Its been a year since my surgery I wanted to wait...

Its been a year since my surgery I wanted to wait to fully judge it because its said that it takes about a year for the very full result. This deserves a review, its my first one because I'm so extremely happy! I've always known I wanted to get rhinoplasty it has always been something I have been insecure about. Not only was I camera shy because of it but I also had breathing problems (my right nostril was crooked) I also had a bump on the bridge of my nose and the tip was very droopy looking. I can't stress how important it is to research on where to go and get it done. I went to a few consultations in Toronto and the last person I went to accepted american express (not everyone accepts this method of payment) and showed the best enthusiasm! Dr. Torgerson made me feel really comfortable and feel confident about giving me the results that I was looking for. The first doctor I went to was very cheap in price but did not accept american express and also was telling me how I should design my new nose completely disregarding my interest in how I want it to be.. basically was telling me that its not even that bad, which gave me a sense of him not having much experience it just made him seem lazy and not open to my ideas and he also told me that I don't need rhinoplasty .. so back to the drawing board. I went to someone else and I was looking at the after pictures and everyones after pictures looked so generic and fake.. like everyones bridge was so straight, no shape no definition. To me thats very unnatural looking and that made me keep looking because the pictures alone said a lot. I was looking for someone who had an eye for natural looks. And I found the doctor!! 

I wish I found Dr. Torgerson first so I didn't waste my time and money on the other ones but on the other hand I really learned the difference between someone who cares and understands what I want out of the surgery in specifics. He really understood what I wanted and what helped even more was the 3D imaging we worked on together. This is probably the best thing when doing ESPECIALLY rhinoplasty its fun to know how you are going to look after surgery and very satisfying giving your detailed input on how you would like things to turn out. It was by far the best experience with staff they are very professional and friendly, the amazing gentle doctor, my nose that I had wanted for so long. I breathe so much better now & I really like how natural it looks its exactly like how the 3D imagining turned out. I totally recommend this doctor 100%, to me he is a 5 star. He pays attention to detail and is very comforting to what you are looking for. 

I just wanted to quickly mention the package he recommended me to get that contains vitamin pills and powder to mix with water or juice before and after surgery i think its like a 30 day pack. I totally recommend this also!!! i had almost NO bruising!! and everything healed so quickly I can't even tell you how worth it that was... it was around 300$ but trust me its the best option if you are under going surgery you will heal so very quick and Im a person that bruises easily and bruises usually stay on me for so long mine were so minor. The whole thing was a breeze and I will be repurchasing the package again if I do another surgery of any sort. Obviously taking vitamins on a daily basis is important but these ones are specifically for healing and from experience I seen and felt the difference.
