Plastic Surgeons Serving Denver and Boulder, Colorado Embrace Social Media

    GOLDEN, CO, January 24, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Two local plastic surgeons have created a blog to help provide reliable answers to plastic surgery questions while debunking myths and misinformation. Dr. Steven Vath and Dr. Andrew Wolfe (www.thecenterforcosmeticsurgery.net), plastic surgeons near Boulder, Colorado say they expect their Denver Cosmetic Surgery blog to become a popular resource for local women and men looking for accurate information about cosmetic surgery.

"Even with all the plastic surgery sites out there, many patients have a tough time sorting through the hype and misinformation," notes Dr. Vath. "Dr. Wolfe and I take a very clear, no-nonsense approach to educating our own patients, and we thought a blog would be a great way to help even more people get answers that they can actually trust."

So far the surgeons, who are board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, have tackled topics as controversial as the proposed cosmetic surgery tax and "off-label" uses of BOTOX Cosmetic, along with more conventional issues like how to choose a Boulder area plastic surgeon.

However, even beyond helping readers stay up-to-date, both doctors hope that the blog at http://www.denvercosmeticsurgeryblog.com will share with patients important ways to safeguard their health and surgical results.

"Patients need to have the facts if they're going to be able to make the best decisions," notes Dr. Wolfe. "We blog on dubious surgical techniques that people might be hearing about as well as the ones that really work because we feel it's crucial for patients to be able to tell the difference between the two."

Both doctors also hope the blog will give patients an important forum to share their questions and concerns about plastic surgery and receive personalized answers from the doctors directly. Readers can leave comments on any blog post, or they can share their questions with the doctors privately through a contact form on the site.

"The blog puts our readers in contact with us quickly and directly, and gives them a great opportunity to benefit from our experience," explains Dr. Vath. "A consultation is obviously the best place for patients to get in-depth recommendations, and there are some questions we can't answer without knowing more, but most of the time we can give very thorough answers just through the blog."

The doctors say they are already developing a strong following among their own patients, and expect to see the blog grow in popularity with patients from elsewhere in Colorado and across the nation as well.

"Regardless of whether they're looking for a breast augmentation or a "mini" facelift near Boulder," says Dr. Wolfe, "people know our reputation and our results, they know what we stand for, and they feel comfortable that we can answer their questions thoroughly."

Dr. Steven Vath and Dr. Andrew Wolfe (www.thecenterforcosmeticsurgery.net) are board-certified plastic surgeons practicing at the Center for Cosmetic Surgery in Denver, which offers a full range of cosmetic procedures for the face and body. Dr. Vath earned his MD from the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. He completed a General Surgery residency at George Washington University and received his Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery training at the Louisiana State University Medical Center and Charity Hospital. Dr. Wolfe earned his MD at The Chicago Medical School before receiving advanced surgical training in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the Georgetown University Medical Center.
