I have read several horror stories on Real Self...

I have read several horror stories on Real Self and have seen so many over-the-top cosmetic surgeries in the news that I took my time to find a doctor who I believed I could trust. I believe finding a capable doctor is the most important first step in this journey. My surgery and recovery were pretty uneventful. My doctor explained the procedures thoroughly and when I woke up from surgery, was surprised to feel no pain. There really never was any...only uncomfortableness. I was surprised that even the removal of stitches a week after the surgery honestly did not hurt. The most irritating thing has been the swelling the first few weeks and numbness which can last for months, but has been a small price to pay for the results I have. I love that I look my age; just a fresher version of me!

I found Dr. Brock Ridenour through Real Self. After reading his credentials and the initial visit with he and his knowledgeable staff, I felt confident that he could give me the results I was hoping for... a natural look without the droopy eyes, double chin and saggy neck. He explained that although we can exercise to keep our bodies younger and healthier, that there is little we can do on our own to change what time does to our face. He thoroughly explained the different options available to me and in no way pushed one over the other. Rather than more frequent and continual appointments with fillers, which would have cost considerably less, I chose surgery on my upper eyelids, my neck and jowels as well as rhinoplasty. My nose was uneven at the tip and as I aged, seemed to grow more disproportionately. My goal was never to look 20 again, rather to just look like a fresher 48 year old. I cannot think of one thing during this experience that I would change. Dr. Ridenour is a man of expertise and integrity. He seems to understand that cosmetic surgery is such a highly visible and personal thing that he takes great care and time with each patient to achieve excellent, natural looking results. His office and surgical staff compliment him as well. He has chosen them well, and not only are they professional but friendly and "real" themselves. I can recommend Dr. Ridenour without reservation and wholeheartedly to anyone considering cosmetic surgery!
