Hello!
I had my nose corrected when I was younger, and now, 18 years and a completely crooked and protruding implant later - have finally decided this needs fixing! I'm really nervous, and looking for personal stories and/or recommendations for a rhinoplasty surgeon in Ontario. I want to remove the implant and use my own cartilage for the reconstruction.

1st In-Person Consult with Toronto Doctor: Richard Rival

I've had a few email consults already, and of these, have been most impressed with Dr. Charles S Lee (Beverly Hills) - thanks Aria K for the intro! Tomorrow I have my first local in-person consult with Dr. Rival. Granted there are mixed reviews for him, but I want to chat with him in person first before I formulate an opinion. My main concern is that he doesn't seem very experienced with Asian noses. Will update again to let everyone know my thoughts on this surgeon after the consult. If anyone has feedback for him, please feel free to share as well!

2nd In-Person Consult in Toronto: Dr. Oakley Smith

My consult with Dr. Rival was good. But after reading about the mixed reviews, I figured I didn't want to take the chance. I got an appointment with Dr. Smith last minute as there was a cancellation. Saw him last Thursday, and have decided to proceed with him as it was impossible to find unhappy previous clients. My revision is scheduled for two weeks from now; I'm having my current implant removed, and as long as there isn't infection present, will have reconstruction using cartilage from my ears and septum. If there is infection, it will become a staged revision, and I will have the implant removed, let my nose heal for 6 months then come back for reconstruction in 6 months. I have my fingers and toes crossed that this will be a one-time shot - but if not - I will probably be pretty depressed for 6 months living with a deformed nose. Will keep everyone posted with updates! All the reviews on here have been so helpful for me during a very stressful time and I plan to pay it forward in case anyone else is in the same boat as me.
