"After losing almost a hundred pounds, I was left with extremely loose, sagging skin, and after consulting with three plastic surgeons, I decided to go with Dr. Halka. He is exceptionally kind and patient with all my questions and concerns, and I am so happy I chose him as my surgeon. He did my brachioplasty (arm lift) and breast lift 7 weeks ago, and I am thrilled with my results. My scars look fantastic, and I honestly can’t believe how wonderfully everything is healing. I’ve had zero problems or complications. Dr. Halka will be performing my next two surgeries, a lower body lift and a thigh lift, in the coming months, and I have no worries about my care and comfort in his hands. The nurses and staff at Hedden and Gunn have also all been extremely helpful and friendly. As nervous as I was to start this journey of skin removal and reconstruction, Dr. Halka and the entire H&G team have made it as easy and painless as it could be, and I am so grateful."
"Excellent Surgeon; Excellent Results - Dr. Halka did an outstanding job replacing my 15-year-old saline breast implants. I researched extensively before selecting a surgeon. I was dealing with one of the 15-year-old implants having suddenly ruptured and deflated. I was concerned that this might cause complications and less-than-ideal results with the replacement; therefore, I wanted an exceptionally-skilled surgeon. I considered surgeons in Huntsville, Nashville, and Birmingham. After my consultation with Dr. Halka, I was confident that he was the right choice. It was clear to me that he had the knowledge, skill, and experience I was seeking in a surgeon. My impression was right! He did a great job. He replaced both implants (submuscular, saline, inframammary incision); and, the results exceeded my expectations! I’m six-weeks post op, and the scars are healing beautifully. Due to my age (60), I did not expect my results to be excellent. So, I am very happy to say that, because of an outstanding surgeon, the results are truly excellent. I highly recommend Dr. Halka."
"Meticulously re-designed my body to the best I feel it can be! - I am a massive bariatric weight loss surgery patient. I’ve lost 158 lbs! I exercised the entire time during my journey but was left with flapping skin on my arms, and massive excessive skin everywhere. I interviewed surgeons, and Dr. Halka was my chosen surgeon and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. He was ‘The One!”. He is kind, beyond intelligent, personable, humble yet confident, and was excited to help me! He won me over from his first handshake! I had him fix my drooping saggy arms in November, 2022. My results were so great that I returned a few months later in April, 2023 to Dr. Halka who performed my bilateral thigh lift, Tummy Tuck with Muscle Repair, and circumferential body lift! He removed almost 12 lbs of sagging, loose skin. He meticulously re-designed my body to the best I feel it can be! What skill! My tummy is flat (it has been literally decades since I’ve had a flat tummy) and my belly button is adorable! My scars are beautiful, thin and even! I am 52 years old and I truly have never felt or looked better! I have been blessed to have found him! I highly recommend this terrific surgeon! He listened to every concern and answered every question. I never felt rushed or unheard. He checked on me post-surgery in recovery to make sure all was ok! He kept me close in follow up post-surgery visits to make sure I was healing properly. He’s the Best! I thought losing the weight was the best part, not knowing the skin removal surgeries would ‘complete’ me and finish my journey. I am forever grateful for him, and to him!"
