Two years ago I decided to have lipo on my hips and saddlebags as I had done everything to lose them and could not. Dr Vath was amazing. At the time I weigh 180 pounds (from 200). He sculpted my hips and thighs perfectly. Two years later, after losing another 35 pounds, my hips, butt and thighs look amazing. I am wearing pants styles that I have never been able to wear and feel very sexy. I still can’t believe that it is me in the mirror. So a month ago I decided to fix my breast as they were prematurely sagging and had stretch marks from the weight loss. Dr. Vath had done such an incredible job on my lipo there was no question as to who I was going to have perform the surgery. Dr. Vath performed a breast lift and an augmentation. It is absolutely beyond my expectations. They turned out perfect and so even. During both procedures, he showed so much compassion. He truly has such incredible skill and is truly a gifted surgeon. Pros: Compassionate, High level of skill more

Dr. Wolfe performed my breast augmentation in February 2009. I went from a negative A cup to a small C cup. I am a tiny, petite woman. I am 5' 2' and weigh about 105 lbs. I cannot express how pleased I am with the results. The procedure was quick and thanks to Dr. Wolfe and his staff, I was prepared for the recovery time. It's been just over a year now. I'm just so pleased and happy that Dr. Wolfe has helped give me the confidence I didn't know that I could have. Thank you. Pros: Friendly Organized Staff, Honest, Personable more

I had a tummy tuck and lipo after having twins 6 years ago. In addition, I have developed major allergies over the last few years so I was terrified to do this. After the consult, Dr. Vath reassured me that he wouldn't be able to operate unless I was at the lowest possible risk. So I jumped in. The anaesthesiologist was AMAZING - totally pushed all my fears aside gave me benedryl before I went under. I didn't wake up or feel anything which is what I was most scared of. Once you wake up Dr. Vath is there and he immediately gives you valium b/c the muscle spasms are pretty bad but nothing that you haven't felt before if you've had twins or a bunch of babies. Between that and the pain killers - you are set and hardly feel anything. I was off the drugs after 3-4 days. The whole thing was so easy - I was back on the treadmill (walking slowly) after 3 weeks. At six weeks my scares are just little pink lines. Completely worth everything!! Pros: Amazing Plastic Surgeon Cons: None, some pain during recovery more

Dr. Vath performed a breast lift with augmentation for me. The results were amazing! I had very little pain, and no complications. Dr. Vath addressed every one of my questions throughout the entire process in a way that I could understand. He really guided me through my procedure and was truly concerned about my happiness with my surgical results. I came back to Dr. Vath after I had healed and my implants had settled with one concern, my breasts had again stretched which required more skin to be removed. He addressed it without any hesitation and immediately made the changes to make me happy. It has been great working with Dr. Vath, his amazing staff, and the surgery center where I had my procedure done. I would definitely recommend Dr. Vath. Pros: Best service, best results! Cons: Wanting to go back for more. more

29 years after having my first baby and I have finally been reunited with my long lost belly button! :)\r \r I am just a month past my Tummy Tuck with Dr. Vath and am astounded and EXTREMELY pleased with my results. My stomach looks like a 16 year old again, flat...smooth, strong. (Can we say hip hugger jeans again?)\r \r Please keep in mind I am not a newcomer to cosmetic surgery. I had 2 procedures done 8 years ago with another surgeon and my results were not what I had expected. \r \r This time, I decided to get the best...and after doing LOTS of research, I picked Dr. Vath. I read nothing but good reviews...and cannot tell you what it feels like to have a procedure done that goes way beyond your highest expectations. \r \r Thank you Dr. Vath for giving me back my body, my confidence (and a bikini!) :) \r \r \r \r Pros: Incredible results, personal, professional more

I considered a tummy tuck for six years. I did tons of research. I am from San Diego and was going to get it done there however when I met Dr. Vath my search was over. He makes you feel comfortable right away. He is very passionate about his work. I never expected to wear a bikini again. He did not recommend additional procedures only what is necessary. My results are phenomenal. He cares about his patients. He has a passion for his work and it shows. I do not need to go on. I have no problem sharing my pictures they will provide enough proof. He is an amazing doctor that will give you results that will far exceed your expectations. more

Dr. Vath is a great surgen. Last year I had him perform a breast lift and a tummy tuck. It was the best decision I have every made. I would highly recommend him! He is a joy to work with and completely eliminated all my fears. I couldn't be happier! Pros: Dr. Vath more

