If you are looking for a plastic surgeon to do a revision surgery or a first time surgery, look no more. I spent almost 5 years unhappy with a breast augmentation that I had by another plastic surgeon who wasn’t candid with me about the limitations of my anatomy. Consequently, I made some wrong choices about size, shape and type of implants. I didn't want to return to the same plastic surgeon for a revision and was fearful that I couldn’t trust another. I typed up a list of issues that I was having and goals that I wanted to achieve and with that in hand, went to several consultations with other plastic surgeons about a year after my surgery. I was only more discouraged until one day last year, I decided to do a search once again and came across Dr. Wolfe’s website. \r \r After checking out Dr. Wolfe’s credentials, I immediately scheduled a consultation. From my initial contact with the office, to my consultation, to my revision surgery, I have not once been disappointed. We went over my list and we talked about what I could expect and what my anatomical limitations were. I’m still only a few months post op and need to wait a good six months for the final results, but already I feel about 100% better about myself. Much to my surprise, Dr. Wolfe even corrected an issue that I didn’t have on my list. I would go back to Dr. Wolfe without hesitation for any other cosmetic surgery wishes I have (and I already have a few in mind). \r more

Dr. Vath repaired another surgeon's bad work for me and did an outstanding job! He is kind, compassionate & technically excellent. I wish I'd known about him last year! This is the place to go for all cosmetic surgery needs. more

great results! more

I had wanted breast augmentation for a long time, but was nervous about finding the right surgeon to perform the procedure. Right away I felt at ease with Dr. Wolfe and the entire staff at the Center for Cosmetic Surgery. Scheduling a consult was quick and easy, and the office staff was very friendly and helpful. Dr. Wolfe understood exactly what I wanted and explained what would be best for my body type. I'm 5'4"" 115lbs., and went from a small B to a full D cup. The procedure went flawlessly and I couldn't be happier. My friends and family are amazed with my results and a few are planning to use Dr. Wolfe when they are ready for their own procedures. I would definitely recommend Dr. Wolfe and would use him again in the future. *Quick tip: I went through the before and after pictures and found women with similar body types to mine in order to get a better idea of what my results would be. I think it is a good idea to go into the consultation with specific expectations you can discuss with your doctor. more

I scoured the internet for an excellent plastic surgeon after my two children left me with saggy skin on my abdomen. Dr. Vath's results were the best I had seen; aside from a scar (which fades) there's nothing ugly to hide under clothing. I wanted to look good naked again, and I do! In addition to removing the excess skin and tightening up my separated abominal muscles, I am so pleased that he was able to also remove two old navel piercing scars.\r Dr. Vath has an excellent bedside manner, and was always available to answer any questions I had pre- and post-operatively. I never felt pressure to have more procedures than I wanted, but he fully explained all of my options. His staff is phenomenal and insisted that he would see me in person at any time to address my concerns if it would soothe my nerves. The nurses were warm and caring, and the anesthesiologist was thorough and professional. \r I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and would recommend Dr. Vath to anyone. more

I just turned 55 and was unhappy with my droopy eyelids and too many wrinkles around my mouth. After doing a lot of research I decided to have a consultation with Dr Wolfe to see what could be done to make me look a bit younger without looking like I had over done plastic surgery. Dr Wolfe said a mini face lift, a brow lift and an upper eye lid procedure would make me look more refreshed and younger without looking over done. I decided to go ahead with it and had an appointment with the nurse to go over the procedure and what I needed to do and what to expect. The surgery took about 3 1/2 hours and I was happy with the OR nurse and Dr Wolfe. I filled the pain med prescription and never needed to take anything for pain. I was amazed that everything went so smoothly and I never had any pain. My surgery was on a Friday morning and Monday I went in and the nurse removed my head bandage and stitches. I had very little bruising just a small red area around my eyes. My cheeks were a bit swollen for the 1st week. I did not like sleeping on my back as I am a side sleeper and that was the only thing I did not like about the whole surgery. There is a little red on my forehead where the stitches were but nobody can even see them my (very thin ) hair covers it. I went for my follow up today which was 16 days post op and I could not be happier with how fast everything healed. I looked at other plastic surgeons websites and saw pictures of their patients who had the same 3 procedures as I had and none of them healed as fast as me. I am really glad I did my homework and found Dr Wolfe. I would defiantly recommend to anyone thinking of having their eyes done and a mini facelift. more

I am 6 weeks out from breast augmentation with a lift and am so THRILLED with how I look. I am 39, 5'5"" and 115 lbs. After breastfeeding 3 kids, I was a relaxed A cup. Now I am a full D cup, which completely balanced my figure. Dr. Wolfe and his staff absolutely exceeded ALL my expectations and the whole process was much easier and comfortable than I had anticipated. There is a reason there are no negative reviews to be found on Dr. Wolfe, he is a truly gifted surgeon who takes the time to find out exactly what you as the patient hope to accomplish. I would highly recommend Dr. Wolfe and his staff to anyone. I look better now than I did prior to having kids. Thank you Dr. Wolfe. more

