contacts highly recommended Dr. Imola. I contacted his office and explained the situation and how the Veterans Administration would be handling the bill since I am a disabled vet. They took the time to contact the VA to verify and ok the procedure. I do not have photos at this time, Dr Imola took pictures before and after. I did not ask for copies.Dr. Imola was very professional and he understood why I wanted the ear reconstruction. He took the time to evaluate my request and to explain the procedure and make it work for me. He removed the cartlidge from under the skin that the Army had placed to try and to duplicate an ear. As a result I was made a Prosthetic Ear and I am very satisfied with the results and I do carry a big smile now. It looks real and has helped my self esteem dramatically.He took took the time to explain approximately the time length it would take to complete the process. He was kind and expressed his concerns that I had towards myself. His staff took the time to keep in touch and make sure there were no problems after the surgery.In short, I would recommend Dr. Imola to anyone who was in need of reconstruction, simply, he listens with respect and is considerate to ones feelings and thoughts. He explains in detail the procedures that will be taken in great detail and the approximate time frame. He's a good man I must say. More
Dr Imola was great and the work he did turned out really nice. I felt like Dr Imola really took his time and explained everything that he would be doing and listening to what i wanted done.

I haven’t had one person ask me “have you had your nose done,” I just get a lot complements and questions if I have lost weight-can’t beat that! If you’ve been considering this procedure, even if it’s just for a small refinement-go for it! You’re in good hands. More

Before I had met Dr. Mario Imola there were about six other Dr. consultations. I had been wanting to have these two procedures performed many years earlier and have actively been interviewing for the past 2 years. My first initial appointment with Dr. Imola's office was with Leigh Ann and Peggy the patient coordinators who were very insightful and supportive. When I did have my consultation with Dr. Imola, he was focused and generous with his time even though he was extremely busy. I have always disliked my profile since I was in my teens with the hump on the nose and the weak chin made me feel self-conscious. I was wanting to go with the curvature of the bridge and thank gaud that he talk me out of that mindset as a straight nose was a more appropriate shape for my face. Also he uses a non silicon base for the chin implant so it does not shift and could result in revision surgery. It also allows tissue growth to help stabilize it for a natural formation. I am so pleased with the work he has done that it has changed my life on how I see myself, my profile that is. He is meticulous in all that he does and will not settle for anything less as it shows every day in my mirror. The greatest compliment was that no one really noticed I had anything done except that I looked better. You are in caring and experienced hands with Dr. Mario Imola. More

