Can’t Recommend Enough

Back in 2021 I got a very bad cut on my lower cheek + jaw that was about 2 inches long. After healing I had a big bright red hypertrophic scar and it affected my self-esteem immensely. It was also painful to move my face because the scar pulled my skin tightly. After consulting with a few different doctors I chose Dr. Tolan because he genuinely listened and cared about what I said. He also has lots of experience with scars because of his work on patients with cleft palates. Over

Most genuine surgeon - multiple procedures related to cleft lip & palate

I saw Dr. Tolan for multiple procedures throughout the course of my adolescence related to cleft lip & palate. He has performed nasal surgeries on me as well as placed tubes in my ears & even removed a mole. He always made me feel so comfortable & involved in the process. I am forever grateful for him & cannot recommend him enough. He was my surgeon for the majority of my life growing up until I was about 21 years old. If you’re looking for someone to not only

Septo-Rhinoplasty - Woodbury, MN

Dr. Tolan is uniquely talented. He managed to reduce my hump and still keep my ethnic features intact. No one noticed I had anything done, and I am so much happier with my nose. Plus, I can breathe better! I battled with the decision of aesthetically changing my nose for a long time (6 years) and I'm so happy I chose him. He and his team are amazing.

Deviated Septum - Woodbury, MN

I had a rhinoplasty done by a plastic surgeon but he failed to correct my deviated septum, which was my chief complaint. I thought it was something that I was just going to have to learn to live with. However, after I was diagnosed with asthma, I consulted with an ENT. He explained to me how he could correct my deviated septum and open up my airways so I could breathe better. But I left there feeling like he didn't have much concern for how my nose was going to look. That's when

28 Years Old, Functional Septoplasty and Turbinate Surgery. Woodbury, MN

My motivation to have a consultation with Dr. Tolan was due to a deviated septum and difficulty breathing that I've experienced my entire life. Overall, I am very happy with the results. if I had to choose whether I would have surgery knowing what I know now, I would have the surgery again with Dr. Tolan. The surgeon can make or break your experience and outcome. Updated on 6 Jun 2016: I will work on getting my before/after pictures from the office, but for now I will post

60 Year Old Male Trichophytic (Hairline) Brow Lift and Upper Blepharoplasty - Woodbury, MN

My eyelids were very droopy and barely open. In photos I looked very tired at best and creepy at worst. I needed professional photos for work. I will have to work for years yet. I thought I might benefit from an upper blepharoplasty. I consulted two MDs then Dr. Tolan. I am certain all three are very competent as I did a lot of research. The first MD recommended Fraxel laser repair then maybe upper blepharoplasty if I still needed it later. The second MD quoted me a price

Good Customer Service, Poor Results

Dr. Tolan and his team are friendly and welcoming. The results however, are poor. I had a Septo-rhinoplasty with Dr. Tolan and over a year post procedure, I’m left with a bumpy and crooked nose. Given his 20+ years of experience, I’m surprised by the results and I don’t trust to go under the knife a second time for a revision with Dr. Tolan and his team. Needless to say, I’m sad, angry about the results and worried about the additional costs for a revision and the time it will

Getting a Septorhinoplasty W/turbinates Reduction - Woodbury, MN

Surgery is scheduled for 9/21. I've been planning this for about 4-5 years but finally started with the process in April. I'm getting deviated septum fixed, my dorsal bump removed, nose straighten and the tip points down when I smile so we are also fixing that. I have a little over 5 wks before my procedure. I can't wait to have a new cuter nose! I'm am afraid of the final results I'm just hoping things go as planned. I have my Preop appt on Sept 2nd so I will add more info then. Updated

Can't Decide Between 4mm and 5mm Permalip

I am scheduled for January 3rd, however, still battling the decision of what size to get. I would like to go with the 5mm to make the procedure worth it, since my fear is that the 4 mm is playing it too safe and may be too subtle. Although I want to make my mouth bigger, I don't want them to look unnatural or like sausages. I don't have super thin lips, however I have a very narrow mouth that isn't wide, so I'm wondering how the implants would look with the shape of my lips. any
