Top Ten List - Why Dr. Kridel Should Do Your Nose Surgery
 
  1. He's great at what he does.
    Russell Kridel, M.D., is known worldwide as one of the best facial plastic surgeons, and when it comes to nose surgery, you can benefit from his quintessential expertise. Even his peers acknowledge that he is a premier nose surgeon--a fact evidenced by hundreds of requests for lectures, presentations, panel participation, and media interviews . Many procedures Dr. Kridel has created are taught to residents who are learning facial plastic surgery. But, most importantly, patients rave about how they love the work he has done. That is the true mark of a great surgeon.
  2. He's the doctor's doctor.
    When doctors have their noses done, or a member of their family goes in for nose surgery, Dr. Kridel is their choice. They know the inside scoop on who's the best, and they go to see Dr. Kridel.
  3. You want a star to do your nose surgery.
    Dr. Kridel is so highly esteemed in his profession that his peers elected him president of their national academy. That was the culmination of a profession spent teaching and sharing the knowledge he has gained, while becoming a huge star in the galaxy of facial plastic surgeons nationwide. For many years, he worked to carve his special niche as a noted author and highly respected expert on the area of nasal surgery. Dr. Kridel is widely published in rhinoplasty, and he continues to be on the faculty of advanced rhinoplasty courses.
  4. You want to keep it real.
    Dr. Kridel has an excellent way of communicating with patients so that he can determine whether you're a good candidate for rhinoplasty--and if you have realistic expectations.
  5. You don't want your nose to look like Michael Jackson's.
    That's easy. And you can be sure that won't happen to you if Dr. Kridel is doing your surgery. He will only do work that results in pleasing aesthetics.
  6. You want a nose that looks natural and normal, not "done."
    The mark of a true artist of nasal surgery is that he can do surgery on your nose and do so meticulously and artistically, yet the final result looks like you were born with it. Some plastic surgeons do the same nose for every patient--kind of a one-size-fits-all approach. It's the one they know how to do, so it's the one they give every patient. However, the best-case scenario is a customized nose--one that looks best on YOU, addresses YOUR concerns, and enables you to walk away with a nose that suits you and your expectations, breathes well and looks good.
  7. You have the money, but you don't want to pay through the nose.
    Nose surgery isn't cheap, but the key thing to remember is: You get what you pay for. Having surgery by a doctor who's known as Absolutely The Best may cost more than having surgery by an unknown, unproven plastic surgeon. All surgeons are not equal, and the results they turn out are not equal, either. Dr. Kridel has done thousands of noses and has the benefit of a huge background of experience and knowledge, combined with a cutting-edge attitude that keeps him abreast of everything that's going on in plastic surgery's ever-changing realm.
  8. You want a leader in the art of nose surgery.
    For a number of years, Dr. Kridel has taught facial plastic surgeons as an annual mentor for a Fellow (someone who is already a surgeon and is training with Dr. Kridel to have the chance to observe his excellent techniques). Dr. Kridel is widely acclaimed for his work in refining the art of rhinoplasty, and he is one of only a few doctors in Texas who get numerous referrals for rhinoplasty revisions (repairs and/or improvements on previous nose surgeries done by other doctors that disappointed patients).
  9. Dr. Kridel will give you a sneak preview.
    During your visit to the office, Dr. Kridel will ask you to express your concerns about your nose. Do you want it to be smaller? Narrower? Wider? Get rid of the hump? Make your crooked nose straighter? After he has heard your preferences, Dr. Kridel will share with you the procedure he thinks will best achieve what you want. Then, in the imaging room, your face will be reflected on a computer screen so that he can alter the image to show you the visual goal he will work toward in the operating room. He will explain how it all works; you can ask questions; you can tell him what you think makes a nose attractive.
  10. If your nose isn't becoming to you, you should be coming to us!
    It's the byword of Facial Plastic Surgery Associates, and it's a fact. If your nose has always bothered you (large, crooked, unattractive, strange, hard-to-breathe), do something nice for yourself--and get the problem corrected. You live with your nose for a long time; it's really great when you like the feature that's smack in the middle of your face.