Age is truly just a number now!Updated on 25 Apr 2013:Surgery dayUpdated on 25 Apr 2013:New PicturesUpdated on 27 Apr 2013:Before picsUpdated on 27 Apr 2013:Two weeks after SurgeryUpdated on 27 Apr 2013:Aug2009.BeforeUpdated on 27 Apr 2013:Aug2009.BeforePicUpdated on 27 Apr 2013:Aug2009.BeforePic3Updated on 27 Apr 2013:NewMeAfterSurgUpdated on 27 Apr 2013:Six weeks after SurgeryUpdated on 28 Apr 2013:8 Weeks After SurgeryUpdated on 28 Apr 2013:One Day After SurgeryUpdated on 28 Apr 2013:Ten Days After SurgeryUpdated on 28 Apr 2013:New MeUpdated on 28 Apr 2013:New MeUpdated on 30 Apr 2013:BeforeSurg1Updated on 30 Apr 2013:After Surgery #1Updated on 5 May 2013:I hav a question for my "RealSelf" friends who have had necklift and lower facelift....what can you tell me about the scar under your chins? Mine has been changing as the swelling has gone away and now I notice that I have an area right where the scar begins, that is sunken in somewhat and when looking at my profile, there is a "hole" at that spot. My surgeon says that if it is still there at "6 months out", we can do a filler of some kind. Do you guys have any advice on the scar under chin? Thanks.Updated on 5 May 2013:Scar under chin taken at 90 days post surgeryUpdated on 5 May 2013:Scar at ear 90 days after surgeryUpdated on 12 May 2013:It's been 100 days since my surgery and I am getting used to the new feelings and sensations. I am very happy in most everything except for the scar under my chin. There is an indentation right on my jaw line where the scar ends and it is very obvious to me when I look at profile. Now, I know that those of us who have undergone these transformations see things a lot more than others looking at us and I have been trying to ignore it and hope it gets better. But if it's still there at my 6 month visit to my surgeon, he will be doing something to correct it. Not sure what that is; a filler or an implant, etc. If anyone has had this problem, please let me know what happened for you. Otherwise, I'm pretty damn pleased, I must say!!!Updated on 24 Jul 2015:Two years have passed since my surgery and things are still great. I wanted to put a couple pics in for after 2 years. More
Hello! I had my surgery on May 24th. I have been self conscience over my nose since middle school. I always thought my nose was too large and too long for my face. I am so happy I went through with rhinoplasty. I had very few supporters on my decision. I still wanted to have it done because I knew it would give me confidence. I really researched on what surgeon I wanted. I found Dr. Imola. I saw countless good reviews about him. My consultation was wonderful. I felt very comfortable and confident with him. The actual surgery went well. I was expecting pain afterwards, but it really was just congestion that was uncomfortable. I bruise very easily, and I did have a lot of bruising and swelling. After a week I looked a lot more like myself. I am now a little over 3 weeks post op, and I really love my results so far. I know I'm still swollen, but I already feel like my new nose frames my face better.Updated on 24 Jun 2013:Hey all, not much of a difference from my last post. Just waiting for my tip swelling to go down. I know you should stay away from salty food, but I do love food fast! Anyways, hope everyone is doing well:)Updated on 24 Jun 2013:Updated on 26 Jun 2013:I saw another patient of his had this on their profile and I had to share it. Dr. Imola just won the Best Surgical Facial Rejuvenation Enhancement award at THE Aesthetic Show in Las Vegas! http://www.cofps.com/media. His picture was taken with plastic surgeon Dr. Andrew Ordon from the television series, The Doctors. It feels great to know I was in good hands!Updated on 30 Jul 2013:Everyday I'm liking my nose more and more!Updated on 29 Nov 2013:I know it's been months since I've updated, sorry! I still notice swelling has gone down which is great! I think my nose is probably done with any obvious change though. I heard it can take up to a full year for swelling to go away. There is some numb areas on the right side of my nose, but I'm not worried.Updated on 29 Nov 2013:One more smiley pic!Updated on 25 Aug 2014:It has been over a year now since my surgery! Wow time flys! I wanted to update and share some new photos taken over the weekend. Honestly since 6 months ago, my swelling still went down! It has taken a long time but I'm alright with it! More
My nose was broken and pushed slightly from the midline when I was 18 and I have hated it ever since. I was hesitant to undergo surgery to correct this because my friends and family had always said it "wasn't that bad". True it wasn't hideous, but glasses never fit me correctly and I was never quite happy with the way it looked from the front (my profile was fine). Eventually I began to take a serious look at rhinoplasty. Once I had become more familiar with the process, I realized my nose had other slight imperfections as well. Before finally deciding to have the procedure I researched as much as I could. I am also currently studying to become a health professional and have a basic understanding of human anatomy at this point. I cannot stress enough the importance of finding not only a competent surgeon but an EXPERIENCED one as well; even the best surgeons are far more capable now than when they performed their first surgeries.

