Generally speaking, most men and women want to look their best, and they work very hard at trying to achieve a certain standard that they have set for themselves. I swear that aging is a cruel joke that is played on the human race! Personally I feel young and vibrant- just as I did when I was in high school. however, more and more I look in the mirror and realize that age is rearing it’s ugly head!
There are so many wonderful things that can help slow the signs of aging. I am a huge fan of Botox, and Photo Rejuvenation Facials. Our skin department, Skin Essentials, offers a wide variety of solutions for every type of skin issue. With aging also comes loose or sagging skin- bot just on the face but on the body as well. Having just has a baby 17 months ago, I am dealing with sagging breasts. I have a breast lift surgery and a breast augmentation scheduled with Dr. John Millard in April and I am so excited! Dr. Millard also is able to tighten and tone up skin while doing Smartlipo, Smartlipo MPX, Vaser Hi Def, and Vaser Liposelection. There are so many different options out there to help both men and women look there best.
I think one of the biggest decisions is choosing a qualified Plastic Surgeon. If you are looking to have Plastic Surgery, look no further than Denver’s own John A Millard, MD.

Denver Plastic Surgeon, Dr. John A. Millard, is busier than ever these days thanks in part to first lady Michelle Obama’s well toned arms.
Mrs. Obama’s arms have graced the cover of Vogue and People magazine. She’s dazzled us in a sleeveless dress worn to the president’s joint session of Congress.
The first lady has been an inspiration to those of us over 40 who hit the gym with the best of intentions. But unfortunately, many of us are unable to find the time and/or the energy for the 90 minute 5:30am workouts 3 times a week that the first lady adheres to with her personal trainer. But thanks to Denver Plastic Surgeon John A. Millard, there is help for us.
In a surgery lasting less than three hours and possibly not requiring a general anesthetic, Dr. Millard is creating toned and athletic looking arms using either the Vaser Hi Def Liposculpture technique or the Smartlipo MPX machine. The results are toned but feminine, easy to achieve, relatively inexpensive, and permanently retained with the adherence to a healthy diet. Call me to discuss this procedure. You’ll love it.

Spring is around the corner, and for the first time in years I’ll be able to wear a cute golf skirt or even a pair of shorts on the golf course. No more having to wear slacks or Capris on the 90 degree days. Why? Nine days ago Dr. Millard performed Vaser Liposelection on my knees and inner & outer thighs. I was back to work four days later, at my desk, legs elevated on my waste basket with 2 pillows under my knees. Ideal? Not exactly, but my time off this summer is being reserved for fun times on the links. Plastic Surgery does not have to be extensive or expensive to make a major impact on your life. Even if I had opted to forgo my thighs and have only my knees treated with Smartlipo or MPX under a local anesthetic, I would have felt good again wearing skirts or shorts. Why did I wait so long? Bring on Spring and Summer. This year I’m ready.
If you are interested in getting more information on Vaser Liposelection or on Smartlipo or Smartlipo MPX, please give us a call at 303-792-5665 or send us an e-mail at info@millardplasticsurgery.com.

My personal experience withSmartlipo…
I am a 34 year old female and I live in Denver Colorado. On February 13, 2009 I had Smartlipo MPX on my hips and flanks (on my back side right above my butt). I am a person who is very sensitive and squeamish to anything that is medical! But, I have to tell you- that this procedure is an incredibly easy one to get through and recover from. The procedure began at about 3:30pm on Friday 2/13 and I was done at about 6:30pm. I was given an oral narcotic, to relax me about 1 hour before the surgery was scheduled to begin. Then the doctor marked me with marking pens to ‘draw or map’ where he was going to do the liposuction. I had my procedure done under tumescent anesthesia (where they numb the area and inject fluid into the area- you are totally awake for the entire procedure), so I was able to have it done in the doctor’s office- not an operating room. They had me lay face down on the operating table and the doctor began by numbing the area with shots and injecting fluid into me. All of this sounds painful, but trust me I am such a baby, and this was all more than tolerable. It reminded me of getting Botox in a way! Except it was on the top of my butt! After I was completely numb and filled up with fluid, the rest of the procedure of melting the fat away with the Smartlipo and then sucking it out took about 2 hours for a total of 3 hours. After the he was done, he stood me up (and I was pretty wet from all the fluid they put in you) and I was helped into a garment that looks like something a wrestler would wear! It’s made of spandex and it has the crotch cut out so you don’t have to take it off every time you go to the bathroom. You are supposed to wear this garment for at least a week. After that, I went home and I had someone stay the night with me to make sure I was ok. I felt totally good for the 1st2 days, then after that I felt a little ‘washed out’, like I didn’t have very much energy. At 2weeks post op I was still slightly tingly and numb, and I didn’t like to be touched in that area, although it didn’t hurt, it was just uncomfortable. My swelling had gone down drastically, and I was feeling pretty much 90% normal if not more. After having Smartlipo myself, I can tell you that I would highly recommend this surgery to anyone!
