What is the route from Broomfield?

Broomfield sits northwest of the office. US 36 southeast to the I-25 area, or 120th Avenue east across the north metro, both work. From the eastern side of Broomfield, 120th Avenue is usually the simpler run.

Is breast augmentation or a lift right for me?

The deciding factor is where your nipple sits relative to the crease beneath your breast. Augmentation adds volume and does not lift. A lift repositions and does not add volume. When both apply, the two are combined.

Are there age requirements for implants?

Yes, and they are set by the FDA. Saline implants are approved for augmentation from age 18, silicone gel implants from age 22.

Do implants need to be checked over time?

For silicone gel implants the FDA recommends periodic imaging, ultrasound or MRI, to check for silent rupture, first at five to six years and then every two to three years. The schedule can vary by implant, so follow the device labelling and your surgeon. Saline implants need no routine rupture imaging.

How many appointments will I need to travel for?

A free consultation, a pre-operative visit, and follow-ups over the months afterward. From Broomfield the time needed depends on traffic and the appointment.

The most common question from this side

Augmentation, a lift, or both

Patients from Broomfield can discuss which procedure, if any, addresses their goals at consultation.

The answer is anatomic rather than a matter of taste. Augmentation adds volume and does not lift. A lift repositions the nipple and tightens the skin and does not add volume. The deciding factor is where your nipple sits relative to the crease beneath your breast, which is exactly what the augmentation versus lift comparison sets out.

Every consultation, operation and follow-up is performed by Dr. John Samas, MD, FACS.

What Broomfield patients ask about

Breast surgery leads, body contouring follows

Breast augmentation, breast lift and breast reduction account for most Broomfield consultations.

Revision work is also common, both revision augmentation and implant removal for patients reconsidering a decision made years ago. Breast implants are not lifetime devices.

Body work rounds out the list, most often liposuction and abdominoplasty.
