Aspen and Snowmass Village
Drive or fly, then plan the stay
Patients from Aspen and Snowmass Village visit our Northglenn office for consultations and surgery. Discuss travel and follow-up arrangements at your consultation.
Some patients drive the whole way. Others fly into Denver International Airport, which is about 30 to 40 minutes outside peak traffic from the office. Both work, and the season often decides it.
Whichever you choose, build the trip around Dr. Samas's instructions rather than the other way round. Ask at the consultation what the follow-up schedule is likely to look like.

What Aspen and Snowmass patients can discuss
Breast surgery, revision and fillers
A consultation from Aspen or Snowmass Village can cover a breast lift, fillers and revision breast augmentation. Grouping questions into one visit matters more when the trip is this long.
Plan the journey home as part of the appointment. If your procedure involves sedation or general anesthesia, you will need someone to drive you home, and the timing of a long drive home is Dr. Samas's decision for your procedure. Winter conditions on I-70 can add hours or close the road, so leave extra time and call the office if travel stops being safe. Ask Dr. Samas whether returning to a higher elevation changes anything in your recovery plan. The out-of-town patients page covers how longer-distance visits are arranged.
Travel planning
Travel after surgery
Whether and when you can travel home after surgery is Dr. Samas's decision, based on your procedure and recovery.
- Long car rides after surgery can raise the risk of blood clots. Follow Dr. Samas's instructions about breaks and movement. If you have chest pain, shortness of breath, or leg swelling or pain, call 911.
