About

Dr. Ryan Endress is a Plastic Surgeon practicing in Lone Tree, Colorado, at The LaVie Institute. Specializing in plastic, reconstructive, and hand surgery, including microvascular free tissue transfer, he is recognized as a 2026 Castle Connolly Center of Excellence. Dr. Endress considers it a significant compliment when medical professionals refer patients, and especially when they trust him with their own surgeries. He focuses on preserving natural tissue and achieving quicker recovery. For facial procedures, Dr. Endress emphasizes a thorough diagnostic process, determining if a brow lift, upper eyelid lift, or a combination best addresses the source of heaviness. He believes effective neck lift surgery involves understanding and treating the underlying anatomy, sometimes carefully reducing prominent submandibular glands, rather than just tightening skin. Dr. Endress utilizes techniques like Vaser liposuction and rectus muscle tightening for body contouring and finds Motiva implants a choice for a natural feel in breast augmentation. He also advocates for a holistic view of patient health, noting that hormone optimization requires a personalized strategy based on individual history and baseline data, as a single lab number doesn't tell the complete story.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2025)

$3,683

Payments

45

Compared to peers

Moderate

Dr. Ryan Endress received $3,683 across 45 payments in 2025. That is higher than about 71% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as travel and lodging, and the largest single payer was Access Pro Medical, LLC.

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
