From the Doctor - Sponsored

Paul M. Steinwald, M.D., is a board-certified plastic surgeon at The Center for Cosmetic Surgery in the Denver metro area. An Ivy League-trained surgeon (Dartmouth College, Tulane University School of Medicine), he completed residencies in general surgery at George Washington University and plastic surgery at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF).

Early in his career, Dr. Steinwald practiced alongside his father and cultivated a deeply personal approach to patient care. His dedication is grounded in a philosophy of combining intellect, empathy, and surgical precision, a methodology he describes as using his “head, heart, and hands”.

For the past 25 years, he has built expertise across a spectrum of procedures from facelifts and rhinoplasty to drain-free tummy tucks, arm and thigh lifts. He’s especially acclaimed for his groundbreaking “inverted-T” chest masculinization technique, which preserves nipple sensation and enhances outcomes for FTM top surgery. Patients travel from all over the world for his signature procedures, benefiting from his blend of innovation and artistry.

Board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and a former diplomate of the American Board of Surgery, Dr. Steinwald is active in the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, Aesthetic Society, and Colorado Medical Society. He has contributed to surgical scholarship with national presentations, including at Gender Odyssey and UCSF, and co-authored peer-reviewed studies on complex abdominal reconstruction and sepsis biomarkers.

Patients praise his warmth and clarity. In his own words:

“My approach is to listen…partner with my patients to educate and empower them…apply the safest, most effective techniques…so that they may enjoy a more confident and fulfilling life.”

In 2023, 2024, and now 2025, Dr. Steinwald has been honored as a “Top Doc” by his peers in  5280 Magazine, an achievement marking sustained excellence, leadership, and respect from the medical community. This third consecutive award reflects his unwavering commitment to exceptional patient outcomes, innovation, and trust.

Off the clock, Dr. Steinwald is an avid musician, golfer, skier, vintage-instrument collector, marathoner, devoted husband (since 2012), and proud father of four daughters. His practice philosophy, the fusion of mastery, compassion, and innovation, has earned him national acclaim and the loyalty of countless grateful patients.

Dr. Steinwald is more than a surgeon; he’s a healer, teacher, innovator, and champion for his patients, and his third “Top Doc” accolade cements his role as a leader in aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery.
