My surgery went without a hiccup and my nose turned out beautifully
Dr. Kolstad is amazing!! Being middle eastern my nose always had a large bump that drove me nuts. I hated the way it looked in pictures and dreaded any pictures of my side profile. Living with such a bothersome insecurity really took a toll. I finally decided to fix the issue and was recommended by numerous people that Dr. Kolstad is the best doctor to go to. I completely see why! He’s incredibly knowledgeable and very caring to client needs. My surgery went without a hiccup and

Thankful for giving me the confidence I’ve always deserved
I was extremely insecure about my facial structure and recording chin. I practically had no visible bone structure until I received my chin implant at Dr. Kolstad’s office! His expertise and genuine kindness was extremely refreshing. Dr. Kolstad’s entire staff was also very helpful and patient throughout the entire process, which I greatly appreciated. I was worried going into this surgery that complications might arise. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how smooth my recovery
