So worth it! I really did get a natural result as I was told I would.

I had been thinking about getting a rhinoplasty pretty much since the day I had a nose....so naturally I spent ALOT of time researching different providers etc. Living near Toronto there was a lot of reputable surgeons near by. After spending a lifetime weeding out the ones I didn't want based on reviews, pictures etc. I decided on Dr. Rival, and I am so glad that I did! He is one of the top rated plastic surgeons specializing in rhinoplasty, and after reading through reviews and looking at his work it was pretty much a no brainer for me.I had the procedure (Septorhinoplasty) done at the private clinic in Forest Hill. The staff there were all so friendly and caring. Prior to the surgery Dr.Rival came in and reviewed what we had decided on at the consult and took some pictures. Before I knew it, I was out like a light, then waking up to him showing me the before and after pictures and checking up on me at the bedside. His bedside manner is awesome, and has been and continues to be throughout this whole process!The recovery process for me was super easy. I only had to take the prescribed painkillers for the first 3 days, then just switched to Tylenol, and I think by day 5ish I didn't need anything at all. I really didn't bruise much, and swelling wasn't as bad as I had anticipated. I know a lot of that varies from person to person, but I do think some of it has to do with the surgeon's technique as well.I am now 4 months post-op and couldn't be happier with the results! I really did get a natural result as I was told I would. Most of the people that know I had the procedure done, tell my how natural it looks, and that if they didn't know me prior to they wouldn't think I had anything done....which is exactly what I was hoping for! There still is some swelling at the tip of the nose to go down, but even with the swelling I am SO much happier with my nose. I honestly can't wrap my head around how there is even a single negative review on here for Dr. Rival, but I mean we all have our own opinions/experiences. From my experience however, I honestly can not recommend Dr. Rival enough.Feel free to message me if you're considering Dr. Rival or getting your nose done, I'm happy to throw my two cents in there and help as much as I can :)
