I had my rhinoplasty done with Dr. Kolenda and I couldn’t be happier with the entire process and the result! I had a friend who referred me to Dr. Kolenda, as she did her own procedure with him. I decided to go with Dr. Kolenda after meeting with a few surgeons because he took the time to really listen to my concerns/wants and completely understood my vision. After the consult, I knew he was going to be the surgeon I went with. Our consult was incredibly thorough, he answered all my questions, and made everything about the pre, procedure, and post very clear. All my anxieties were put at ease. I was very concerned about not having the end result look too “dramatic” or “obvious” and Dr. Kolenda fully saw my vision for wanting a natural looking nose. The pre-surgery instructions were super easy to follow and the staff were all very helpful and responsive. The day of the surgery itself was very seamless. But, by far, the main reason why I knew I made the right decision with Dr. Kolenda was due to the recovery process. The post-op experience was so easy. I had no pain, practically no bruising, and returned to work 8 days after my surgery date (the day after the cast came off). I was expecting to be down for 2-3 weeks but his work was flawless. I’m about 2 months post-op and love my results already! My confidence has changed dramatically and my only regret is not doing this years ago. I’ve already recommended Dr. Kolenda to 2 of my friends who are considering a rhinoplasty. Would recommend him to anyone thinking about doing a consult!
I started my rhinoplasty journey with Dr. Kolenda when I was 16 years old and have had only positive experiences with him. He is thorough, kind and detail oriented, as is his entire team. He performed a rhinoplasty on me and a revision surgery 7 years later to ensure I had the results I hoped for and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I have felt supported and heard throughout the entire process. He prioritized me feeling confident and happy with my decision and has gone above and beyond the expectations I had coming into this journey. I trust his work completely and would recommend him to anyone, not only for his talent as a surgeon, but also because of his character as a person.
Dr.Kolenda & his wonderful staff provide top knoch service, performance & care! Truly an amazing group. Having had numerous proceedures at once including Face & neck lift, upper & lower blepharoplasty, brow lift & rhinoplasty. I am completely satisfied. Thankyou to all. Xo
This was a big life decision for me. I wanted my physical me to match the youthful adventurous inside self. After extensive research and meeting with several plastic surgeon’s I decided to go with Dr Kolenda. Veronica was the first face of the business I met with. She was very professional yet real. Made me feel at ease. I like that she was able to provide me with real pictures of woman around my age who had opted for the same procedures I was interested in After the initial meeting with Veronica I then met with Dr Kolemda. He was very professional yet down to earth approachable. He listened to my concerns and helped me understand what the outcome would be. I liked what he said was that it will still be you but only a refreshed new you. I felt comfortable in my choice of doctor and his team to help me achieve my results. Jump ahead to surgery date. I’m not going to lie I was extremely nervous. Preop day met with Natalia and Dr Kolenda they managed to put me at ease. Day of surgery I opted for the car pick up service. Driver was great on time and very professional. Had a great conversation that kept my mind off the surgery. Walked into the operating room and met the team who would be looking after me.Laid down and the rest is history. I was prepared for the tight head wrap for the first 24 hours. Couldn’t wait for that to be over. Natalie gentle removed the wrapping my first appointment after surgery. Her and Dr Kolenda checked out his work. Sent home with a new head wrap that I was to wear until my one week appt. I never once felt that I was abandoned. Any question no matter how silly they were an email away. Prompt response time. Wrapping off and now it’s time to recover. Still pretty bruised around my eyes. Not fit for public yet. lol. I can now see me. New and improved. Most impressive to me is the upper lip lift. You would be hard pressed to tell I had the procedure. Great results. Love it. Will continue my journey with you as I progress further in my recovery. Procedures done Blepharoplasty. Upper and lower Lip Lift Lateral Brow Lift Rhytidectomy Bonus was the instructions leading up to during and after sent to your phone was priceless. So far I would highly recommend Dr Kolenda and his tight knit family Excited to see the final results. JMH
Over 2 years ago I began a very thorough investigation into Male facelift procedures, the identification of Cosmetic Surgeons that claimed to perform them and a deep dive into their credentials, references and on-site clinic/staff capabilities. I had on-line exchanges with 9 Doctors/Clinics and had in-person consultations with 6. Eventually it became clear who really specialized in the face and understood the nuances of a male facelift….at least my face…over 60, 12 % body fat…a lot of skin hanging around!! The challenge was to build a level of confidence in their surgical skill…who are you going to hand the scalpel to? The fact that Dr Kolenda is a certified Head and Neck Surgeon told me that he had an advanced level of knowledge, experience and confidence with a scalpel in my area of interest…this is pretty important…combined with demonstrated(pictures, dozens of cases) use of his surgical skills not only in facelifts but also used in the precision and confidence required to do Rhinoplasty. In addition, very important to us was his staff …a well established culture of authenticity, subtle confidence and a clear priority for the patient …felt like we were with qualified, caring and respectful people. I had a full facelift, fat transfer and lower bleph(eyelid) performed. Results have exceeded my expectations…facial symmetry, balance of skin removed-fat added looks perfect. It's relatively early in the recovery process but so far It really is impressive.
