So, now that you've read about cosmetic surgery--and all the procedures--and you've pinpointed the one you're interested in, how do you make the final decision?
 "Go with your gut feeling," says a patient, "but make sure you choose a doctor you feel comfortable with, one who is great at the procedure you want, and one who has excellent 'before' and 'after' photos of former patients. Remember that all doctors are not equal! Some (like Dr. Kridel) are much better than others."
Most people agree, after having cosmetic surgery, that they turned the decision-making process into "a huge ogre" that it really didn't have to be. Friends and family love to give advice about being egotistical or saving your money for something practical, but remember--they aren't the ones who have to live with a nose they have always hated--or an aging face.
Really, it's fairly simple. When you have cosmetic surgery, you're buying something that is of value to you, personally or professionally (or both), and you have that right.
"Improving my self-image with cosmetic surgery was the best money I ever spent," says one patient of Dr. Kridel's. "I only wish I'd had it done years earlier."
Of her choice of surgeons, she says what most people observe about Dr. Kridel: "He's a dyed-in-the-wool perfectionist, and who else would you want working on your face? I love my 'new nose' and my more youthful face, and I have him to thank for that!"