I am very happy with both the revision rhinoplasty and the facelift neck lift - my nose looks very natural and is almost identical to our mutually agreed upon predictive outcome, and the facelift /necklift has turned back the clock by 10 years. My nose looks SO much better, which has given me much more confidence in my appearance! More
I inititally contacted Dr. Imola wanting eyelid surgery due to excessive skin on the upper lids and bags under lower lids. He was very thorough in his evaluation and explanation regarding what he would be able to do and his further recommendation of adding fat transfer to build up sagging cheeks for best results due to due to my age (67) and the natural deterior aging process. There was no pressure to do any of the procedures and complex information about expected outcomes. I decided on the five hour surgery after two consults in which questions were answered. Dr. Imola was completely professional, very caring and truly interested in me as a patient. In addition, his office staff is wonderful, always so pleasant and kind. And, Dr. Imola's assistant, Peggy, is the BEST, calling to check on me after the surgery and so willing to answer any questions-she is a wonderful assest to Dr. Imola's practice. I am very happy with the results and would highly recommend Dr. Imola for any procedure desired. More

One Year Update- Denver, CO - I am having surgery on Friday. I have thought about the appearance of my nose for a long time. For the most part it hasn't bothered me but as I get older aging in general along with a big nose is hard. I am 50. I'm also from a small town and have worries of what people will say, think, etc. Dr. Imola is wonderful; very kind and skilled. I'm still pretty nervous. More
So Excited for the Surgery! - Denver, CO - Hello! I am so excited to be getting my nose done on the 24th. I don't think I have a terrible nose, though I have been self conscience about it since middle school. I think that I am a pretty girl, I just think my nose is too big for my face. I am 25, married with two kids. When I broke the news to my friends and family that I would be getting this done, they were pretty against it. I still wanted to go through the procedure. I see this procedure to be a positive action. I think it will give me more confidence. As a side note I did not pay 1000. I don't want to put the cost because I feel like that is private. More
Rhinoplasty & Chin Augmentation - Englewood, CO - Before I had met Dr. Mario Imola there were about six other Dr. consultations. I had been wanting to have these two procedures performed many years earlier and have actively been interviewing for the past 2 years. My first initial appointment with Dr. Imola's office was with Leigh Ann and Peggy the patient coordinators who were very insightful and supportive. When I did have my consultation with Dr. Imola, he was focused and generous with his time even though he was extremely busy. I have always disliked my profile since I was in my teens with the hump on the nose and the weak chin made me feel self-conscious. I was wanting to go with the curvature of the bridge and thank gaud that he talk me out of that mindset as a straight nose was a more appropriate shape for my face. Also he uses a non silicon base for the chin implant so it does not shift and could result in revision surgery. It also allows tissue growth to help stabilize it for a natural formation. I am so pleased with the work he has done that it has changed my life on how I see myself, my profile that is. He is meticulous in all that he does and will not settle for anything less as it shows every day in my mirror. The greatest compliment was that no one really noticed I had anything done except that I looked better. You are in caring and experienced hands with Dr. Mario Imola. More
Rhinoplasty, Chin Augmentation and Submentoplasty - Denver, CO - For as long as I can remember I have wanted to have corrective surgery on my nose and chin. When I turned 40 I decided it was time. I am several months out of my procedures and I feel and look great. More

Ear Reconstruction -Denver, CO - The Veterans Health care are responsible for letting me have the procedure and let me do research for Drs. that provide the type of procedure needed. I did all my research online, talking to those I contacted and one of the contacts highly recommended Dr. Imola. I contacted his office and explained the situation and how the Veterans Administration would be handling the bill since I am a disabled vet. They took the time to contact the VA to verify and ok the procedure. I do not have photos at this time, Dr Imola took pictures before and after. I did not ask for copies.Dr. Imola was very professional and he understood why I wanted the ear reconstruction. He took the time to evaluate my request and to explain the procedure and make it work for me. He removed the cartlidge from under the skin that the Army had placed to try and to duplicate an ear. As a result I was made a Prosthetic Ear and I am very satisfied with the results and I do carry a big smile now. It looks real and has helped my self esteem dramatically.He took took the time to explain approximately the time length it would take to complete the process. He was kind and expressed his concerns that I had towards myself. His staff took the time to keep in touch and make sure there were no problems after the surgery.In short, I would recommend Dr. Imola to anyone who was in need of reconstruction, simply, he listens with respect and is considerate to ones feelings and thoughts. He explains in detail the procedures that will be taken in great detail and the approximate time frame. He's a good man I must say. More
Registered Nurse - Dr. Imola performed a minor surgical procedure for me. I didn't have any bruising after the procedure. His technique is very gentle and precise. Plus, his bedside manner is superb. I will definitely return to his clinic for any services needed in the future. More

