The decision to undergo plastic surgery is an important and personal step. Many of our patients have been considering the procedure for years, perhaps even since adolescence.

Dr . Atagi's artistry and expertise in Plastic Surgery melds her interests and training in art, design, medical product development and medicine. In a survey conducted by Denver's 5280 Magazine, Dr. Atagi was voted by her physician peers as one of Denver's "Top Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons," in her first year of practice in 2003 and again in consecutive years.

Our goal is to make you feel as comfortable as possible as you gather information and begin to make the decision as to wheather or not this is a procedure that is right for you.