As one would expect, anxiety and fear was my first reaction when I met with Dr. K and his team. Every question was answered and my fears were reduced. When the day came to have my surgery, I knew I was in good hands and felt confident that Dr. K and his team had the skills to perform the surgery and give me the best outcome possible. Dr.K had a driver pick me up because driving to the office for a surgery was way to brave for even me. The surgery went well and the outcome made me look 15 years younger. The only regret is that I should have done it sooner. All the facials in the world wouldn’t give me the same results. I am thankful for the guidance , support and after care. The team is first class in every way.
I had a facial surgery with Dr. Kolenda and was very happy with my results and the staff. They are so welcoming and friendly which makes the whole experience easier. When it came to deciding on a facelift I knew I would come back to Dr. Kolenda for my procedure. Everything went smoothly and the recovery was easier than I thought it would be. Post treatment laser has improved my scarring and I’m still continuing with maintenance treatments to optimize my skin going forward.
I have hated my nose since I was 16. My cars always had to be tinted, I would never let someone look at me sideways. Pictures always had to be taken at the right angle. I finally became financially stable that I could afford it. I decided for my 55 birthday I was going to take the plunge and get a rhinoplasty. Updated on 15 Aug 2023: One year post op. The tip is still swollen, off to see Dr Kolenda next week. I may need an injection of steroid. Enjoying my summer driving with the windows down. I would do it all over. It’s totally worth it!
I had read reviews before approaching this clinic. I am so happy that Dr. Kolenda was able to do my procedure as the reviews matched my experience in real life. From day one Dr. Kolenda and his staff have been amazing at answering all my questions. I would highly recommend this place to all my family and friends!
Had my rhinoplasty here with Dr.Kolenda. I had a friend recommend him after spending months researching and through so many consultations, it felt like Dr.Kolenda understood what I was looking for. I'm 2 months post op it looks pretty good so far but I'm still healing! So happy I finally did it so amazed by how sweet the team was and Dr.Kolenda! 10/10 would recommend
Thank you for your question. Usually because these products are acidic if you apply them after a derma roller treatment they will give you a burning sensation and the retinol can burn your skin easier. I would wait 12-24 hours before applying these products. Best of luck, Dr.Kolenda
Thank you for your question. Microneedling is a great way of making your body produce collagen which in turn will improve fine lines and acne scars. Typically for 'at home' treatments the dermaroller is only 1-2 mm deep and is not very painful. Some dermarollers that are used in a medical clinic setting with topical anesthesia can be deeper for a more intense treatment. Best of luck, Dr.Kolenda
Thank you for your question. If you maintain the treatments then the effects that you get from your masseter treatments will be upheld but once you stop the treatments, your muscles will strengthen again and you will go back to a sore jaw & clenching. Best of luck, Dr.Kolenda
Thank you for your questions. I would suggest that if you want to improve and do a pro-active treatment that you look in to microneedling. This treatment will induce collegen production and preserve elasticity. I would not suggest adding any volume or treating lines with botox to your face as you are young and don't need these treatments at this time. Best of luck, Dr.Kolenda
Thank you for your question. It sounds like there were too many units injected but you should clarify with the injector what areas were treated. In my office 21-30 units is standard for treating a frown area (depending on the patient). As for the forehead there are many areas that can be treated to alleviate lines and lift the brows. Unfortunately these effects will need time to wear off on their own. Best of luck, Dr.Kolenda
