PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is performed after CO₂ laser treatment to accelerate healing and boost collagen. It can also be used to treat the scalp, promoting hair growth and overall scalp health.

Motiva implants are a new option offered for breast augmentation patients, known for their natural look and feel. They are designed to move with your body, providing an elegant, natural shape with incredible softness and movement, resulting in beautiful, soft, and full outcomes.

The results of breast augmentation are expected to settle in beautifully over the next few months.

Gynecomastia removal is expected to result in a more comfortable, natural appearance, free from discomfort.

Abdominoplasty is performed to address stubborn loose skin that cannot be fixed by exercise.

Colorado Plastic Surgery Center often uses absorbable mesh during breast augmentation procedures, especially for patients revising previous implants or needing extra reinforcement for long-term results. The mesh acts like an internal bra, providing added support and stability to hold the implant in place as the body heals and forms scar tissue. Over time, the absorbable mesh naturally dissolves, leaving behind internal support that helps maintain results for years. It's important to note that absorbable mesh is not for every patient, but for great candidates, it can be a game-changer for long-lasting symmetry, shape, and support.

This combined procedure is performed to restore breast volume and elevate the natural breast shape. Indications include post-weight loss, post-pregnancy, or a change in personal preference. The expected result is a youthful, perky silhouette that enhances proportions and aligns with aesthetic goals, delivering stunning, natural-looking results tailored to the individual.

Otoplasty is a safe procedure designed to reshape and reposition the ears, often to correct ears that stick out or have an overly prominent appearance. During surgery, a customized amount of cartilage is removed or reshaped to bring the ears closer to the head, creating a more balanced, natural look while maintaining a natural curve. This small, subtle change can make a big difference in confidence, especially for those who have felt self-conscious about their ears since childhood, and is considered life-changing for many patients.

Dr. Slenkovich's philosophy for breast augmentation is about finding the right fit for the patient's body, rather than simply 'going big'. Sizing is a top priority in the consultation process. The practice offers multiple implant profile options (beyond just very high and very low) and uses 3D sizing, which involves taking a picture and simulating different implant sizes. Dr. Slenkovich personally performs the 3D simulation, makes adjustments, explains comparisons, and collaborates with the patient to find the optimal fit, aiming to build confidence before surgery.

Dr. Slenkovich uses a sterile implant funnel to minimize contact with the implant, reducing the risk of contamination and supporting a smoother recovery.

The practice performs thorough and deep CO₂ facial treatments annually for total skin renewal. These treatments are performed in the operating room under IV sedation to ensure the patient is totally comfortable and won't remember the procedure. Preparation includes shaving. The treatment is performed by Lauren from @dbd_aesthetics and Jen, an anesthesiologist.

A deep CO₂ laser treatment requires one week of downtime. Swelling and redness are expected to increase over the first couple of days. Post-procedure care includes showering and applying emollients. Discomfort typically subsides after the first day. By day six, redness is significantly reduced, resembling a mild sunburn, and patients may feel ready to go in public. For public-facing work, it can take seven to ten days for redness to subside sufficiently, depending on the depth of the laser treatment. Patients whose jobs allow for some redness (e.g., Zoom calls, working from home without calls) may return to work sooner. There was a noticeable difference in swelling between sides treated with PRP versus growth factors, suggesting PRP's benefit in recovery.
