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

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
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
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
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
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

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
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
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

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
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
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

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
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
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.

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
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. I have had 4 rhinoplastys previously. Each one was done to fix the previous work that was not done correctly. I chose Dr Imola for my 5th and final nose surgery after interviewing 4 plastics guys in the Denver area. Dr Imola was able to show me before and after pics of his patients that had been... More
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. 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... 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. This coupled with his experience in medicine and the protocol of the American health care system put him at the top of his field.

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

Having sat down with the best surgeons in the world I stand by my recommendation for Dr. Imola and his staff. 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

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
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
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
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
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
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

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 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 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

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
Dr. Immola’s care was immaculate. I am a week post op after having my nose reset after an accident and believe no one could have delivered better care. 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
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
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
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

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. During my recovery my skin did not heal well from bruises quickly, Dr. Imola & his staff providing me with free of charge laser skin treatment & helps me to achieve best result during recovery, I am so happy with Dr. Imola, his outstanding & friendly staff, I am 100% recommending Aesthetics by Design and Dr. Imola to anyone who is looking for truly knowledgeable, professional and perfect surgeon! 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
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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

Broken Nose- Very Natural Rhinoplasty! - Denver, CO - 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.

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
Crooked Rhinoplasty - Denver, CO - My nose was VERY bent for 40+ years, sports injuries contributing, with deviated septum; breathing was very difficult on one side, had snoring issues; breathing starting to improve now and wife is very impressed with how it looks; family asks why I waited so long to have it done; little or no pain with procedure; Dr. Imola has great "bedside manner", did not over promise before work was done but it came out nicely; I am happy with results and very pleased with Dr. Imola and his staff More
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
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
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

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. I have hated my nose since I can remember and went through high school receiving terrible comments from people and never felt beautiful.

Feel free to ask any questions! More

The Very Best Cosmetic Surgeon! - Denver, CO - I met with Dr Imola and shared my anguish over my obviously large nose.

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...

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... 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

I am considering a fat transfer.I would encourage anyone considering a facial procedure to consult with Dr. Imola. I have not one complaint. More
Finally Did It, and I Couldn't Be Happier! - Englewood, CO - I hated my nose for as long as I can remember, I've had other cosmetic procedures but never facial procedures, I was always scared that it would end up worst than it already was so after months of googling for a good surgeon I came across Dr. Imola I went to my consultation and it was great he was confident knew what he was talking about and made suggestions which is exactly what I needed because all I knew was I wanted a cute nose but I didn't know what he could or couldn't do, when I left the consultation I was exited I knew it was gonna be great. 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

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

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
I had a consultation with Dr. Imola for his advise in regards to an inadequate outcome from a surgery of 20 years ago. I found him very informative and comfortable to communicate with. His staff was also very professional and efficient.On June 2, Dr. Imola performed a facelift, submentoplasty, and chin implant on me. After only two weeks from surgery date, Dr. Imola's expertise is obvious. The outcome is superior. The experience from start to finish from Dr. Imola and his staff has been superior. Very much worth it and my "thanks" from a very grateful patient,Updated on 9 Jan 2015:At seven months my scars are not visible and I don,t think anyone would realize I had ever had a procedure. Dr. Imola is truly a professional and talented surgeon. I have lost some weight over the last few months, so have lost volume in my face. I am considering a fat transfer.I would encourage anyone considering a facial procedure to consult with Dr. Imola. I have not one complaint. More
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.

I hated my nose for as long as I can remember, I've had other cosmetic procedures but never facial procedures, I was always scared that it would end up worst than it already was so after months of googling for a good surgeon I came across Dr. Imola I went to my consultation and it was great he was confident knew what he was talking about and made suggestions which is exactly what I needed because all I knew was I wanted a cute nose but I didn't know what he could or couldn't do, when I left the consultation I was exited I knew it was gonna be great. 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

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. That's exactly what I found with Dr. Imola and his wonderful staff. Not only did the end results exceed expectations, but every step along the way the guided me and delivered personalized attention. I couldn't count the number of times I texted Lisa in his office during my recovery to ask questions, and she always replied quickly and in the most friendly, professional manner. I highly recommend Dr. Imola for his expertise and his office staff for their above-and-beyond philosophy in patient care. More
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
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
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
Rhinoplasty & Chin Augmentation - Englewood, CO - Before I had met Dr. Mario Imola there were about six other Dr. consultations.

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.

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". 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... 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.

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 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
Fabulous and Dramatic Change - Denver, CO - It had become too difficult to look in the mirror so at 54, began search for best surgeon and decided on surgery. It has changed my life. With little pain and 3 weeks recovery, sun damaged, droopey wrinkled face and neck is gone. A new youthful look and attitude. 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!!! 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
Very Professional and Excellent Results on Facelift - Denver, CO - 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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
It had become too difficult to look in the mirror so at 54, began search for best surgeon and decided on surgery. It has changed my life. With little pain and 3 weeks recovery, sun damaged, droopey wrinkled face and neck is gone. A new youthful look and attitude. 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!!! 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
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. More
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

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

To fix the breathing through my nose and the shape of my nose. Other details are listed above. I wont list what I'm satisfied with because it would be a very long list. All that I found disappointing was A. my surgery was to improve my breathing and also the shape of my nose, my breathing although improved is by no means outstandingly better than before. Its been about a month, however, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the lack of breathing out my nose is because of swelling that still remains). B. between what we were told the exact price was going to be from Dr. Imola's office to what we had to sign on the day of surgery at the hospital was over a $1000 difference. More
Happy in Colorado - Denver, CO - I had the pleasure of working not only with Dr. Imola but his staff as well when I chose to have a neck and facelift. I went into it not knowing how well I would be cared for and how meticulous Dr. Imola would be with his work and the final outcome. It has not been 11 weeks and I am thrilled with the outcome. Not only does it look awesome, it continues to amaze me the improvement it made in my overall self esteem. I also would like to add that his staff took very good care of me and Peggy was exceptional in her follow up to my procedure. Couldn't be more pleased! More
