Dr. Rival
Board-certified in Facial Plastic Surgery and Otolaryngology, Dr. Rival devotes his practice exclusively to enhancement of the face and neck, with a focused specialty in rhinoplasty.
Evaluating Your Nose
In evaluating you for rhinoplasty surgery, Dr. Rival will examine your nose externally and assess its size, shape, and skin quality. It's important to consider whether your nose is in proportion with the rest of your face and even with your height and body type. Sometimes, he might suggest chin augmentation, either along with or instead of rhinoplasty, to help you achieve a more pleasing facial balance.
Dr. Rival will also examine the internal structures of your nose to assess whether you are able to breathe properly. Being a board-certified otolaryngologist, he has specialized knowledge of the internal structures of the nose. He has extensive experience performing functional nose surgery as well as making cosmetic enhancements for Toronto rhinoplasty patients.
Setting Expectations
After Dr. Rival has performed a thorough assessment of your nose, he will ask you to describe what you'd like to change about it. Many patients choose to have computer imaging to see an approximation of their results. This technology can be a valuable tool in helping Dr. Rival clearly understand how you'd like your nose to look.
Once you've decided to proceed with the surgery, Dr. Rival's staff will review the fees, help you determine any medical coverage, and go over the recovery process. Many women and men have been thrilled with the improvements Dr. Rival has given them through nose surgery. He welcomes the opportunity to serve you too.
