Summer 2007

Victoria

I am 55 years old and, over time, my face had developed a “tired look.”  I am in a business where image is important. I wanted my face back.    

In recent years, I’ve seen and received injections from several doctors. But I wasn’t always happy with the results.  Eventually, I went to see Dr. Ridenour because he’d given a friend of mine a facelift several years ago, and I’d heard he was a very, very good plastic surgeon.  He first gave me injections, and I was very pleased. 

When I later decided it was time for a facelift, I met with Dr. Ridenour again and saw more examples of his work.  I’m very particular.  When you’re putting your face into someone’s hands, you want someone with high, uncompromising standards.  From the moment I walked in the door, I knew I was in the right place.  I was comfortable with him and the entire office staff.  

The facelift experience itself was very good, from start to finish.  And the results have been everything I thought they would be. I have always had distinct cheek bones, and they’re back.  The procedure also got rid of the sagginess around and underneath my jaw line.  I no longer look tired.

I was also surprised to find that I was never in any pain – ever – during the recovery process.  I popped right back.  Within a couple of weeks, I was feeling very well and ready to go back to work.

Dr. Ridenour is everything you want in a plastic surgeon – he’s highly professional, a skilled surgeon and, with his work, a perfectionist.  From me, there is no higher compliment.
