Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- 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.

More updated photos
I just spoke with Dr. Toriumi the other day and he said that I am right on track in terms of my healing process.
So far I am pleased with my results - I can breathe without a problem, my nose isn't running all the time, and my nose looks more normal and evened out compared to what it was before.
I still highly recommend Dr. Toriumi and am so glad that I went to him for my 4th (and hopefully last!) surgery.

Updated Photos
Just adding some updated photos as I previously promised in my initial review. These are from August up until January 2024. My nose is still on its healing journey, but the swelling has gone down a bit so that has been nice. I am still doing my nasal soaks (1x daily) and then my nose compressions per Toriumi's request.
Roughly 3-Months Post Op
I have posted photos so that you can get a sense of my recovery / progression. My nose is still quite large and swollen which makes sense since it was my 4th surgery coupled with the fact that Dr. Toriumi used a ton of grafts. Aside from that, the swelling overall has definitely gone down a bit compared to when I first got my cast removed. My breathing has improved immensely and my nose doesn't seem to be running as much as it used to prior to the surgery. I have to wait a few years to see how things play out in the long run, but so far I am happy with my results and I feel grateful for the enhanced functionality of my nose.
Please note: If some of the healing looks asymmetrical it is because Toriumi has been having me do nose compressions on only one side of my nose (my right side) as a result of some natural deviation after the cast was removed.
Circling back on a point I made in my last review:
I want to clarify a point that I made in my original review that those who think that Toriumi is too quiet or too unskilled or too arrogant are merely being irrational. I was actually referring to people who make quick judgments about him without even having met him in person, or for those who have never had any surgical experience with him, yet find themselves running around various online forums speaking poorly of him and/or giving him bad reviews/1-star ratings. I in no way was insinuating that anyone who has actually had a poor outcome as a result of his surgery (or multiple surgeries done by him) is irrational. Everyone is entitled to their own experience(s), but I think that verified reviews and photos to back up one's claims, along with actual in-person and virtual consultations are the best bet for anyone interested in moving forward with this type of complex surgery. Reviews that are posted merely to complain for the sake of complaining should be taken with a grain of salt in my opinion.
