Dr. Millard and BodEvolve Open in Cherry Creek North!
This satellite office is a convenient location for Boulder, North Denver, and Cherry Creek patients. We see patients at this office every other week for consultations. After doing the initial consultation, the patients would then need to visit our Lone Tree location in order to continue with appointments before and after surgery. At some point, we hope to be set up to see pre and post-operative appointments at the Cherry Creek facility. Most commonly, we see patients for liposuction, breast augmentation and tummy tucks at this location. We welcome you to come and visit us at this location should you be in the area.

Cosmetic Surgery and Sun Exposure in Denver
Exposing your surgical areas to the sun can cause damage. Following plastic surgery or cosmetic surgery, it is important not to expose your body to the sun after surgery. The surface area in which has been treated becomes much more susceptible to a sunburn then it normally is. We advise patients to stay out of the sun for at least 6 weeks following liposelection, breast augmentation, tummy tucks, and other various procedures. After this time frame, it is still important to cover any incision sites (scars) with sunscreen and preferably band aids and/or clothing, for at least a year. This helps prevent any hyper-pigmentation of the scar/s, helping it fade to white.

When thinking about cosmetic surgery, one must consider a scar in order to complete the procedure. You can have the procedure, but will have a scar to show for it. In most cases, scars are placed in less noticeable places such as the belly button, under the breasts, hidden beneath underwear and/or in the arm pits. The scars will appear red and raised after surgery, but with time, they should lighten in color and flatten out. Some skin types, particularly Asian, have more difficulty in post-operative healing of the scars. They may keloid (be raised above the skin) and appear darker. It is important not to expose your scars to the sun for a minimum of 6-12 months to keep the scars from hyper pigmenting. Sunscreen is always a good scar protector. The most important thing to remember when considering cosmetic surgery, is scars will typically fade but they will not disappear completely.
Dr. John Millard is a very skilled Plastic Surgeon and does amazing work to minimize scarring. If you would like more information on any body procedures or breast procedures that Dr. Millard offers, please contact us at (303) 792-5665 or send us an e-mail at info@millardplasticsurgery.com

Finally, we have the technology to transfer fat from out “problem” areas to our breasts! Something us women have been waiting for, years. We used to joke about it, asking why can’t we take fat from our love handles and transfer it up here, to our breasts? It’s a fairly new technique in which we are still perfecting. Dr. Millard injects fat, more than necessary, into the breasts because not all of the fat will “take”. Typically, your breasts would be taped after surgery for a couple of weeks and then into a support bra for a few months. It is important to keep the newly planted fat as still as possible for about three months. Hence the reason you’ll wear a sport bra for so long.
This technique allows women to have fuller breasts without having implants. Although, the gel implants are FDA approved and are said to be safe, some women simply prefer not to have a foreign body for breast enlargement.
To view before and after photos of this procedure or any other procedure that Dr. Millard does, please visit our website at http://www.millardplasticsurgery.com/MILL_Search.asp.

Tummy tucks are one of the most profound surgeries. It flattens the stomach in such a way that people feel dramatically different about their bodies, immediately! Although it is a long recovery, each patient seems to be thrilled they did it. The full recovery is approximately 6 weeks. Patients tend walk slightly bent over for a couple of weeks, experience a little soreness in their backs and abdomen. Dr. Millard pulls the abdominal muscle together in order to get rid of the diastasis (separation of the abdominal muscles likely due to pregnancies). He also removes all excess skin from below the breast line down to the pubic area. If a patient has stretch marks, it is not unusual for Dr. Millard to be able to move most of the stretch marks to the lower abdomen, if not completely remove them. A post-operative tummy tuck patient is pleased when they can fit into smaller jeans, not have an overhang of excess, loose skin. It’s quite impressive!
To view some of Dr. Millard’s results, please visit our photo gallery. If you are interested in more information on tummy tucks, please send us an e-mail at info@millardplasticsurgery.com or call us at 303-792-5665.

There are several differences and several similarities between the two technologies. Both technologies require three steps. The first step is the infusion which consist of the injection of the tumescent solution. The second step is the “melting” of the fat either by ultrasound with VASER or laser with MPX. The third step is the actual suction of the emulsified fat. The VASER has been around longer and tends to be used in the main surgery center while a patient is under anesthesia. The MPX is typically used in the minor procedure room where the patient does not have to be under anesthesia. The MPX is used for smaller areas in which we could complete in less that 3 hours. If we do much more than this, the patient tends to get uncomfortable, even though they are given oral medications to help them relax. The VASER is quite speedy and can pull fat off a bit faster than the MPX but tends to be more uncomfortable for a patient if they are awake. Hence the reason we use anesthesia while using the VASER. Finally, the MPX is known to have a bit more skin tightening effects. The VASER does show some, but the SmartLipo tends to tighten more and is good for arms, necks and inner thighs.
Dr. John Millard is a world renowned trainor for both technologies and is considered an expert in liposuction and body sculpting. If you would like more information on this procedure or any other procedures offered at Millard Plastic Surgery Center, please send us an e-mail at info@millardplasticsurgerycenter or you can reach us via phone at (303) 792-5665.

I just spoke with a patient who wanted to schedule her “free Botox” with http://www.skinessentialsatbodevolve.com/. I work at Millard Plastic Surgery Center and bod:evolve for renowned Denver Plastic Surgeon Dr. John Millard, so I have come to know with this patient well during her pre and post operative care. I explained to her that I’m aware of Skin Essentials “Botox Fridays” when Botox is offered at a substantial discount. I’m aware of the Botox Cosmetics Benefits Card where you save $25. I’m also aware of the Botox Anniversary Celebration Rebate of $50. But totally free Botox?
In this economy we’re clipping coupons, filling up our tanks at gas pumps where we’re rewarded for buying groceries, and keeping our eye out for buy one get one free sales.
This patient is wisely making use of Skin Essentials @ bod:evolve’s referral program.
She is referring her friends and family members to us, and in return we are thanking her with a $75 discount off her next treatment. It is our gift to her. There are no strings attached.
This patient tells me she was not comfortable discussing her surgery, but she now happily talks to her Bunco group, her fellow soccer Moms, and her co-workers about her Botox. Her next “free” treatment is scheduled for the 90 minute Microdermabrasion Treatment special we are currently offering. She is going to have a VISIA facial analysis, a crystal-free microdermabrasian, a customized chemical peel, a hydrating mask and post mineral make-up application with our Aesthetician Kristen. And she won’t even have to pay the limited time special price of $99. She’ll be getting all this for free.
Way to go! This beats clipping coupons!

After cosmetic surgery, it is quite common to notice asymmetries. What people don’t realize is that our bodies are asymmetrical to begin with, we just become more aware post-operatively. We use the term “sisters not twins” when referring to breast or opposite sides of the body. Dr. John Millard will do his best to make the body more “even” or symmetrical, but it is impossible to make each side perfectly even. After surgery, patients tend to obsess about the area of the body that was treated and point out all the details. This is one of the many reasons why it is so important to take pre-operative photographs. Photographs will remind the patient what they looked like before surgery as it is not unusually for someone to forget what they looked like prior to surgery. It is important to remember that cosmetic surgery is intended to make the body more cosmetically appealing and symmetrical, but will never make it “perfect”.
Please visit our photo gallery for before and after photos of breast augmentation, breast reductions, and breast lifts (matoplexy).
If you would like to discuss this topic further, or any other cosmetic surgery topic- please contact us at Millard Plastic Surgery Center 303-792-5665 info@millardplasticsurgery.com.
