Dr. Russell Kridel is Truly an Exceptional Surgeon—- a Perfectionist in a Good Way!

Dr. Russell Kridel is truly an exceptional surgeon—a perfectionist in the best way. I had a severely deviated septum that had gone untreated for decades because I was too nervous to undergo surgery. In August 2023, I finally had a sinuplasty and rhinoplasty performed by Dr. Kridel, and I can confidently say it changed my life. For the first time ever, I can breathe clearly—and I haven’t had a single earache since, thanks to my now-open airways and straightened septum. Because

I Was Looking for Technical Excellence for Revision Rhinoplasty

Excellent. I had a rhinoplasty for a bony bump 40 years ago. It was better but the tip, which I thought was fine before looked unnatural. Fearful of ending up mangled, I just lived with it. I finally went to Dr. Reidel for revision 2 years ago. He reconstructed the tip with donor cartlilage and it came out fabulous looking, as if it had been there all along, very natural. Not only that, but because of life long allergies, I never had been able to breath through my nose.

I can tell that my nose will look better than the computer imaging

I had rhinoplasty surgery on Nov 23 2021. Dr Kridel and his staff provided me with five star care from start to finish. Choosing a surgeon was a daunting task so I’m writing this review to reassure those considering Dr Kridel in Houston. He is a true professional and an expert in his field. You will not be disappointed. The whole medical team on the day of surgery made me feel at ease and I was so nervous something would go wrong.The anesthesiologist explained everything to me

Life-changing Experience

Life-changing. That is how I would describe my experience with Dr Kridel. He is the sweetest man. A true gentleman. Listens to everything you want and just wants to make you happy! It’s clear he is not primarily motivated by money. Also he is known worldwide for his techniques which he prioneered and teaches to other surgeons. Don’t let his low amount of reviews fool you. Most people who can afford him don’t review for privacy reasons because of their social status. A lot of his

Great browlift results!

I'm thrilled; it's even better than I expected! The results are subtle to everyone else, but make a big difference to me (which I think is what most people want from plastic surgery)! The doctor(s) and staff were incredibly friendly, thorough, and caring. I would highly recommend this office to anyone thinking of having a facial cosmetic procedure!

OUTSTANDING rhinoplasty surgeon

Dr. Kridel is as good as it gets when it comes to rhinoplasty surgery. There are only a handful of true "masters" of the craft who are held in highest esteem by their peers (including myself) worldwide. You will not find a better surgeon anywhere.

He made my nose look beautiful - no regrets here

I had an open rhinoplasty done by Dr. Kridel and was extremely happy with the outcome. He was a tad more expensive than some of the other doctors I consulted with, however his years of experience and his knowledge made me know I was in great hands. I didn't want to penny pinch when it came to altering something smack in the middle of my face. I can honestly say that he was worth every penny and he made my nose look beautiful. The whole process from scheduling consultation &

I Did Not my Nose Features and How I Looked in Pictures - Houston, TX

I was always insecure about my nose. I hated taking pictures because my nose would be the only thing I would notice. So after I graduated high school, I decided that I should get surgery. I'm so glad I found Dr. Kridel, him and his staff were always there for me. I highly, highly, highly recommend this doctor. The outcome was great. Better than what I expected. It was worth every penny.

Alway Wanted a Chin!!! Houston, TX

I became a grandmother at age 59! Elated and always wanting pictures with my little ones I noticed how much I hated my neckline ( no chin). I have always been so self conscious of my neckline and with age gravity had won. Two year ago when my mother passed away I think the stress and bit of depression added to the aged look! ! I'm a very active 61 year old and feel so much younger than I was looking! Talking with my daughter in law one day she mentioned my son had wished

Breathe Easier and Look Better - Houston, TX

I am glad I had the procedure. Initially, I was just looking to improve my appearance, but when I called the Doctor, they started asking questions about my breathing. I had broken my nose about 25 years prior and had surgery to repair my nose. Over the last 10 or 15 years, I have had increasing difficulty breathing through my nose. I was evaluated and told that they could improve my breathing and the appearance of my nose. It is so much easier to sleep at night now that I can
