Our Philosophy
Why Cosmetics Surgery?
Jeff Raval always wanted to be a surgeon. He admired his father, who was also a surgeon, and wanted to follow in his footsteps. It was during his plastic surgery rotation that he realized he had found his niche. The ability to reconstruct and create coupled with the need for artistry appealed to him. “It’s like doing art on the human face and body,” he says.
Rhinoplasty seemed to him the perfect mix of form following function - a straighter nose works better and improves facial balance - and he wanted to make patients happy by helping them look better. So he pursued a second specialty in otolaryngology, also known as ENT for its focus on ear, nose and throat.
Why Denver?
Dr. Raval liked the size of Denver and its potential for growth. Not too hectic but not too small. Even better, he loves the mountains and wanted to be close to his brother who lives in Denver. Whenever he visited, they went skiing together, and the decision to move here was easy.
Dr. Raval started with a group practice in 2001, then after six years he started his own practice, Raval Facial Aesthetics. Later, he was able to acquire Rocky Mountain Laser Aesthetics, adding medical spa services to expand his plastic surgery practice.
Less is More
One thing that has never changed for Dr. Jeff Raval is his philosophy that less is more when it comes to plastic surgery and aesthetic procedures. “Whenever you try to do too much, ultimately it won’t look as good or as natural as if you make more incremental changes,” he explains. “There are fewer complications and, long term, you get better results.”
The Cosmetics Craze
Aesthetic procedures made self-improvement more affordable because patients were able to get a pick-me-up right in the office. Botox® came first, approved by the FDA in 2002. “It’s inexpensive,” says Dr. Raval, “and it works amazingly well to make nice improvements.” He now teaches medical professionals from around the country how to most effectively use Botox injections for their own patients.
Dermal fillers came next, although early volumizers didn’t last long. Newer generations such as Juvéderm and Restylane last a year or longer, so they became another real option that is also more affordable. Dr. Raval especially likes these products because they are well-proven. He knows how they work and behave, how long they last, and that they provide quality over time for patients.
Lasers changed things again, with their ability to reduce fat, tighten skin and provide other cosmetic enhancement benefits not available with Botox® or fillers.
The practice is steadily growing, but not too fast. “That’s how we like it,” says Dr. Raval. Maintaining quality of care is paramount, so changes are always considered with patients in mind and new staff are always well-trained.
