Dr Dean Toriumi adds bulky unneccessary grafts to noses that not only make your nose looked like it was carved out of wood but also ruins the main function of the nose to breathe Chicago Illinois

I went to Dr. Toriumi for a revision rhinoplasty after consulting with 5 top doctors in the field of rhinoplasty. I concluded that since he was the top rhinoplasty surgeon in the world that he must be the best. On his website, his pictures of his noses looked very natural and not done at all. All of the doctors including Toriumi believed that my nose was not in that bad of shape but just needed a little tweaking.
I did not get a little tweaking done to my nose. I got a major overhaul. Dr. Toriumi's method is to replace everything whether it works or not. How would you feel if you took your car to get a tail pipe fixed and you got a completely different engine? This is what he does with noses. The noses he makes are large and not tapered to the individual. Small features do not look good with large noses. He does not take this into consideration.
A doctor's number one responsibility is To Do No Harm. Dr. Toriumi causes irreversable changes to the nose. He tells you this after you tell him all of your problems that you are having after his surgery. Many other surgeons will not operate on a nose that has previously been operated on by Toriumi because of the extensive grafts that he puts into your nose. He leaves you feeling hopeless because he tells you no one can fix it and if they try your nose will fall apart.
I cannot breathe out of my nose properly anymore. The skin on my nose and pores have stretched beyond their compacity. I have constant pain in my nostril from a graft poking through. I have extra rib cartilage stored in my head that still hurts and makes it difficult to wear glasses. Worst of all is that my nose looks hideous. Dr. Toriumi does not care about any of these problems. He does not care about you period. He is rude, manipulative, and treats you like a child.
This was the absolutely the worst decision I have ever made in my life. My face does not look anything like it use to. I do not wish this on anyone. At one time, I think Dr. Toriumi was a great surgeon but not anymore. He treats his patients like lab rats experimenting different techniques. Funny thing, I actually think lab rats have the better end of the deal particularly if your results don't turn out well.

Unbelieveable how unsympathetic and judgemental some people are!

Instead of supporting this person who was injured by Dr. Toriumi -- you attack her?
The doctor should do what he agrees to do -- there is a thing called informed consent. Toriumi was required by law to inform this person of what he planned to do to her during surgery, and clearly he did not.
In fact, Toriumi has been unethical, corrupt and dishonest as he has not provided many of his patients with informed consent, and he has harmed many.
This is why there are so many bad doctors in America -- instead of people expecting the doctors to be honest and ethical -- they blame the patients for getting harmed?
The guy you all should be shaming and condemning is the man who broke his oath and harmed innocent patients.
Instead of thanking this person for warning others about the risks involved with Dr. Toriumi -- your telling this person to not post on here?? Just because you're an insensitive, uncompassionate person who clearly kicks the wounded, doesn't mean that other people are that way too.
All of you who just judged, attacked, criticized and condemned this person who got deformed by a doctor -- all of you better be careful of the karma that can happen to you if you should ever have surgery.

Vanity kills

According to my Board Certified Plastic Surgeon (who is one the best in the US)
If you have Rhinoplasty you must rest for a week - no smoking, no exercising, no going to work - I know because I looked into having my nose redone due to breathing problems caused by several nose breaks
He suggested I see a Nose specialists ie - Ear, Nose and Throat Physician - Insurance covers that procedure and does not cover "elective" surgery like a nose job
You have no one but yourself to blame - If you are so dissatisfied then file a complaint with the AMA not rip off report
Good luck - no rip off here

Serious Questions..

Did he explain to you what "tweeking" he would do? Did you ask?
How long ago was your surgery, that is have you allowed time for healing?
How many "many doctors" did you ask that said they would not operate on your nose?
You looked at more than the pictures on his website, I mean you should have at least had an in-office consultation where he had more photos right?
You said this was a "revision rhinoplasty" aka "rhinoplasty CORRECTION", so this means this is NOT your first "nose job". If so why didn't you go back to that doctor? Did they do something you didn't like also?

I mean, it sucks for you, and I feel sorry for you solely because of the problems you'll face now.
But you would have been fine if you hadn't been shallow.
Good luck.