Precision, Patience, and Passion are the qualities that drove me to select Dr. Wolfe as my surgeon. I received a phenomenal ""mommy make-over"". Although my breast reduction was more of a re-construction. I previously had a breast lift with implants that was performed very poorly by another surgeon. It has been a year since my surgery and I am SO pleased with how amazing my body looks! I am 29 and have two babies..I look and feel as if 10 years of my life have been given back to me. Dr. Wolfe is a highly skilled surgeon, so many of my friends have already visited him for his outstanding and superior work. more

I'm a 42 yr old who is 5' 3'' and 108 lbs. I have 2 babies which were both emergency c-sections, that left me with a hideous vertical scar. I adore my children but HATED that scar! I could never wear a normal bikini so I finally made the choice to have a Tummy tuck. I researched A LOT of doctors. ( I think Dr. Vath was the 9th cosmetic surgeon I had met with.) My concerns were 1) the t t scar 2) the navel - I absolutely did not want some awful looking fake navel I had seen on other cosmetic surgery sites 3) the drains. I went to Dr. Vath to for a consult. He took his time explaining everything to me. I was shown other thin patients before/after pictures. They all looked amazing! Dr. Vath uses your won navel, he just repositions it. Also, NO drains!! He explained how a lot of surgeons still use the drains but said he did a lengthy study on the procedure and found it is unnecessary. The T T scars, of Dr. Vath's patients very neat and nicely done. Not like the uneven, scary looking ones I had seen on other cosmetic surgery sites and in other plastic surgeon's before and after albums. The next day I scheduled my surgery! In addition to being a fabulous cosmetic surgeon, Dr Vath is truly one of the nicest doctors I have ever met! I had my surgery in Jan. My surgery went well. Pain wasn't too bad. Probably a 5, the first 3-4 days, after that, not bad at all. Nothing as bad as my c-sections. I am SO pleased with the results! I look like I have the stomach of an 18 yr old! My navel is my same cute navel I had before, it was just repositioned perfectly. There is a very faint line around it where is was sutured. My T T scar is thin and very straight and done with precision. It is still a pink color but it is fading every day. It does go hip bone to hip bone, but it doesn't go ever my hip bones so my reg. bikini bottoms, cover the scar completely. Yay! No more 'granny-pantie' bikini bottoms to cover the vertical c-section scar!!! I totally recommend Dr Vath. He listens, takes his time to explain, is a very talented surgeon, and he cares! In addition, the staff is knowledgeable and kind. I will only go to Dr. Vath for any cosmetic procedures in the future. I trust him and he is that awesome! more

Having 2 children in 2 1/2 yrs left me with deflated breasts and a saggy tummy that just would not go away and I work out regularly. I am 5'5'' 120lbs and I felt sexy on the inside, but how I looked on the outside was another story. I decided that a mommy makeover (breast aug. and tummy tuck) was the best option for me. Dr. Wolfe and his staff answered all of my questions and addressed all of my concerns in such a caring and sincere yet no bs manner. I am african american so scarring was a major concern and I just knew Dr. Wolfe was the perfect surgeon for me. I am 4 months post-op and words can not express how happy I am with the results. Looking at my before and after photos really put into perspective the skill and gift that Dr. Wolfe possesses. I can not thank you enough Dr. Wolfe. I can truly say that now I look just as how I feel. more

I work out regularly, but just couldn’t seem to get rid of my saddle bags and muffin top (thanks, genetics!). I finally chose to have liposuction about one year ago. My results are amazing! Dr. Wolfe has perfected that hard to find balance of brilliance without arrogance and an uncanny ability to read his patients and interact with them on a level that puts them immediately at ease. His passion for his work is obvious, and he is a true artist. Thank you Dr. Wolfe! more

After having 5 kids in 10 years I decided to have a much needed tummy tuck. I went to Dr. Vath for the surgery in October 2009. He did an amazing job explaining the process to me and what my expectations could be. I couldn't be happier with the results. At 34 i didn't want to hide myself for the rest of my life, Dr. Vath did an amazing job!!!!! My tummy is so flat and the belly button looks very real. I can wear a bikini now and play in the pool without caring who is looking at me.Thanks much for making be feel complete!!!! more

After scouring the internet for a year and a half looking for a surgeon who was experienced in performing a lower body lift, I found the Center of Cosmetic Surgery's website. I looked at each before/after photos of lower body lifts performed by Dr. Steven Vath. The photos illustrated his true talent and skill. So - I made the appointment. The appointment lasted almost an hour for the consultation. I went to several other surgeons, but it just didn't feel right. So - I decided that I would have Dr. Vath. Three years later, and another baby it was time to get the work done.\r \r I am thrilled with the results! After massive weight loss, child bearing, my body looked the Michelin man! Now it looks better then when I was in my teens. I have a FLAT stomach, perfect hips, and my belly button is perfect. I did have a breast lift and inner thigh lift. Dr. Vath IS the very best plastic surgeon in the Denver Metro Area and should be listed in 5280 Magazine and pictured on the cover. \r \r more

