Life changing difference
I searched for a long time for someone to do a thigh lift. I had lost a significant amount of weight and wanted my thighs to look…better. I had no expectations of being model perfect but just better was good enough for me! I emailed Dr. Halka and he responded! I had emailed numerous other Doctors but no responses except from Dr. Halka. I made my appointment and paid for surgery and in J...
2 days Post Breast Augmentation
I'm on day 2 of recovery from my breast augmentation. It's honestly not as bad as I thought it would be. The only parts that suck are feeling like potato( you literally can't do anything), and that the muscle relaxers make you super sleepy. Stopped taking the pain meds i was prescribed and switched to Tylenol because I didn't like the way Norcos made me feel. My chest feels sore and tight and...
Amazing LBL with MR and Fat Transfer to Buttocks
After 4 babies and a weight loss of 80lbs, finally decided it was time to get rid of some skin. Went in thinking mommy makeover. Dr Halka told me he didn’t think the tummy tuck results would make me happy and recommended the lower body lift. I was concerned about it flattening out my butt so he also suggested the fat transfer. I could not be more pleased with the results. I cried the first t...
I Am So Please with the Outcome!
I am seven weeks out from breast lift surgery performed by Dr. Halka and I am beyond pleased. From the beginning, Dr. Halka made me feel comfortable. He always had time to answer all my questions. Before surgery, my neck and shoulders were constantly sore. Since the surgery, the pain is gone. The pain after surgery was minimal I am healing faster than I thought I would. The only question...
A Whole New Me!
What a life-changing experience with Dr. Halka! As a 45-year-old woman, wife, and mother, I finally realized that taking care of myself IS taking care of my family. I decided to put myself and my health first for a change and set a goal to lose the excess weight I've been carrying around my entire life. With bariatric surgery, a complete lifestyle change to a low-carb diet, and 4-6 intense 5...

A: There are a number of options for neck tightening, many of which you mentioned, such as kybella, coolsculpting, body tite, and some others, but the tried and true best way to do it is via liposuction. This will remove the majority of the excess fat and get your neck as tight as possible with given one’s anatomy.
Lipo is the best “one and done” option to address your neck. We usually charge about 4800 for neck liposuction so it would be within your budget.
Hope this helps!
A: If you had cryotherapy to remove lesions on your face it will behave like a scar. Wound healing can take 1-2 years to fully mature and reach the color which it will stay for some time. You are near the worst time for wound color, my experience has been that usually between 1-3 months people have the most "redness" of their wounds and it gets better from there.
Give it time.
A: Hyper-coagulability disorders are more of a concern after having a procedure which could increase your risk of a blood clot in your leg such as a tummy tuck. Procedures like botox injection don't increase your risk of blood clots so you should be able to safely have the injections done like anyone else!
Hope this helps!

A: If you had your masseters injected, it is a known side effect that they can become smaller when they are less active. If you remove the volume of the masseter it can cause wrinkles and/or sagging in other areas of your face. Additionally, if your cheek being caved in is where it looks like you have dimples in one of the pictures, it may be possible that the botox also affected the buccinator muscle (people who have dimples have them in the buccinator muscle). Give the botox time to wear off and your muscles to regenerate.
Hope this helps!

A: They have you smile so they can get a better idea of exactly where the bands are. There us no issue with injecting while you are smiling or while you have a neutral expression.
Hope his helps!
