  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

What a Wonderful Outcome!

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 horrible about my nose, I had kind of given up on the entire thing. I spoke with Dr Rival and when I did, I felt good about him but Id always felt rushed in his office. Dont let that discourage you, he's a busy man. My instincts told me to go with him anyway and at my last appt I brought enhanced photos of myself and really expressed what would make me happy. I hated my front view he told me my side view bothered him more. So it was great to have that conversation so Id understand what he saw vs what I saw. The day of surgery he was a calming presence and I was full of nerves as I have three children and did not want to go under the knife for something many may regard "trivial" but I felt great the moment I saw him and when I woke up his visit was very reassuring. I even asked him to send me my before and after table pics on that day and he did! I am 2 mths post opp I feel so beautiful like this was always supposed to be my face! Taking pictures is a breeze now whereas before Id hide myself. I never write reviews but I just have to commend Dr Rival for doing such an amazing job ...and I am a very picky person. I need to wait another 1.5 years to truly see my results as this was a revision but I am extremely happy so far.
