I strongly recommend AURA Advanced Plastic Surgery in Boulder, the practice of Nathan Roesner, a…read moreDoctor of Osteopathy (an MD who treats the whole patient), for your cosmetic surgery or reconstructive needs. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer last November, Nathan Roesner intervened during the most daunting period of my life; he helped me. To add to the hellish diagnosis, I was hit with the death of my younger sister, Maya, who passed away the very day before I visited the Aura office. Dr. Roesner was incredibly empathetic when he and I first met. He shared that he had lost a dear friend of his earlier that year. His words were precisely what I needed to hear that day. He then explained the complex phased breast reconstruction process using visual aids and sketches. The plan reassured me that I was in excellent hands. On December 20th, 2023, I had a double mastectomy, and then Roesner performed Phase 1 of my reconstruction. The following day, I awakened and immediately leaped out of bed to look in the hospital mirror. I unzipped the white sports bra the surgical staff had placed me in and took a good look at myself. The Tissue Expansion Devices (TEDs) were slightly filled. I am so grateful that I didn't have to go through the additional trauma of waking up flat-chested. My post-surgical pathology report revealed that more cancer was lurking, so Dr. Roesner had me scheduled to undergo the removal of more tissue, D[r. Roesner's surgical coordinator deserves a quick shout-out. She got me in the OR before any metastasis occurred. THANK YOU.] The more radical clearance of breast tissue led to an epically received report of NED (No Evidence of Disease)...not even any RESIDUAL disease remained in my system - (or at least none that can be detected by the state-of-the-art surveillance systems we have to date). Roesner removed some of the air from the TEDs to protect the fresh incisions from the stress of being stretched. I looked deflated, which was not very cute, but only briefly, for the air fills began shortly, eventually replaced with saline. During that second surgery, Roesner also removed a chemotherapy port from my chest that I wouldn't be needing. Having the port so seamlessly removed was a tremendous relief for me. Over the next few months, I would visit the AURA office for TED fills and facial treatments, including BBLs - Broad Band Light laser treatments. Master medical esthetician Kerri McMain performed my BBLS and other facial work. Kerri is probably one of the most careful, competent medical estheticians to have ever worked on my face, neck, and decolléte. As a licensed esthetician, I am highly selective with who wields a laser over my skin; I knew I was safe with Roesner's practice. I even brought my 11-year-old daughter in as we were struggling to clear up her acne. Not only did Kerri work on her face with great care, but she also gave us fresh ideas regarding care and prevention. With just a single microdermabrasion session at AURA, there was marked improvement in my daughter's skin. Kerri is also a delight to converse with; she seems genuinely concerned about the health and beauty of the patient's skin and overall wellness. I felt valued as a patient at AURA. The desk attendants always seem upbeat and accommodating. Dr Roesner's Nurse, Tanya, was the one who typically performed my TED fills (gradually expanding the breasts via painless needle puncture). Even with the injections, undergoing those fills proved to be some of the most incredible medical fun ever. Growing breasts was an absolute blast for me! Nurse Tanya was always a pleasure to see, as was every other individual who works at Aura, conveniently located near Pearl Street in Boulder, Colorado. My reconstruction has become more aesthetically pleasing than 97% of the reconstructions I have viewed. [Mind you, I am a brutal critic.] Since the 3rd surgery (swapping out the TEDs for silicone implants) on April 22nd, 2024, I have noticed that my breasts are outstanding in symmetry. They are also my preferred size -my original size- and have minimal scarring. Dr Roesner must have used some technique that looks anything like butchery. Best of all, the new breasts feel like they BELONG inside my body; they cause me zero pain; granted, I am half numb, but with consistent scar massage, the sensation is starting to return. What's a nice bonus is that I can wear almost all of my favorite pre-mastectomy bras. I had some pretty great native breasts before all of this, so the bar was set very high for Dr. Roesner. By the grace of God working through him, he managed to hit the high bar. He hit it aesthetically as well as perfectly excising an invasive cancer that would have left my daughter without a mother. Instead, I was SAVED, and I have literally been resurrected. So, I insist that you give AURA a go.

They did a great with me- I received a hydro facial twice and Botox which lasted me almost 5 months!!!!!! Which I think is insane and they didn't use more than 25 units which was the same amount the dermatologist was doing and I was not receiving the same results.

I don't know anything about skincare but at 41 I know I need to do something. So going to a typical spa is daunting as I don't know what facial I need to choose? Hydration? Clarifying? How would I know?! I just know what I want and thankfully, Valeriya knows what I need. So I don't waste my money signing up for a facial that won't give me the results I want. Valeriya takes the time to understand my concerns, walk me through her recommendations, and she sets expectations for results. B) I work full time and have 2 little kids. Half the reason I don't take time for myself is the travel time necessary to take time for myself. A one hour facial sounds delightful but when I need to drive 30 min each way to get one, i don't have time for that (although the attention I got from Valeriya would be worth it for you folks coming from outside of Erie). Now I have a local place to go conveniently tucked into my neighborhood. C) the pricing is so reasonable. Did I mention the facial I got was customized? When I have ventured to a traditional spa in the past I felt like they tacked on an additional cost for everything! You sign up for a hydration facial but need a couple extractions? Add $20 here, $20 there. My customized facial address the hydration I needed, the small patch of redness and scales and exfoliating I needed. Seriously, where else do you get that!? Plus, let's be honest, as a 41 year old, I'm gonna need more than just 1 facial to achieve my results and Valeriya has packages! With rising prices of all the things, who doesn't love a deal? D) this is more of a feel good reason but I love the idea of supporting a locally owned, female owned business. Valeriya's in home aesthetics still offers the relaxation and escape that I'd get from going to a big chain but without the impersonal feel. Her treatment room is warm and inviting. I'll report back after my next treatment!
