He says anything to shirk responsibility

He tells everyone I was such a special and complex case and yet he tried to break me when he botched me up so bad with his horrible flap work by saying it was a "minor revision". Is that why I look like this and can't breathe and can't smell/ Because you treated me like I was a minor revision after multiple surgeries? You can see from the before and afters that he disfigured me. This must be because he treated me like I was a minor revision. Or wait, am I complex? or minor? It is whatever it is when it suits him to not take responsibility for what he has done and to continue to profit off the misery and pain of desperate women/men.

Still suffering from the damage done by this doctor

My life is till utterly destroyed by the mess this doctor made on my face. There was consideration or precautions taken for my particular case. I had blood flow problems obviously as the cadaver I previously had in my nose dissolved in the tip and columella. Toriumi even poked my nose with a needle and there was no blood flow and he proceeded to operate on me without any regard for my wellbeing or outcome. This doctor cares for money and money only in my opinion. Because of him I can no longer breathe or smell.I have to wear an apparatus in my nose 24/7 and the aesthetic result is a tragedy. I never had a bridge problem until he did whatever he did which was throw away a perfect dorsal onlay graft for what? nothing? what is that think that is veering to the side? The tip of my nose is so unsightly as it looks like a pig and the skin has all kind of dents and scars on the outside thanks to him.

I have been to consults and gotten everything from you need a forehead flap to you will never look normal again or breathe through your nose again. I have also met a couple of kind and humane doctors that are willing to help me. Two have offered to block out the entire surgical day for my case.I will never ever go a cold, inhumane doctor again and I will never ignore my gut feeling again. I still don't trust anyone to decide yet because I have severe PTSD from the experience with Toriumi. But when I do, it will be with a doctor who at least has empathy. Please don't let other doctors blindly recommend this doctor to you as my life is ruined in ways I choose not to disclose in public.

Complete and total eradication of my nose and function of my nose by toriumi

No refund offered. Last time I had a consult with him he said my projection looked fine. How can these doctors get away with this. Do you know what its like to get stared out for all the wrong reasons? Do you know what its like to have to wear nasal retainers 24/7 with no function or no ability to smell whatsoever? How about good employment or the ability to enjoy an evening out with friends. This doctor took away my ability to function in society and any normalcy I had. How is this even allowed in society? And I am not the only one he has done this to but he gets away with it because most people wont post.
