Always a pleasure to go to Dr. Truesdale's office! The entire staff is helpful, warm and welcoming. I visit the office for Jeuveau for my forehead and crows feet. I love their injector, Shauna, she is fantastic and I appreciate that she is continuously honing her skills not only with injectables but laser treatment. I wish I could have a "Truesdale" face lift but it's nice to be treated by a well trained PA like Shauna to expertly inject me and give me advice on future treatments.

My consultation with Shauna was highly informative. She clearly explained the procedures and costs for both options. I am traveling out of state because Dr. Truedale is a world-renowned physician who has rightfully earned his reputation. I have full confidence in him and his staff’s expertise in achieving the results their patients seek.

I Can’t Believe I Got A Facelift

I recently had a facelift, neck lift, upper and lower blepharoplasty, and a lip lift with Dr. Truesdale, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. Before surgery, I felt like my appearance didn’t reflect how I felt on the inside—I always looked tired and worn out, even when I wasn’t. It really affected how I saw myself. After my procedures, I finally feel like I look the way I feel. I look refreshed, natural, and like a better version of myself. The results are beautiful and not overdone at all. I feel pretty again, which is something I hadn’t felt in a long time, and that means everything to me. Dr. Truesdale is incredibly talented and made me feel comfortable trusting the process. I’m so grateful I chose him. If you’re considering facial surgery and want natural-looking results that truly enhance your appearance, I highly recommend him. This experience has been life-changing for me in the best way.

Dr. Truesdale is the GOAT!!!

Where to begin? From my first call with the patient care coordinator (Jessica), to my initial consultation, and now being three months post-op, I've had the most phenomenal experience. I will say I only stalked Dr. T's IG page for a short time after I made the decision to have the surgery but let me tell you...I watched one of his before and after videos, and I was SOLD! I knew he was going to be the one I trusted with my face. First off, he is so nice, so down to earth, and beyond talented! Second, his staff is amazing! All the ladies that work for him are welcoming, knowledgeable, and super helpful. From the consult, Cleo getting me ready for my surgery date, the wonderful care from Nurse Rachael and PA Shauna, and sweet little Adi, his social media manager, who feels like your personal hype girl, and everything else associated with my procedure, they were available to me for any concerns or questions I had. Even his overnight care nurse, Lizeth, was an absolute doll, and took such great care of me following my procedure. Now for the good stuff. The surgery! I had a deep plane neck and facelift, a skin pinch under my eyes, and fat transfer. I don't know how it's possible, but I experienced almost zero pain in the days that followed. I will say, and this is common knowledge, the first week you do look kind of scary and swollen, but you HAVE to trust the process, because one week later, you look so much better, and you can see how good you're going to end up looking. I returned to work about three weeks after and no one was none the wiser. Actually, I take that back, because people were asking me if I had lost weight, if I got filler, if I had a facial... basically I looked refreshed but natural so no one thought I had any major work done. This is the perfect way to describe Dr. Truesdale's style. You look refreshed and youthful, but not fake or stretched. I don't think I could be any happier with my results and my overall experience, and since I'm just a few months out, I know my results are going to be even better in time. I'm so glad I did this for myself. Thank God for the talented Dr. Truesdale! He is elite! 

Dr. Truesdale is the most caring doctor I've ever met. He treated me like a family member and made me feel sooo relaxed before my procedure. He listens intently to what I'm saying and provides answers that anyone can understand. Connecting with a patient is priceless and I appreciate that so much!

My experience with Dr. Truesdale was nothing less than marvelous. He performed a full facial lift on me. His pre-surgery introduction to my husband and I was very cordial. He answered all questions we both had of him. His style and demeanor gave us comfort and security. This applies to his staff as well, every step of the way. Dr. Truesdale truly gave us the level confidence we needed to proceed. I'm very happy regarding the outcome. It's exactly what I dreamed about for years. My post surgery experience has mimicked the pre-surgery. My follow-up schedule has been assuring and always on time. I'm also pleased with Dr. Truesdale's products. Matter of fact that's all I have on my dresser. Thus, I feel very grateful and I know God was in this all the way.

Magic Hands

Dr. Tuesdale was very professional and attentive. I went to him for a deep plane face and neck lift and I am very happy with the results. His hands are absolute magic and I will be returning to him for a revision of upper bleph that was done elsewhere.

Simply Perfection

My experience with Dr. Truesdale and his team has been nothing short of gracious. My journey began after speaking with Maria and doing my research. The one-on-one consultation with Dr. Truesdale was incredibly personal—he made me feel secure, knowing that my needs and the best possible outcome were his top priorities. On the day of surgery, I was both excited and nervous. I tried to quiet my mind, but thoughts raced through my head—What if something goes wrong? What if he has an off day and I don’t get his best work? My anxiety grew, but as I began to pray, a wave of calm washed over me. Dr. Truesdale walked me through the entire process, but what stood out most was his extraordinary attention to detail. Just as he was about to leave the room, he paused, took one last look at me, and questioned his markings. With a smile, he pointed out that one side of my lip was slightly higher than the other. That moment reassured me—I knew I was in the hands of a true perfectionist. When I woke up from surgery, I couldn’t help but laugh—I looked like Gazoo with my head wrapped in layers of gauze! I was blessed to have Alex as my overnight nurse. She was patient, kind, and incredibly attentive—truly heaven-sent. The next morning, I returned to Dr. Truesdale’s office to have the gauze removed and see my 24-hour results. I was so overwhelmed with emotion that I couldn’t speak. The sagging jowls and tired eyes that had haunted me were gone. Now, three days post-op, I haven’t experienced any pain—only tightness in my skin and tingling as my body heals. The entire staff has been amazing and so kind. Cleo, the surgical scheduler, and Maria have made this entire process so much easier to navigate. As I continue to recover and follow the guidelines (even when resisting the urge to bend down feels challenging), I am trusting the process. Dr. Truesdale is simply the best—he is the real GOAT! I am beyond grateful to him and his team for giving me the confidence to invest in myself.

Dr. Truesdale is incredibly talented. I had a revision deep plane facelift. Dr. Truesdale has a magical touch and my incisions were so delicately done that they don’t show. He is so meticulous and makes sure you have a natural look, never the pulled, stretchy look. After the surgery I had NO pain and never took pain meds. I also had virtually no swelling!! He is an artist!!
