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. 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. The rhinoplasty was close to 5 hours and the recovery was pretty uncomfortable at times but I could not be more satisfied with my results. This procedure has completely changed me. Feel free to ask any questions! 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