I am a 26 year old mother of three, After i had my baby who is now 18 months I decided to have a mommy makeover! I was so excited and nurvous at the same time. I just had my mommy makover July of 2010 with Dr. Wolff, I am so happy I do not think there are words to express how happy I am with everythink. I was very worried about recovery and the pain but to be honest it was not bad at all the first week I was sleeping alot but after a few days i was getting up by my self. Many women think the tummy tuck is the worst part of it but not for me it was not bad at all. The breast lift and augmentation were the most unconfertable part. If you breast feed before then you know the feeling of being engourged. Well that was how it feels for about a week. IT has been 6 months and I feel wonderfull and I would do it all over agaian totaly worth it. Thank you so much for everything Dr.Wolff. more

I had a tummy tuck and breast augmentation with Dr. Vath in September 2010. I cannot begin to tell you how thrilled I am with my results!! The only surgery I have ever had, was a C-section in 2004. I was incredibly nervous to even go in for my consultation, until the moment I walked in the office and met Dr. Vath. I was made completely comfortable by his staff, and was amazed with how much time he spent with me, answering all my questions and addressing any concerns I had. After my consultation, I was so excited, I quickly scheduled my surgery. At the surgery center in Golden, the staff and Dr. Vath were wonderful! My pre-surgery nerves quickly subsided. Days after surgery, I didn't even have one bruise and I felt way better than I expected to. 3 weeks after surgery, I felt great and I was able to slowly begin working out again. Now 6 weeks after my surgery, I feel amazing! I can't believe how wonderful my results are! I never expected my results to look this good so quickly! He is an amazing surgeon and artist! He has a wonderful bedside manner and is incredibly gentle. If you choose Dr. Vath, you will not be disappointed! I am so glad I chose him to do my surgery!! I will definitely be coming back if I ever need anything else done, and I will recommend him to everyone I know. Thank you so much Dr. Vath!!! Words can't express how happy I am!! more

First off Dr. Vath is totally wonderful! He's so personable and humble which is hard to believe in a plastic surgeon. His staff was great as well. They were so patient with my constant questions and they all put me at ease the day of surgery. \r \r Dr. Vath performed an otoplasty surgery (ear surgery) as well as lipo on my thighs and I couldn't be happier with the results! It all looks so natural. The recovery time took about 2 weeks for my ears and 1 week for the lipo. There is still tenderness in my thighs while working out, but it is all worth it. \r \r I live 5 hours away from Denver and really did research on who would be my doctor. For any of you who feel like it should be about convenience think about whether or not they are board certified. Dr. Vath was so worth the drive and I can't thank him enough for ""improved"" me. more

Dr. Vath and his staff are incredible! I was extremely nervous about getting a breast augmentation and they totally put me at ease. Every question and concern were addressed promptly and courteously. I'm extremely pleased with the results and only wish I had done it sooner! He did such a wonderful job that I actually forget sometimes that they aren't natural... more

I had a tummy tuck 3 months ago. I was so scared to have the tummy tuck, done thinking it wouldn't be all that noticable to me. Wow! I lost a whole person my stomach looks fantastic can't help but look in the mirror 3 or 4 times a day. I have my self esteem back and what a great job Dr. Steven Vath did. I wish I hadn't waited so long to do this. Just fear it wouln't look good.\r I am so worth what I did. more

Dr. Vath is my hero! I had previous breast surgery with another dr. 4 years ago and had a deflation. I went back to my previous dr. to have my deflation taken care of--within 2 weeks I had to go to the ER and have emergency surgery due to a blood vessel that burst. Two months after the 2nd surgery I had gotten Capsular Contraction within both breasts, which required yet a 3rd surgery in a matter of just a few months. Not to mention my dr. talked me into a breast lift when I went in for my deflation. I came out looking like Frankenstein, with both of my nipples pointing the wrong way and they were crooked! My old dr. then handed me a new bill to take care of my Capsular Contraction and correcting his mistake on the lift. Oh my!! I was in pain, so I knew I had to have surgery, but did not want my old dr. to touch me ever again. I spent a few hours reading websites and reviews and liked the pictures I saw on Dr. Vath's . I visited with 2 additional dr.'s and Dr. Vath won me over. I am now 6 months post surgery and looking beautiful and feeling great. I only wish I had picked him from the beginning! Thank you Dr. Vath!!! more

My experience with Dr Wolfe has been nothing but wonderful. One year ago I had a tummy tuck by another doctor. The results of that procedure were awful. That man left me with horrible, unexpected scarring, a tummy that was not tight and emotionally distraught. When I met with Dr Wolfe he was so compassionate and eased my anxiety about a second surgery. The results from my tummy tuck with Dr Wolfe are better than I could have imagined. He was able to take away the horrible scar, give me a cute belly button, and a flatter tummy than I have ever had. Choosing to do my revision with Dr Wolfe was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I truly can not recommend him enough! more
