Question Rhinoplasty by Toriumi or Tobias?

I am considering having a primary rhinoplasty performed by either Dean Toriumi of Chicago, or Geoffrey Tobias of NYC. Has anyone heard of them, had surgery perfomed by them? Any insight you could offer would be appreciated!

Thanks.

There has been quite a bit of press on both doctors concerning their revision skills. I have not seen a post from anyone who has used them so I am very curious to obtain feedback from a patient so I can determine if either is a good choice for my revision work. Please let me know if you gather any feedback from a patient.

Thanks,
Landon

I've had primary by Tobias. I can sum it up though, by recommending you stick with Toriumi! I have heard excellent things about him.

Personally, I wouldn't go to tobias for a primary nose job; he doesn't take enough off, even if you need it !! he's too worried about the nose collapsing. i guess thats a good thing, but he is still too conservative with how much he removes. go to someone who trusts himself with the knife! go to a real doctor. not a revision specialist. good luck.

I don't know where you get your information, believe me, he took way too much "off" of me, to the point where I need a revision. He was not at all conservative.

Third, revisionists are REAL doctors, believe me, since secondary rhinoplasties are 100 times harder than primaries.

He is a bad example.

If you are considering rhinoplasty, good luck to you.
