Saw Dr. Truesdale for my rhinoplasty and he was phenomenal....very caring and helped me to dial back my desires to make sure that I achieved a natural outcome. Reasonable prices and very skilled surgeon...highly recommend.

Hello,
On June 25, 2010, I had breast argumentation (475cc) and abdominal liposuction around my mid-section. Prior to this surgery, my husband and I met with Dr. Gerald Truesdale for a consultation. During this consultation, we discussed what I wanted to achieve by the augmentation. At that time I voiced one of my greatest concerns which were the best method for not leaving scars on my breasts. This was because I was greatly concerned about the possibility of keloids. I was also concerned about recovery time (I wanted to be completely recovered by my birthday on July 18) and having a very natural look. I told Dr. Truesdale that if I had to be cut on my breasts then I did not want the implants. Upon examination, Dr. Truesdale said that I would not need a breast lift because it was his opinion that my breasts would line up after the implants were in place. We were told that there were several ways the implants could be put in place. I asked about going under the armpit to prevent the possibility of scaring on my breasts. Dr. Truesdale confirmed that going through the armpit and under the muscle will achieve the above results. He assured us that he had done this method many times and it would give me the best natural look. He said that he had performed this procedure many times and that I would have a very natural looking and feeling breast post procedure. He also said that going under the muscle is better for cancer screening. With his recommendations, I chose the method of going under the armpits because he assured me that I could accomplish all my personal goals as I outlined to him during the consultation. We set the appointment and the procedure was done.
I was given instructions which included wearing a wrap on my chest and doing specific exercises that was prescribed. I followed these instructions implicitly. After nearly two months, my implants were sitting very high on my chest. They were extremely hard and my nipples and breasts were sagging and hanging downwards. They looked deformed.

I received a breast augmentation from Dr. Truesdale. I had many aesthetic problems with both implants post procedure. I am not dealing with two breast that are completely different. My nipples are different and my left side has a floating implant. Dr. Truesdale is very arrogant and blames the problems on my body-in which from talking with other surgeons, is NOT the case. I would NEVER suggest having any procedure done with Dr. Truesdale. He does not stand behind his work.

When my one year old was sent to him to have her lip stitched up I was not pleased with the experience. He had me hold her down while he stitched her lip. Then a few weeks later I get billed for surgery! When I questioned them about it, his office stated that since they were a surgical center, they could bill everything they did as a surgery. I ended up paying over $500 (with insurance) for 5 stitches. I will never go back.
