He gave me a retracted nostril, many dents and rough edges

ORIGINAL POST

Dr. Toriumi - Stay Away!

Dr Toriumi is arrogant. He performed three surgeries on me and never made my nose look normal. He gave me a retracted nostril, many dents and rough edges from the grafts. He also gave me a HUGE lump protruding out of the side of my nose from a graft that got displaced. He only attempts to fix one thing each time he operates and then when you ask why he didn’t fix something, he just says that you need another surgery. He created more problems than he fixed and is rude and condescending. He also put a huge chunk of rib in the back of my head under my scalp without asking me or letting me know prior to surgery. He charged me three separate times just to seemingly practice on me and try out techniques. You will be horribly swollen for months and then your nose will be a dented bumpy mess. A terrible surgeon.

Why does this violate terms? It’s someones experience and should be made available for anyone looking to alter their face. Be ethical
Rib in the back of your head without consent? Report him! And also why? What did he claim to intend to accomplish? That is so confusing
He said it was in case i was ever in a car accident or the like and needed to fix my nose again - easier to access than going in and getting more rib. Dumb.
Rib in the back of the head??? Please post before and after pictures. How much did he charge each time? Thanks.
PictureS please. I had rib banked in back of my head. That’s normal practice
Really? Dr. Toriumi's patients are the only ones I've ever heard of talking about getting rib put in the back of their heads.
