5 days PO - Rhinoplasty to address a hump on my nose and drooping tip

I had my rhinoplasty 5 days ago. I went to Dr. H mainly to address a hump on my nose and because the tip drooped a bit, even more so when smiling. I am hoping for the hump to be removed, the droop to be fixed, and for a more defined tip. So far the healing process has been a breeze. I have not had excessive bruising or pain and I did not have a lot of bleeding after the surgery. The biggest pain for this whole process have been my stitches, which only hurt the first few days,

My results were natural and exactly what I wanted

I went to Dr. H in October after visiting other plastic surgeons in the area for a consultation. Dr. H was extremely knowledgeable and personable. I had the surgery in November and not only were the results amazing, but the experience was also wonderful. The day of surgery the staff was extremely sweet and patient with me and answered all of my questions. My results were natural and exactly what I wanted. I have been so pleased with this experience I am returning to get a rhinoplasty

Nicest Most Professional Dr Ever

I am 7 days post op from breast lift with fat transfer and tummy tuck/ Lipo to flanks. Dr Hvistendahl seen me for a consult three years ago but I wasn’t quite ready. I got two other consults to do my due diligence when I knew it was time and it was clear Dr H was the one. I saw him again and he never made me feel like I was wasting his time with a second visit. He even has a machine where he can virtually show you what your boobs might look like! Cool! He really puts you at ease

Excellent experience

Dr. Hvistendahl does an excellent job! His work is very precise! I had a breast lift along with breast augmentation and am very happy with them. He makes you feel comfortable and listens to everything you have to say.

Transconjunctival Lower Bleph with Fat Transfer - Greenbrae, CA

I'm scheduled! I've waited 20+ years to do this. And, of course, now that I've booked it, I'm feeling nervous and scared but also excited. Am I really this vain? Maybe? But after hearing 'you look tired' for so many years when I'm not the least bit tired or seeing pics of that fat under there and airbrushing it out with one app or another, I'm ready! Updated on 4 Oct 2016: I arrived at 7am and wasn't as nervous as I thought I'd be. This is something I've thought about and painstakingly

53 Newly Remarried Wants a Fresh Start - Greenbrae, CA

Dr. Hvistendahl is the most talented plastic surgeon in Marin. Unconcerned with cup size, we agreed that proportion to my frame would be best way to go. Even though one breast was a size larger than the other, he not only artfully created my size, but he made me even. Bruising and recovery were minimal, but I wish I'd known that you feel extremely swollen (like the need to breastfeed) for longer than I'd imagined. The tummy tuck is the hardest recovery for only the first week,

Best Breast Augmentation - Greenbrae, CA

I have never had sizable breast but after having 3 kids and breast-feeding they were non-existent. Dr Hvistendahl was amazing at making me feel comfortable and giving me the right size to allow me to feel confident and comfortable when working out. He is a perfectionist and I am very grateful I had the procedure and went to PSS.

My Best at 46! - Greenbrae, CA

After struggling with weight my entire life, I finally slimmed down at age 45! I was elated and also horrified by the wreck of a stomach left behind- lots of excess and loose skin! No amount of exercise helped, so I had a tummy tuck and fat transferred to my breasts to fill them in and make them more even in size. BEST DECISION EVER! I am so pleased with the outcome and feel the best I have felt in my 46 years!

Mommy of 4-Tummy Tuck with Lipo of the Flanks - Greenbrae, CA

After going to the gym 5 days a week for 2 years, I decieded to meet Dr Hvistendahl. He came highly recommended from my very close girl friends... I was very anxious about having any kind of surgery. Dr H made me feel extreemly comfortable and safe... After my surgery my husband was my nurse and when he had any questions the office staff and Dr's were avaliable and very helpful... I'm 3 months post OP and I'm loving my results! I still have some swelling due to my lipo, but

Breast Augmentation for A to C - San Francisco, CA

I was really concerned with getting a "natural" look ie. no one would know I had implants. I was also extremely active (running, TRX, yoga etc.) and wanted to be able to get back to my activities quickly. I have had two children and has lost all of my breasts after breast feeding both children. However, I did not want to have abnormally large breasts either.
