Please Help Me Decide the Best Surgeon for my 4th Rhinoplasty Revision

By ASIAN40 on 20 Jan 2011

I had 4 horrible Rhinoplasty, 3 of them are revisions using ear cartlidge performed by the same doctor in Beverly Hills!!! Now I'm looking for somebody who specializes in ASIAN NOSE BRIDGE/TIP. My nose was flat and has no bridge. Now I have an ugly brige/crooked looking nose. I'm very depressed...

I'm VERY depressed after gone through THREE Rhinoplasty including the revisions with the same doctor in Beverly Hills, but ALL THREE have been horrible. I'm now desperately looking for a Rhinoplasty Revision Specialist and Paranasal Surgeon in the U.S. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

1.) Dean Toriumi (Chicago) 2.) J. Regan Thomas (Chicago) 3.) Jack Gunter (Texas) 4.) Toby Mayer (Beverly Hills) _______________________________ The above are my preliminary picks for my 4th revision. The surgeons above are in random order. PLEASE HELP ME...

I'm so sorry you've been through so much with your nose! How did you choose your short list of surgeons? Have you met with any of them yet?

Unfortunately, I don't have first hand information on any of the doctors for you.

Dr. Gunter's RealSelf profile is here.

Dr. Mayer can be found here.

Dr. J. Regan Thomas here.

And Dr. Toriumi is here.

Hopefully someone who's had one of these surgeons before will chime in. You might also get some feedback by posting a review in our rhinoplasty community.

Please keep us updated!

You've got a good list there. All of these surgeons were mentioned by other doctors as some of the best rhinoplasty surgeons in the US so they are certainly qualified. Personally, I would then pick the closest one, to make travel and follow-ups easier.

If you are looking for someone in Beverly Hills I would visit Dr Bill Binder. Otherwise Dr Dean Toriumi and Dr Regan Thomas would be my primary choices. I hope this helps.

Does anyone has any experience with Dr. Toby Mayer in Beverly Hills?
PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Any review will be greatly appreciated. I am desperate, and do not want to make another mistake!

Hi Sharon,

Dr. Toriumi is like a celebrity, I called his office the front office manager said, "If you do not have $25000 don't even bother making an appointment!" ...Can you believe that? I made several calls afterwards and still got the same responses.

Does anyone know anything about Dr. MAYER and Dr. Jay CALVERT? Both are located in Beverly Hills.

Is there any GOOD Rhinoplasty FORUM on the internet that has pretty consistent reviews and sound judgement?

PLEASE HELP...

Hi ASIAN40,

Wow, I guess that's an upfront way to weed out prospective patients. :o

Dr. Calvert has quite a few reviews here on RealSelf. Here's his profile, then scroll down to the "Patient Reviews and Recommendations" section to read each review.

Hope this helps!

I would be grateful if anyone could kindly let me know about Dr.Toriumiin Chicago? I checked out his profile, very impressive. The thing that impressed me was he does all 3 D imaging with the patient himself. Unlike many offices I have visited where its all done be some nurse. I have called his office today and no one talked rudely to me. It's hard to believe some of the negative reviews written here whether its written by real patients or generated by some marketing managers from some Drs office to misguide us. people please be honest. Thanks.

I can tell you that we screen our reviews manually and carefully. It's rare that a fake review would get through our system.

Thanks Angiemcc. I was too quick in making a statement, sorry about that. The fact is until now I haven't heard a word back from Dr.Toruiimin office regarding my inquiry. I'm still awaiting for his nurse to get in touch with me. Not a good first impression to begin with.

I just had my 4th and final revision by Dr. William Silver here in Atlanta~ Revision rhinoplasty is his area of expertise~ He achieved what my other surgeon could not in 3 revisions~

I cannot believe what I'm reading~ These are horror stories!! And the one about the fellow performing surgery????? My surgeon had his fellow in the room with me but was absolutely not allowed to assist with any part of the surgery! You need to go with your gut-- you are reading these for a reason. Someone is obviously trying to tell you something.
