Dr. Riedler is a pro! She and her staff treated me with great respect and kindness as they went about the tasks of repairing my earlobes and re-piercing them for new earrings. The atmosphere in the office is one of congeniality and friendliness. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Riedler and all those around her. My new earrings are great; they don't fall out of overstretched holes. I will enjoy the results of Dr. Riedler's work for the rest of my days.*
I can't recommend Dr. Riedler enough for the outstanding care she provided for my face! After a disappointing experience with another provider, she skillfully fixed the damage and delivered amazing results. Despite my tendency to bruise easily, I was pleasantly surprised by the minimal bruising after the procedure. Dr. Riedler's attention to detail ensured perfect symmetry, and her patience and kindness throughout the process made me feel at ease. I was hesitant about hyaluronidase after all the negative reviews and experiences I’ve read about. But Dr. Reidler genuinely listened to my concerns and validated them, which was so reassuring. Dr. Riedler took the time to understand my needs and worked diligently to achieve the best possible outcome. I underwent filler dissolution to correct previous work that left me looking puffy and unnatural, and she refilled my cheeks and tear trough flawlessly. The results were beyond my expectations, and I couldn't be happier with my rejuvenated appearance. If you're looking for a highly skilled and compassionate doctor who prioritizes patient satisfaction, Dr. Riedler is the one to trust. Her expertise and dedication truly set her apart, and I am incredibly grateful for the positive impact she's had on my life. Thank you, Dr. Riedler!
The recovery time for eyelid surgery can vary depending on the extent of the procedure, whether additional procedures are done at the same time, and individual healing factors. In general, I recommend taking 2 weeks off of work to be conservative, but most people will be able to return to work and normal activities within 7-10 days. Exercise and strenuous activities should be avoided for about 3 weeks.
It is normal to have bruising and swelling for the first 1-2 weeks, which gradually subsides. While patients are generally pleased with their results at their one-month visit, full healing and final results take several months to a year. Scars will continue to fade over time, and the final outcome of the surgery becomes more apparent as swelling completely resolves.
You can get natural-looking rhinoplasty results by choosing the right surgeon and communicating your goals with your surgeon. Reviewing the surgeon’s before and after photos can give you an idea of whether she can produce natural-looking results. During the consultation, communicating your goals will let the surgeon know what you’re looking for and whether they can achieve it. I personally make morphs or simulated photos of the patient during the consultation. This is a valuable communication tool that allows me and the patient to see if I understand their goals and can achieve what they’re looking for.
A well-executed facelift generally can make you look 5-10 years younger. The results and duration depend on multiple factors including your age, unique anatomy, and the surgeon’s technique. The results of a facelift won’t disappear over time, but you will continue to age. In other words, a facelift will turn back the clock, but won’t stop the clock. Ten or even twenty years after surgery, you will show less facial aging than if you had never had a facelift. You can help maintain your results by avoiding sun exposure and smoking, following a good skincare regimen, and nonsurgical treatments like Botox and skin resurfacing.