I had two children and gained over 60 pounds with each. Although, I lost the weight quickly I was left with a saggy lower belly and breasts. I have always wanted a mommy makeover and I finally did it! My husband felt like I should stay the same. I am so glad I didn't listen to him. I think he's now glad as well. My clothes fit better. My breasts are now proportional with my hips. I feel like my self but, sexier. My husband can't keep his hands off! Dr. Vath did a wonderful job. I have a few friends who have had tummy tucks and breast augmentations and my results look far better. He had to completely re- create a new belly button and I have no scarring around it what so ever. The only regret I have is not doing this sooner! more

Dr. Andrew Wolfe gave me a whole new outlook on life. December 2008, I had a tummy tuck and a breast augmentation. Prior to the surgery, Dr. Wolfe and staff made sure that I was well informed of my choices and went into great detail about the recovery process.\r \r During one of my visits, prior to having surgery, Dr. Wolfe told me that I would more than likely come into his office post op and not be a happy person. He expected to see me in PJs and not looking so pretty or feeling so good. OH BOY, did I get to prove him wrong. I felt terrific a week after surgery. When he walked into the exam room, he was more than shocked to see me with makeup and wearing jeans and a sweater.\r \r The following Spring I got to wear a BIKINI for the first time ever. I loved showing off my new body on a Mexican Cruise.\r \r Thank you Dr. Wolfe for giving me the body I never thought I could have. Pros: Best Mommy Makeover more

After a horrible hysterectomy that years later left my stomach a mess, Dr. Vath gave me back a body that looks and felts like it did before the hysterectomy. I consulted with Dr. Vath about having a tummy tuck and he was very clear and up front about what he could do for me. As it turned out, the results were even better than expected! I have to be honest, as I was awaiting the surgery I almost decided not to go through with it. I was having serious second thoughts and a panic attack. Just as I was about to leave, Dr. Vath walked into the room and immediately set things right and I knew that I was in the best possible hands and that everything would be all right. And it was. Dr. Vath did not ""dismiss"" me from his care until everything was perfect. I will be forever grateful. His profession skill was absolutely equal to his care and concern for me. I have fabulous results that have surpassed what I had ever hoped for. I feel 10 years younger and healthier! Pros: Surgical skills; honesty; dedication to patient. Cons: None. more

I have had a body lift, breast augmentation and breast implants performed by Dr. Vath. These surgeries were the result of losing 175+ pounds, plus having kids. I research a dozen plastic surgeons, and personally interviewed 4. Dr. Vath was by far the most caring and thorough. He has very solid credentials and skills, and was the most highly recommended. From the initial meeting to surgical follow up appointments, Dr Vath and his staff have been pleasant, professional, on-time, caring and have gone above and beyond at every step of the process. I couldn't be happier with my results, and am thrilled that I chose him as my surgeon. Pros: Dr. Vath is highly qualified, caring and professional more

As I read all the reviews previous to mine, I sit here in complete agreement with every complementary statement made about Dr. Wolfe. I hope my story helps relate to you that you need look no further for the BEST surgeon for your procedure. My story? I am 35 and had my last child 4 years ago. I have always been selfconscious about my small breasts and really wanted my pre-children stomach back, so I started researching every aspect of the surgeries themselves; then targeted my search on the most highly qualified/skilled surgeon for the job. This was undoubtably the largest decision I had ever made for my body, so I researched in detail; what seemed to be every plastic surgeon in the Denver area. I then made consultation appointments with the top 3. I met with two, but didn't feel secure about either one. Then I met with Dr. Wolfe. From the moment I walked into his office, I felt comfortable. He was thorough, making sure that he knew exactly what I wanted, answered all my questions and concerns, and explained in detail what I could expect from both procedures. You get the feeling that you're the only person on his books that day. He is very well educated, his professionalism was impeccable, yet I was incredibly comfortable with him; as if I'd known him forever. It's funny......when I left his office that day, I felt very secure that his Artistic ability matched his education level as well. There was NO question that I'd found the perfect Surgeon. My surgery was 7 months ago (January) and my results far surpass what I had hoped for. Not only do I have a flat stomach, but I have amazing muscle definition. My incision?Eventhough the incision was from hip to hip, I have felt confident wearing a bikini all summer (haven't done that since before children) because the scar is thin and faint. I wish I could include a picture here, because words just don't do the man justice! As for my augmentation? It was VERY important to me that I look 'natural' and proportionate. That is exactly what I got! Absolutley flawless naturally curving breasts. My husband was very nervous about such a huge overhaul, and thought it was unneccessary because 'he loved me just the way I was'....now he tells me everyday that 'this is definately the best money we have ever spent"". In part because of the amazing results, but equally because of the boost in my self esteem! Thank you Dr. Wolfe :) Pros: confident,professional, highly educated, guy next door Cons: that I waited so long to have this done :) more

