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
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
Facetite - I am 46, young looking face but genetics and weight loss had caught up big time to my neck and chin. I was investigating a necklift when my surgeon told me about FaceTite. I had never even heard of it. What info was available though indicated that it might be the perfect option for me. It is not inexpensive, and I’m hoping for the results that I have read about and my surgeon indicated I might get. I am going to post my journey so that there is perhaps a little bit more out there for folks like me when they do their research. I had my procedure on Feb 26. Me: 46, excellent skin, highly fit, near ideal weight. Non-smoker, light drinker. More
Voluma Done RIGHT! - Denver, CO - I am very conservative when it comes to my face and injections. Dr Imola is truly gifted and took a gentle conservative approach when I decided to get voluma to create a more defined cheekbone. I am 42 years old and just wanted to feel fresh, but not look fake. He takes an elegant approach to his technique and truly made me feel beautiful without looking like I was injected. I highly recommend him for fillers and botox. His staff is so friendly. They are not in it for the sale, but truly want their patience to be happy. More
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
