I have not liked my nose since high school, so as you would imagine, it has bothered me for YEARS! However, I did not seriously consider a procedure until after my daughter had her own Rhinoplasty by Dr. Brock Ridenour. She was also unhappy with the appearance of her nose and she did a TON of research on doctors in the area. Dr. Ridenour was the only doctor she found that was performing a procedure on the nose by using injectable filler. My daughter pursued this type of treatment for a period of time, then eventually decided to move forward with the actually Rhinoplasty procedure. Of course she chose Dr. Ridenour to do her Rhinoplasty as she had already trusted him with her care. She was extremely happy with her surgical results so I chose to have the procedure myself with Dr. Ridenour. We had a great experience with him treating my daughter.
At my consultation, he spent a lot of time with me, showed me before and after photos of his own Rhinoplasty patients and really explained what to expect before, during and after the procedure. He also put together some images for me to demonstrate what type of result he hoped to achieve with my surgery. I was thrilled with the images and even remember saying out loud, “Really, you can do that?!?” Well, he really did!! I am so happy with my results!
After my procedure, I remember bruising a bit, but I was not surprised by this because I tend to bruise very easily. I wasn’t nervous going into my procedure or during my recovery because I felt very well-informed and knew what to expect. I also felt that Dr. Ridenour had a great beside manner.
I am very pleased with everything about my experience! In addition to Dr. Ridenour, the nurses and entire staff are awesome. They are very nice and caring. It is also important to note that the Ridenour office is beautiful and very clean.
The cost of my procedure was definitely worth the outcome! I have whole-heartedly recommended Dr. Ridenour to others and even have another family member seeing him for a procedure.
