1 Year Follow-up & even happier with my decision.
WORTH IT$6,500
Attended my 1 year follow up today... Even after 6 months the staff greeted me by name, with big smiles & were excited to see my results! They are so personable! They remembered where I worked & were genuinely curious about how my life had been for the last 6 months. It was like a mini-reunion :) It's crazy to think it's already been a year. Sometimes I forget I even got my nose done because it looks & feels so natural to me. Even some of my friends that I haven't seen in years didn't even notice when I went to visit. I LOVE the fact that I still look like myself! As you can see from my pictures, the change is quite dramatic with a side by side comparison... Yet, still subtle enough that it's not obvious to those around me. Functionally, the nose is perfect. Airway is nice & patent, I blow it like normal without feeling like it might fall off & I've even been hit in the nose a few times (by my dog) without any disruption.
My only VERY minor complaint (because I can't come up with anything more substantial) is my slightly elevated dorsal hump. I was told that I would "feel" flaws in my nose more than I would "see" them... Which is true. It feels like my dorsal hump is still a bit 'humpy'... But after reviewing my before & after pictures I can barely notice even with a critical eye. I discussed this with Dr. Ridenour, he informed me there is always an option to shave it down a little more. However, this comes with risks of disrupting the skin, altering my already near perfect results & the chance of developing a ski-slope (which I made VERY clear upfront I DID NOT want). I'm going to give it some more time... But I think I'll leave the very minor flaw. If anything, it just makes it look more natural on me, which I kind of like :)
SOO SOO HAPPY WITH MY RESULTS! See for yourself by reviewing my year progress.
Dr. Ridenour has my highest recommendations! I have no complaints about my entire journey with him & his staff. If you're looking for a talented facial plastic surgeon, with competitive prices & professional/ friendly staff this is the place for you! $6500 well spent!
