Services
Facelift
Our facelift procedures address visible signs of aging by tightening skin and underlying tissues for a more youthful appearance. Ideal for patients seeking long-lasting results, this surgical option improves jawline definition and reduces deep creases. With techniques ranging from weekend mini-lifts to comprehensive deep plane lifts, we customize approaches to match individual facial structures and aesthetic goals while maintaining natural expressions.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty procedures reshape the nose to enhance facial harmony and improve breathing function. We offer both primary and revision surgeries using advanced techniques that maintain structural integrity while achieving desired aesthetics. Patients benefit from personalized consultations with 3D imaging technology to visualize potential outcomes, ensuring alignment between surgical plans and patient expectations for balanced, natural-looking results.
Botox
Botox injections temporarily relax facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, smoothing expression lines around the eyes and forehead. This non-surgical treatment requires no downtime and delivers visible results within days. Our specialists tailor injection plans to maintain natural facial movement while addressing crow's feet, frown lines, and forehead creases for a refreshed appearance lasting up to four months.
Laser Resurfacing
Laser resurfacing treatments target skin imperfections like sun damage, acne scars, and uneven texture using fractional CO2 technology. This minimally invasive procedure stimulates collagen production for improved skin tone and elasticity. Patients achieve smoother, more radiant complexions through customized treatment plans that balance effectiveness with appropriate recovery periods for different skin types and concerns.
BioTE Hormone Therapy
BioTE hormone replacement therapy addresses hormonal imbalances through bioidentical hormone pellets derived from plant sources. This treatment alleviates symptoms like fatigue and low libido by restoring optimal hormone levels. Our certified providers create personalized regimens based on comprehensive evaluations, offering ongoing monitoring to ensure safe, effective results that improve energy levels, mental clarity, and overall well-being.

I was billed a total of $976.00 for a nose surgery consultation. That's right, just for a consultation! I was searching for a good and qualified surgeon to perform my septoplasty/rhinoplasty surgery and I found a few doctors that seemed promising in the Denver area, Dr. Cote among them. I called FacesFirst and they told me over the phone that the consultation fee was going to be $125, paid in advance as a deposit to hold the consult date and that this charge would go toward my surgery if I booked it with them. I had already been to other surgery consultations by this point and this fee seemed

Dr. Picerno is amazing! I had a mini facelift/neck lift and look amazing, like me, 10 years ago! From the initial consultation through the follow up I was treated with kindness professionalism and most importantly "no attitude".
Dr. Picerno is an excellent plastic surgeon and very busy. She made me feel like I was the most important part of her day. She took the time to listen to my concerns answered all of my questions, nothing was rushed. She is the most unpretentious Dr. I have ever met. I had other consultations, I am so happy I made the right decision to have Dr. Picerno and

I wanted so much to talk to any of the doctors and I was willing to schedule an appointment, but the receptionist was very rude and short. She questioned all the information about my debit card, like if she was interested in receiving money, but didn't give me the time to ask questions :( She was horrible!!
