Why Choose Dr. Schmidt for Facial Surgery in Denver?

  • June 1, 2026

Dr. Jeffrey L. Schmidt of Schmidt Facial Plastic Surgery is a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon whose practice is exclusively dedicated to the face, making him a remarkable option for facial surgery in the Denver area. His combination of specialized training, advanced techniques, and customized care is designed to help patients achieve natural-looking, confidence-boosting results.

Patients also appreciate that Dr. Schmidt has been recognized multiple times by 5280 Magazine as one of Denver’s top doctors, reflecting strong support from his physician peers. His mission is to instill joy and inspire confidence by giving patients a face they feel comfortable sharing with Denver and the world. 

How Is His Denver Facial Surgery Practice Designed Around Natural-Looking Results?

Schmidt Facial Plastic Surgery focuses on treatments custom-tailored to achieve natural-looking results rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Dr. Schmidt emphasizes that he and his team are committed to precision and a higher level of service with a relationship that goes beyond a typical doctor-patient interaction. The goal is to bring out your best features while preserving what makes you look like yourself.

Commonly requested procedures, such as facelifts, rhinoplasty, eyelid lifts, chin reshaping, and ear reshaping, are carefully planned to harmonize with your existing facial structure. For example, facelift procedures reposition sagging soft tissues to restore a more youthful appearance, often combining eyelid or brow procedures for a more comprehensive yet natural rejuvenation. 

Some benefits of Dr. Schmidt’s natural-focused approach include:

  • Procedures that are designed to refresh your appearance, not change your identity.
  • Surgical plans that are tailored around your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.
  • Combined procedures (such as a facelift with an eyelid lift or rhinoplasty) that can help achieve more balanced, harmonious results.
  • Long-term planning that aims to help you look energized and youthful while avoiding an overdone look.

What Facial Cosmetic Surgeries Does Dr. Schmidt Offer in Denver?

Dr. Schmidt offers a comprehensive menu of facial cosmetic procedures through Schmidt Facial Plastic Surgery. These focus areas can help address concerns about aging, contour, and proportion in the face and neck.

Facelift and Facial Rejuvenation

Our facelifts reposition sagging soft tissues to restore a more youthful appearance. At Schmidt Facial Plastic Surgery, we personalize each facelift procedure, so you look much like you did years ago, just more refreshed.

A facelift with Dr. Schmidt can be combined with other procedures for a more complete rejuvenation:

  • Eyelid lift (blepharoplasty)
  • Brow lift or forehead lift
  • Rhinoplasty
  • Lip augmentation
  • Earlobe repair
  • Removal of excess fatty tissues in the face and neck
  • Surgical skin resurfacing

Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty)

Eyelid lift procedures enhance the appearance of the upper and/or lower eyelids. Dr. Schmidt can perform blepharoplasty alongside a facelift to further brighten and open the eye area. This combination is designed to give the face a more rested, alert look while maintaining a natural expression. 

Rhinoplasty and Nose Surgery

Rhinoplasty is considered one of the most technically demanding procedures, and Dr. Schmidt’s practice emphasizes precision and planning. You’ll find that rhinoplasty is designed not only to refine the nose, but to enhance overall facial harmony.

Schmidt Facial Plastic Surgery also uses Vectra 3D simulation software for rhinoplasty, enabling patients to preview potential changes and how they may impact the balance of their features. This technology can help you feel more confident and informed about your planned outcome.

Chin Reshaping (Mentoplasty) and Profile Balancing

Chin reshaping or mentoplasty is offered to either augment or reduce the chin, depending on your needs. This procedure is often combined with rhinoplasty to create a more attractive profile. Small adjustments to the chin projection can significantly affect the perceived balance of the entire face.

Ear Reshaping (Otoplasty)

Ear reshaping is designed to bring prominent, asymmetrical, or disproportionate ears into better harmony with the rest of the face. Dr. Schmidt focuses not only on improving the ears themselves but also on how those changes affect the overall facial balance and draw attention back to the eyes.

Additional Cosmetic Facial Procedures

Dr. Schmidt also provides several other facial cosmetic options in Denver, including:

  • Cheek augmentation
  • Lip augmentation
  • Facial fat grafting
  • Liposuction of the face and neck
  • Forehead reduction/hairline advancement
  • Dermabrasion
  • Scar revision
  • Excision of skin lesions
  • Buccal fat pad reduction

These procedures are designed to improve contours, smooth the surface of the skin and help restore youthful definition.

How Does Dr. Schmidt Combine Reconstructive and Cosmetic Expertise?

One of the distinguishing features of Schmidt Facial Plastic Surgery is the strong integration of reconstructive and cosmetic facial surgery in a single, highly focused practice. Dr. Schmidt’s work in facial trauma, skin cancer reconstruction, and lesion excision showcases his detailed understanding of facial anatomy and tissue healing.

This experience can benefit cosmetic patients as well. When a surgeon frequently reconstructs faces after trauma and skin cancer excision, they gain a deep understanding of how to restore natural contours and texture, skills that directly translate to more refined cosmetic outcomes. His advanced reconstruction techniques have also earned the trust of many dermatologists who refer their patients to him for complex facial repairs.

What Non-Surgical Facial Treatments Are Available to Complement Surgery?

For patients who are not ready for surgery or who want to enhance or maintain their surgical results, Dr. Schmidt also offers a full menu of non-surgical facial treatments. These procedures help address fine lines, pigment, texture, and early laxity.

Non-surgical services offered at Schmidt Facial Plastic Surgery include:

  • BOTOX® and Xeomin®
  • Dermal fillers
  • Microneedling
  • Picosure laser rejuvenation
  • Erbium YAG laser
  • IPL hair removal
  • Chemical peels
  • Medical-grade skin care products
  • Latisse® for lashes

These treatments are designed to soften wrinkles, improve skin quality, and refine facial contours without the downtime of surgery. Many patients use these services as part of a long-term plan to help maintain a youthful, refreshed look before or after procedures like a facelift or eyelid surgery.

How Does Dr. Schmidt Personalize the Facial Surgery Experience?

Personalized care, individualized treatment plans, and two-way communication make up the core focus for Schmidt Facial Plastic Surgery.

When you contact the office, you can specify your procedure of interest and your decision stage, from “Just Started Researching” to “Ready to Book a Procedure.” This structure is designed to help the team meet you where you are in your journey.

During consultations, Dr. Schmidt reviews each patient’s personal goals, medical history, and lifestyle to build a customized plan. For facial rejuvenation, this may mean combining a facelift with eyelid surgery and laser resurfacing or recommending a staged approach that begins with non-surgical treatments and transitions to surgery when the time is right.

What Benefits Can Patients Expect from This Specific Approach?

  • A treatment plan designed specifically around your facial structure and goals
  • Honest guidance on whether surgical, non-surgical or combined options may best fit your needs
  • A stepwise plan that can help you move from research to treatment at your own pace
  • Ongoing support before and after your procedure to help you feel confident throughout the process