I had a surgical procedure done with Dr. Wolfe over a year ago and I am extremely happy with the results. He and his staff are professional yet happy and fun to work with. My follow up appointments have been thorough and all my questions and concerns answered. My wife is looking forward to her procedure some day soon. We wouldn't consider going anywhere else. Pros: My experience has been great! more

Cosmetic surgery was something that I thought about for over five years but I knew not to take it lightly so for two years before my surgery, I educated myself and I certainly wanted the best doctor that I could find. I had other consultations with other doctors, but after meeting with Dr. Wolfe, I knew he was the doctor that I wanted to do my surgery. He answered all my questions and I felt less nervous after visiting with him. He did such amazing work and I am sooo pleased with everything. I couldn't be any happier with myself and with my experience.I loved his staff and nurses and I have already recommended him to my friends. It has been exactly one year since my surgery and I just had my follow up with Dr. Wolfe and I couldn't be happier. This was the greatest decision that I've ever made for myself. Pros: Great Cosmetic Surgeon Cons: No cons for me: It was a great experience! more

I did so much research online and ""interviewed"" two other plastic surgeons prior to my visit with Dr. Wolfe. I came very close to cancelling my consulation with Dr. Wolfe after meeting the first two Docs because I just wanted to get the procedure started. I am SO glad that I kept my appt. with Dr. Wolfe. After meeting with him I KNEW he was the Dr. for me. I felt incredibly safe with him. He went over every detail and did not make me feel rushed or unimportant. There was NO question when I left his office that he would be my surgeon. It has been two months since my surgery and I have NO regrets with my decision to choose Dr. Wolfe. Dr. Wolfe is an artist in every sense of the word. He takes great pride in his ""work"" and it shows. My incisions are minimal and I've healed beautifully so far, I've got a long way to go and I am anxious for all of the swelling to go down, but I am SO happy with the results thus far.\r \r PLEASE......Do yourself a favor, if you are looking for an INCREDIBLE plastic surgeon that takes great pride in his work and has fantastic bedside manner, make an appt. with Dr. Wolfe. You will not be sorry! \r \r Pros: Fantastic bedside manner, excellent surgeon, artist. more

This young man is very honest, ethical, and highly trained. You can trust his judgment about the cosmetic procedures that you may desire. He will say no if necessary but if he says yes, you will be in excellent and caring hands. Pros: Dr. Wolfe is a caring, highly skilled plastic surgeon. more

I went to Dr. Vath for a mommy makeover and had interviewed two other doctors prior. I found with Dr. Vath he was very professional, honest about what things were going to be like after the surgery. I was very impressed with his work that was done on me. Who knew I could look like my old self before children! I took the time to research other doctors and his work exceeds what I saw from the other doctors. He has a wonderful bedside manner and makes sure you are comfortable with alll the decisions. His staff is wonderful as well. The nurses at the office were exceptionaly helpful and answered every question to help with making you stay calm before and after the surgery. With out a doubt I recommend Dr. Vath to anyone who is looking for a cosmetic surgeon! Pros: Professional, cutting edge,great surgical skill more

Dr. Vath was very professional, knowledgeable, and honest in my initial consultation. He went over everything about the ""mommy makeover"" with my husband and myself and made us feel very comfortable with the decision we were making for me to have surgery. Now 5 weeks post op, I am amazed at my results so far and I feel absolutely fabulous! I highly recommend Dr. Vath to anyone looking into having cosmetic surgery done. Pros: professional more

When I began my research about having a combined surgical procedure (tummy tuck and breast reduction) I interviewed 3 plastic surgeons and did my research regarding their level of skill, and their results and decided on Dr. Steven Vath. Best thing I could have done! My results were amazing, and my recovery smooth as can be. If you are thinking about plastic surgery, take a good long look and compare before and after pictures for Dr. Vath's patients with other surgeons' and you will see the difference. Pros: surgical skill and bedside manner more

If you are reading this, you are probably alot like me, nervous, excited and wanting to know the truth about the person that could possibly change your life! Well here you go.....After researching several plastic surgeons throughout Colorado, I came upon Dr. Vath. \r At the first meeting he offered a professional sencerity that is rare to find in the medical field. After 2 children assisted in the ""altering"" of my figure, a tummy tuck was my goal. \r Any surgery can generate a tramendous amount of questions, Dr. Vath is honest and methodical about the procedure and recovery. \r The results.....AMAZING!! He went above and beyond to make sure that I was happy with the outcome.\r I can say with confidence that I enthusiastically, with no hesitation recommend Dr. Vath for the ""work"" that you are looking to have done. \r I urge you to take the time to meet with Dr. Vath his work is clearly superior!!\r \r TAKE CARE!!!!!!!!! Pros: Comfortble Professionalism more
