Well, we can do something about the density of the atmosphere once the Xavier sats are in place. The Martian atmosphere's thinner than it should be right now because the solar wind is stripping it away and it has no mag field to protect it. Of course even with the Xavier sats we're dealing with a place that's got a gravitational pull of about 0.38G so its unlikely we'll ever get an atmosphere exactly like Earth's.
Having something like trapar to help hold in gases and increase the surface pressure would be useful, especially if something can be done to it for UV filtering as Bob suggested.
As to whether or not the towers of Helium stick out of it, that just means they'd have to be sealed. And they'd have to be very tall for that to happen anyway. The Martian atmosphere currently has a scale height of about 10.8 km, compared to Earth's 6km.

Unlike other cuisines, the Finnish one is most distinguishable by the
fact that none of the major traditional dishes have anything you could
remotely call flavo(u)r, and pretty much the only spice is salt.
