Overall rating

Growing up I was always very insecure about my flat nose bridge, but I was too fearful of an invasive procedure like a rhinoplasty. After hearing about fillers to enhance and build a nose bridge I knew I had to do my research to find someone locally who I could trust to have this procedure done. Ultimately I knew it was important to chose a surgeon who is board certified and specializes in the face. Being in the medical field myself I had great recommendations from a few colleagues so I knew I was in good hands. With the internet, you come across some horror stories that make you second guess cosmetic fillers but I am so happy I chose to move forward with Dr. Truong. I scheduled a consultation on the phone and asked if it was possible to have the procedure the same day. The office was very accommodating and said no problem! I was scheduled some extra time if I wanted to move forward after my consultation. When I arrived the staff was great! Everyone I encountered was professional and friendly. We went over basic health history and took some before photos. Afterwards I met with Dr. Truong who discussed the pros and cons of different types of fillers that they use. I wanted to enhance and heighten my nose bridge therefore Dr. Truong recommended Radiesse because the results last longer and provide better results for what I was looking for. He asked if I had any questions and we were on our way to a room to have the filler done. His assistant cleaned the area and placed numbing cream on the nose to work it's magic. After everything was numb, Dr. Truong began with the injection. It was pain free and I couldn't feel a thing. My husband was in the room (who is very squeamish with needles BTW) and I couldn't understand his reaction because I did not feel a thing! Dr. Truong checked on me throughout if I was doing okay. About 5 minutes later he was done. I looked in the mirror and was shocked at what a difference it made. It is normal for some swelling to start so I was given ice, post care instructions and was on my way. 0.7 mL in total was used and the remaining was saved for my follow up appointment in case I wanted a touch up during the follow up after the swelling had gone down. Dr. Truong is very conservative which I think it's great because it's better to add if necessary than to take away. When I got home and a few hours had passed the area where the injection was made was still quite swollen and there was a tiny bruise, but after icing off and on for a few more hours the swelling started to diminish. A tiny amount of concealer helped hide the small blemish and there was little to no down time whatsoever, I ended up going about my day as normal. The area was a bit tender to the touch for a few days but as each day passed I was happier and happier with the results. After going in for my follow up I didn't feel any touchup or additional filler was necessary and I must say I am very happy with my results. Dr. Truong informed me Radiesse does begins to break down and I may need a touch up in 6 or 12 months. I would absolutely do this procedure again in a heart beat when the time comes. Overall, I had a great experience in his office and recommend it to anyone that is considering this procedure.
