This might be a long winded review, but justified as if you are considering a rhinoplasty all the details matter - they did for me. I first learned about nose jobs at the young age of 14 and promised myself I would get one in my 20’s. I gave myself time to grow into my skin and features but by the time I hit 24 I committed to one and started to save and research surgeons. My sisters friend had her nose done by Dr. Richard Rival and I loved her result. I researched his work, and found his case studies on his websites to be amongst the most honest and informative trail of his work. By 25 I had saved most of what I needed for this procedure but unfortunately due to family issues had to put the money into something else. I tabled a rhinoplasty for a few years, and in the interim even tried fillers in my nose and around my face to try and augment the look of my nose. By 2018 I finally began to save again, went for numerous consults and did my due diligence, and a Dr. Rival was the clear choice. I once again looked at his case studies and knew I wanted him as my surgeon. I highly recommend during your research phase to have a look at this section of his website. In addition to this, his bedside manners are wonderful - he is calming and you can immediately tell he is dedicated to his work. He was kind enough to do an initial 3D imaging of what my nose would look like during the first and second consultation. This, I thought was sooo exciting - I had been face tuning my nose on an app for so long and he showed me what was achievable and I loved it! The day of the surgery he comes in to see you and re iterates what you and him had discussed, which was very comforting. I asked him during this meeting if he would take a photo, before and immediately after while I was still out so I could have an accurate feel of what to except while I heal. He was able to do this and sent it to me right away, I cannot tell you how relived/excited/happy I was seeing my before and after when I got home after surgery. It just made the recovery process that much easier - I look at the photo everyday and smile while I am healing. Ive posted this photo down below, it’s also on his Instagram @torontorhinoplasty along with more of his work. Healing was not as bad as I thought it would be, cast came off today and though it’s still swollen - the hump and droopyness are gone :). Dr. Rival thank you for being the surgeon who crossed off a long time goal of mine, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I am grateful to have found you and can’t wait to see the final result. Big big shout out to the nurses & anesthesiologist - you guys made me laugh and stroked my hair when I needed the most. Thank you for being such great caregivers. Mona

Great experience, fast in and out and to the point. I had rhinoplasty, with no complications. Dr. Rival, is really nice, very experienced, does an amazing job and is willing to answer any questions. The Team at his Newmarket office is amazing!

I had breathing issues since early childhood, for as long as I could remember. Severely deviated septum, various seasonal allergies and what I thought were chronic sinus infections (turns out sinus infections were not the issue, instead enlarged turbinates were). I also started to dislike the shape of my nose around age 20, since it changed as I matured and my nose started looking too big for my face, with a bump and big droopy tip. I started to seriously think about having surgery a little over a year ago, mentioned this to my family doctor and she referred me to Dr Rival. I also saw two other plastic surgeons for a consultation. Right away, I liked Dr Rival the most. He seemed very attentive and professional. Other surgeons were saying that my nose will be difficult to operate on and I felt like they weren't sure they could deliver the results I wanted. Dr Rival agreed that there were several complicated issues with my nose that needed to be fixed, but he explained step by step on what he was planning to do. He was the only one who offered to do turbinates reduction, which I'm really glad I did. I showed him A LOT of photos of both what I like and what I don't like when it comes to shapes. This was the one important advice a friend of mine, who also had her nose done with Dr Rival, gave me - to be very specific about your preferences and expectations. I felt like it was a team effort, since Dr Rival would comment on the photos I showed him and suggest what he thought would look good and what was realistic. In the end, he gave me a lot of great advice and I went into the operating room confident that he knows what I'm looking for. I had an operation to correct my deviated septum, refine the tip, reduce the turbinates and also reconstruct the middle part of my nose which had some tissue missing inside. The result is absolutely amazing and beautiful. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Rival and his attentive staff. My nose looks perfect, it is exactly what I wanted and I love it so much. My nose is now straight, the tip is refined and not droopy anymore, overall my nose is about half the size of what it used to be. My breathing improved dramatically, which I honestly did not expect. I used to blow my nose almost every half an hour, it was always congested. If I slept on my side, only the top side would be breathing. Now I don't have to carry tissues with me anymore. I would 100% recommend this doctor! My main advice, take your time, show lots of photos, explain in detail what you want and what you don't want. It's a huge decision to make but it's so worth it.

I contacted Dr. Rival's office through email on the website, requesting a consultation for a neck lift. I was contacted the next day to set up a date. Consultation day, I was treated extremely well by the staff ( especially Shannon), as well as Dr. Rival answering all my questions. I especially appreciated his comments about a "very natural look" After given time to think about this procedure, I called and booked my surgery. Now this is when "ALL" the staff shined. exhibiting the most caring, compassionate and quality professionalism in taking care of "me". I believe the anaesthesiologist and the operating nurse are chosen by Dr. Rival for their outstanding care! Believe me I was very nervous, and I was treated so kindly. I could call anytime and was contacted the next day by Dr. Rival himself, to see how I was doing. After my surgery (which went very well) at 2 weeks, the aftercare to remove my stitches once again was outstanding! Shannon (receptionist) is just so friendly and lovely, and then I got to meet kind compassionate Franca Mok RN, who removed my stitches. I am so very pleased with my results. Dr. Rival is a very skilled, experienced surgeon, I highly recommend him. If anyone is considering this type of surgery with Dr. Rival at your consultation, just request neck lift clients pictures, I will personally leave my before and after photos with Shannon.
