Dr. Toriumi Gives You the Best Outcome

Dr. Toriumi Gives You the Best Outcome

Dr. Toriumi understands that rhinoplasty is a very difficult operation and he does everything possible to provide you with the best outcome. For this reason, he takes all the necessary time to correct all deformities to his satisfaction. 

Dr. Toriumi spends 3 to 4 hours to complete a typical primary rhinoplasty. A moderately complex secondary case takes him 5 to 6 hours. Extra operative time tending to fine details often means it will be more expensive to have surgery with Dr. Toriumi compared to a typical surgeon. Dr. Toriumi does his best to give you the best outcome that he can. After all, his intention is to make it your last rhinoplasty operation.

Dr. Toriumi follows his patients over many years and will work closely with you to maximize your long-term result. Long-term follow-up is critical to insuring a good result and Dr. Toriumi encourages very regular and long term postoperative consultations. He believes that noses must be made strong to resist the forces of scar contracture that occur over time. At one year, for example, your nose is only about 50% to 60% healed with the remainder of the healing occurring over your lifetime.

Keeping your appointments maximizes your postoperative outcome. Dr. Toriumi may frequently ask you to do nasal exercises, protect your nasal structure with tape, and receive occasional steroid injections. These postoperative maneuvers can have a major impact on your long term outcome.
