Nicole Kafka, MD

I decided to tackle my facial scars and aging skin with Fractora. So far I’ve had 3 treatments over a 9 month period. I’ve noticed a deep wrinkle going down my cheek (created by repeated facial expressions) that is now gone. Skin texture has improved. The setting is intimate, which allows for better one on one time to discuss concerns. She spends the time to review options and fully assess your needs.

I received Botox for the first time ever from Dr. Kafka and she was very kind, gentle and knowledgable. My pesky forehead wrinkle went from very deep to barely noticeable and I will definitely be going back in the future.

What a strange and terrible experience - totally botched my lips, and she admitted to an uneven fill. Her office is located inside of a creepy apartment building where she has her entire setup inside of a 5'x 5' room. She injected 1cc of Juvederm almost entirely in my top lip, which came out completely uneven and overfilled. I let the swelling go down for a week, revealing a gaping hole in my lip. I have had injections before, and one week was enough for me to see that things were not healing normally. Although she was very responsive to my calls, and when I came back in for a fix, she tried massaging it (which did nothing), became very rude and impatient when I asked her to dissolve my lips, which she angrily did (without even giving me numbing cream) like i was being punished. She resembled a child having a tantrum, sighing loudly, trying to convince me I looked okay - when I looked totally ridiculous. Luckily after she injected hyaluronidase, my lips started to go down within 2 hours and are almost back to normal - I am still left with a gaping hole in my top lip, which she told me she wouldn't fix because I made the choice to dissolve. Sorry Dr. Kafka I will never come back again.

I have been wanting rhinoplasty since I was a kid, as my bump and length of my nose has always bothered me. This has caused me to absolutely hate my profile in photos and become self conscious about others noticing. I made the decision to seek consultations about 3 months ago and went to 5 doctors to get opinions. I ended up choosing the doctor who made me feel most comfortable and understood exactly what I wanted done.

Not a whole lot of pain today, mostly uncomfortable. I slept a good portion of the day

Starting to feel back to normal. Swelling has gone down in my eyes and feeling slightly less congested. I actually left the house today to visit a friend, at first was a little embarrassed when passing neighbors but quickly owned it and got over that! It was just nice to leave the house and feel some sort of normalcy. I also got through the whole day without feeling exhausted (I've been crashing around 2pm everyday and last night when to bed at 8pm. I'm so eager to get this thing off in 3 days!!

I got my cast off this morning! It was such a relief because it had started getting itchy and irritating. It didn't hurt getting it off, more of a quick soreness. But boy is it sore now! I can't stop touching the slow (no more bump!!) and doing the compression exercises as there is quite a bit of swelling at the tip. But I can already tell I love it and am so happy with the results!! Here's some comparison pics.
