It Was One of the Best Decisions I've Ever Made!

After 3 long years (Feb 2019 - Mar 2021) of physical, emotional and financial set backs, all consequences of enduring 4 failed rhinoplasty revision surgeries with another surgeon in Los Angeles, I was left with a badly deformed and non-functioning nose. The bridge of my nose had fully collapsed for the 4th time, my nasal passages were completely obstructed and I had lost most of my columella due to the removal of necrotized tissue from the area during an emergency procedure (surgery #3). At that time, as I was about to learn from other LA surgeons whom I sought for second opinions, my case had become very complicated and it now required a surgeon with vast knowledge in the field of revision rhinoplasty and who also specialized in facial reconstruction involving skin grafting. Dr. Toriumi was referred to me by one of these second opinion surgeons I saw in Los Angeles. I initially felt very nervous about seeing a doctor all the way in Chicago and potentially taking the next phase of surgeries and treatments to another city, half way across the country, away from my home and family. But, I can honestly say it now that it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Dr. Toriumi has done what seemed impossible - he restored both, the functionality and the aesthetics of my nose in a well balanced and harmonious way. From the very beginning as he put together a multi-step treatment plan that best suited my needs to the timely execution of it's every phase, Dr. Toriumi has exceeded all of my expectations, while keeping me feeling heard, informed, and safe along the way. He is truly a remarkable surgeon. I highly recommend Dr. Toriumi and his wonderful staff.
