My new nose fits my face perfectly and maintains a natural look
The decision to undergo rhinoplasty was one that I had contemplated for many years, and I can confidently say that choosing Dr. Rival was undoubtedly one of the best decisions I have ever made. The recovery phase was, in a word, exceptional. I was pleasantly surprised by the minimal bruising and the complete absence of pain. I am extremely grateful for the care and support I received during this time. I can confidently say that Dr. Rival and his team have not only transformed

I feel so beautiful like this was always supposed to be my face
I've had a long journey with my nose, I broke it when I was 10 falling flat on my face trick or treating. I did not go to the hospital so my nose was always crooked. I saw an ear nose throat specialist at the age of 22 who completely ruined my nose taking out far too much cartilage (but at least it was straight). As the years went on the nose continued to "fall" since I hadnt any support. So you can imagine at 37, with this huge nose with no support, after 27 years of feeling

The results so far are looking great - very minimal swelling
I’d like to start by saying that the most significant thing you look for in a plastic surgeon is that they’re knowledgeable, compassionate, and honest. Dr. Rival is all of these. He does not set unrealistic expectations. He provides clear guidelines of what you can expect. I recently underwent a septoplasty with Dr. Rival and his kindness is unmatched. The results so far are looking great and my swelling is very minimal only 2 weeks in. I suffer from anxiety especially surrounding

Most perfect nose for my face. And the surgery and recovery were a breeze!
If I could give Dr. Rival more than 5 stars I would!! I had septorhinoplasty a few months ago and it was the best decision I could have made for myself! I have hated my nose since I was 12 years old when I started to get bullied about it. This bullying unfortunately continued on and off throughout my life until I was finally in a position in my mid 50s (!) to be able to consider surgery. I had heard about Dr. Rival from a trusted friend so decided to go for a consultation.

2 months post-op rhinoplasty - heartfelt recommendation
When I began my research for a surgeon, I sought to find a doctor who was highly regarded in all aspects inclusive of expertise, care, and pleasing results. After months of extensive research, I came across various positive and heartwarming testimonials of Dr. Rival’s work and my decision to book a consult and needless to say, surgery with Dr. Rival, came without hesitation. Since consultation day, Dr. Rival kept clear but optimistic goals for what would be achieved in surgery,

I am so impressed with how straight it is and how much cuter the tip is
From consultation to my one year post op follow up, Dr. Rival was wonderful to work with. He’s a very skilled surgeon and I found him to be kind and approachable. I consulted with other Toronto doctors but knew he was the one I wanted to choose right when I met him. At my consultation, he was very honest/realistic with what results he would be able to achieve with my nose so I knew exactly what outcome to expect going in to surgery. Throughout the year of follow up appointments,

The recovery was a breeze
Just got my cast off and cried... even though I know it's swollen I feel so beautiful! He legitimately did a perfect job I can't even describe how thankful I am. Truly a wonderful experience. I wish I had done it sooner... and so glad I chose Rival! Lyne the admin assistant was also amazing with responding to all my questions and concerns... and trust me I had many! Overall... it was so nerve racking... but it's way better than I had ever hoped. The recovery was actually a

Dr. Rival is amazing.
Dr. Rival is amazing. It’s been about three months since my rhinoplasty, and although I have a lot more swelling that needs to go down (I have thicker skin) I’m already so pleased with my results! He does not make your nose look overdone/fake, which was very important to me. Besides the friends/family that I told, no one else has ever suspected that I had my nose done! Overall, I found Dr. Rival’s disposition to be kind and caring. I appreciated how soft spoken he was and never

So worth it! I really did get a natural result as I was told I would.
I had been thinking about getting a rhinoplasty pretty much since the day I had a nose....so naturally I spent ALOT of time researching different providers etc. Living near Toronto there was a lot of reputable surgeons near by. After spending a lifetime weeding out the ones I didn't want based on reviews, pictures etc. I decided on Dr. Rival, and I am so glad that I did! He is one of the top rated plastic surgeons specializing in rhinoplasty, and after reading through reviews
