Services
Breast Augmentation
Enhance breast size and shape with customized implants, tailored to your body proportions and aesthetic goals. Our approach prioritizes natural results, using advanced techniques to minimize scarring and ensure long-term satisfaction. Ideal for patients seeking improved symmetry, volume, or post-pregnancy restoration, this procedure combines surgical precision with personalized consultation to achieve balanced, confidence-boosting outcomes.
Mommy Makeover
Restore your pre-pregnancy figure with a customized combination of procedures addressing abdominal laxity, breast changes, and excess fat. This holistic approach typically includes tummy tuck, breast lift/augmentation, and liposuction, performed in a single session for comprehensive rejuvenation. Designed for mothers seeking physical renewal and confidence, it addresses common postpartum concerns with surgical expertise and tailored recovery plans.
Brazilian Butt Lift
Achieve enhanced curves through fat transfer from donor areas to the buttocks, creating natural volume and improved proportions. This two-step process involves liposuction followed by purified fat grafting, offering both body contouring and augmentation. Results provide a lifted, shapelier silhouette without implants, with long-term benefits from maintaining healthy weight post-procedure.
Facelift
Reverse visible signs of aging with surgical tightening of facial skin and underlying tissues, addressing sagging jowls, deep creases, and neck laxity. Modern techniques preserve natural expressions while delivering long-lasting rejuvenation, often combined with eyelid or brow lift procedures. Ideal for patients seeking dramatic improvement in facial contours and skin tone through expert surgical intervention.
Microneedling
Stimulate skin renewal and improve texture through controlled micro-injuries using SkinPen Precision technology. This minimally invasive treatment addresses scars, wrinkles, and uneven tone by promoting collagen production, with visible results after multiple sessions. Suitable for all skin types, it enhances med spa and surgical outcomes by optimizing skin health and resilience.

Amazing staff and office team. Very caring and professional. They make you feel like a priority. I couldn't be happier with my results and progress.

I really have no words for how amazing my experience was with Dr. Metzinger along with his entire team. Not only did prepare me appropriately for everything the procedure was going to require but he was there every step of the way for the recovery process (which was not the easiest for me as a workaholic). His post op care is above anything else I have experience with any other surgeon (had several orthopedic procedures done throughout my life) and I would recommend him to my closest family and friends any day.

If you have the opportunity to be treated or work with Dr. Metzinger and team I assure you, you will not be disappointed! I live in Denver full time now and have for 10 years but will always fly down to see Dr. Metzinger - it's worth the results!

Absolutely the best! Since the moment I called the first time to make my appointment they were super nice to me, my experience at the clinic has been the best! Doctor Metzinger took time to know and ask me questions about what I was looking for and I just knew it was the right place. He is amazing and I'm so pleased with my results. I am honestly so thankful for everyone at Aesthetics Surgical Associates. Excellent place!

Dr. Metzinger and his whole office are top notch! He is an amazing surgeon and his skills can be likened to one of the best Renaissance sculptors. His meticulous care of the details of anatomy, perspective, and proportion is evident. And, all of that comes along with a seamless and caring experience from start to finish.
