Dr. Toriumi Saved my Life
Dr. Toriumi is possibly the best rhinoplasty/plastic surgeon in the world. He saved my life. When I was 30 years old, a plastic surgeon in California crushed and destroyed my nose. Don't worry, he is retired. I was disfigured, unemployable and deeply depressed. I had 4 more surgeries in Beverly Hills, Dallas and Santa Barbara with a very very poor outcome. When I was 39, I saw positive comments about Dr. Toriumi online and decided to go for it one more time. I had a 6.5 hour $23,000 surgery which included a rib and ear graft. Not only did my nose look like a nose again but it was actually pretty. Dr. Toriumi is kind. When I had my surgery, I was worried about the anesthesia and asked him to be there when I woke up. And he was! I have seen a lot of pretty noses in his waiting room and I think he has a great aesthetic. For women worried about the rib graft, the incision is placed in the crease of your breast and barely visible. Post surgery, I did not experience any bruising, bleeding or pain in my nose. The rib graft hurt really bad for 3 days but after two weeks, I couldn't feel it. Within a month I was doing sit-ups.
