Non-surgical nose job with fillers For one reason or another, many of us are not satisfied with our nose. Changing the profile of the nose has a subtle but major effect on how we look (and feel). Until recently, beside a full surgical nose job also known as “rhinoplasty”, there were not many options for adjusting this important aspect of our silhouette. The average cost of a surgical nose job...

by Elizabeth Janowski Full lips are “in”. We get more and more calls each day from woman wanting to enhance their lip volume and improve their lip shape. Celebrities like Kylie Jenner have normalized getting lip filler – and there is nothing wrong with that. One of the great things about adding volume to the lips is that it is completely reversible – and the filler...

by Liz Janowski, CEO Multiple times a day – whether out and about, or in our office – we see someone who would look better with a little mid-face volume. Especially in a place as fit and active as Colorado, we often see patients whose faces have hollowed or flattened because they are so thin and athletic- making them appear older and less radiant than they really are.
