Some time ago I became very aware of my nose. How it was big and how it turned to the right. When I was younger I ran into a pole and died of embarrassment. I am certain that I broke it, but it was only swollen, but only a little crooked. Over time it became worse and so did the comments. I would try to push it straight sometimes. At least it would only be big then. I met with my family doctor during a regular visit and I asked him about having my nose fixed. He recommended me to Dr. Ridgway as he had heard good things about him. I read the reviews online, checked his credentials (you can't be too carful these days! BOTCHED is on TV for a reason) and then made an appointment. I would have to say that the reviews about him were right. He is a nice, caring, intelligent and talented doctor and an artist - that is what made the difference for me. I never felt rushed in any of our meetings and he was always detailed in his explanations. As far as my nose - I could not be happier! I never wanted to have surgery, but knowing what I know now I wish I had done it earlier. I feel like a huge weigh was lifted off of me AND I can breath! I am so grateful to have all of me back. Great doctor, great surgeon, great person.