Probably the Best Money I Have Ever Spent - Denver, CO - I had a Rhinoplasty done about 15 years ago. My original Rhinoplasty appeared to be a pretty good job when it was first done, however as the years went by it went downhill. Unfortunately, online reviews of doctors was not as common as it is now. I spent a lot of time this time around reading reviews online of which doctor had consistently the best results. Dr. Imola appeared to be one of the best in the Denver Metro Area from all the research I did. When I went in to his office I already knew that my Rhinoplasty was going to be quite a bit more challenging than the average. Dr. Imola was extremely honest about what to expect. In fact the actual results turned out to be better than what he said I should expect to get from the procedure. Some people think it is simply superficial and materialistic to have cosmetic surgery done. I noticed quite quickly people were interacting with me differently than they had before, which started to have a really positive effect on my self-confidence. This increase in self-confidence has improved my life in ways I never thought it would. This was expensive especially since I had a more complicated revision Rhinoplasty, however I am convinced it was worth every last penny. More
My Rhinoplasty Experience - Denver, CO - My experience with Dr. Imola was totally amazing. Basically he went way beyond what I expected. He paid extreme close attention to details. My nose looks absolutely beautiful. He is an amazing plastic surgeon.. I am so glad I researched and found this Dr. If anyone is ever thinking of doing facial surgery. I give him a 5 star rating. His demeanor with me was like I was his mother, He took care of me as I was. I am so pleased with him. Anyone needing any inof on this please feel free to contact me More
Refinement Rhinoplasty - Denver, CO - I haven’t had one person ask me “have you had your nose done,” I just get a lot complements and questions if I have lost weight-can’t beat that! If you’ve been considering this procedure, even if it’s just for a small refinement-go for it! You’re in good hands. More
Looks More Beautiful Everyday! - Denver, CO - I always felt if I got my nose fixed I could just move forward with my life and stop being so self-conscious about it. A lot of people told me before I got it done that I don't need it and looked beautiful the way I was, but I know I wouldn't be happy and forget about how much I disliked my nose unless I got it done. My parents were 100% supportive of the decision, I never complained about anything but they could see that this thing really bugged me so we moved forward with the decision in July 2012. Now the reason why my surgery cost a bit more than the average nose job is because in March 2011 I thought I found a loophole with insurance that if I went to my real doctor for breathing problems (which I definitely had) I would also get the bump shaved down as long with my breathing fixed! Well long story I got a septoplasty for a crooked septum and that's all the doctor did. My breathing was fixed 150% and covered by insurance and I could finally breath out of my nose! I should have knocked out two birds with one stone by getting a rhinoplasty done at the same time but I didn't know better and just assumed that's what the doctor would do but no, insurance blah blah. I had to wait a whole year before a doctor could touch my nose to get a cosmetic rhinoplasty. Because of the previous septoplasty a lot of cartilage had been taken out of my nose and there was little to work with with made the surgery more difficult. Dr. Imola handled this amazingly and I am happy with the outcome. I have an unique gap behind my ear where he took cartilage and a cute nose now. This procedure has changed my life positively in many ways. I feel confident when talking to people and know they are not taking in my nose and defining it as part of my person which bugged me before. It is still healing which can take MONTHS and years to settle down in the shape it's going to stay in but overall I am happy. There are some things that are not perfect like I think the tip is a little big/swollen still I wish it would go down, and there is a bit of cartilage that looks uneven when looking up at the nose. BUT The bump is gone, it's sloped and straight. It looks so cute from the side and fits my face perfectly. More
Fat Transfer - Englewood, CO - After losing 30 plus pounds, my face had lost volume and I was constantly asked if I was tired... 50 Was a turning point for me.
