I had been looking to get this procedure done for...
Additionally, in choosing someone that only specializes in facial plastic surgery, prevents any regrets, think about it you don't go to an ophtamologist for OB/GYN issues. It's crucial you choose someone that has done these procedures over and over again, this is what makes the doctor skilled at their craft.
I am 6 weeks post-op and I'm incredibly happy with my results and I know it takes almost a year to see final results for rhinoplasty. The surgery went as expected, I fortunately had little bruising, I think the Arnica Montana pills and gel really helped. The first week is just uncomfortable which is expected since you can't breathe through your nose and have to sleep upright, I highly suggest those airplane pillows for your neck! The saline spray did not really do anything really so after I got my splints taken off I used the neti pot which made a night/day difference.
The blepharoplasty was the best decisions I've ever made, I am 28 yrs old and had suffered from congenital bags under my eyes and makeup did nothing to hide them! People constantly asked me if I was tired, if I got enough sleep.... etc., I was so self conscious I would never take my eyeglasses off and at times I would not go outside during the day since I felt they were more noticeable at that time of day. The transconjuctival procedure was painless, no discomfort, nada! After I woke I felt as if nothing was done inside my eyes. Having lower blepharoplasty is for anyone that is suffering congenital eyebags, all those miracle creams that claim to erase bags will do NOTHING, I've spent $$$$ in creams prior the procedure and always felt disappointed, save your money and schedule a consultation and see if blepharoplasty is right for you! Now my face looks refreshed and nobody has asked me if I'm tired since. I'm so HAPPPPY!
Provider Review
After researching many facial plastic surgeons over the past couple years no one made me feel as comfortable like Dr. Kolstad did. His professionalism and his genuineness was beyond I had ever expected. He was very upfront and honest on what I would best fit the contours of my face to maintain my natural look but softened them. He advised me that all the other procedures other surgeons recommended were not needed to achieve the look that I wanted, this is the sincerity I had been looking for all along. After having my surgery (rhinoplasty and lower blepharoplasty) he made me feel like his only patient, he personally called me the next day to follow up on how I was doing, him and Jaina were reachable even during non business hours which made me feel even more special. Jaina is his patient coordinator and she is doll, so sweet and genuine as well, they perfectly compliment eachother. She was very quick to answer any questions I had and relieved some of my anxieties the days nearing up the surgery. They are both truly AMAZING!! I am 6 weeks post-op and my results are already INCREDIBLE, my changes are subtle but have overall enhanced my features. For someone who possesses all of these qualities and is incredibly talented and skilled, Dr. Kolstad remains humble and non self-absorbed. From the first time I met Dr. Kolstad I felt sure of his expert capabilities and I knew I was in great hands!
