How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Hey Real self users! I have finally gotten the...
Hey Real self users!
I have finally gotten the courage to post about my journey. Reading everyone's stories on here have helped me tremendously, so I've decided to start posting!
I have been insecure about my nose for almost 10 years (since I was 12). I never knew what to do about it when I was younger so I just pushed the thought to the back of my mind.
I started modeling after high school and was always conscious of the lighting and angles of my face to make my nose look it's best. Some make up artists would contour my nose to make it look slimmer and the photographers would photoshop it a bit. I LOVED the way it looked in the edited photos and it occurred to me in college that I can actually do something about it. I started saving up my money, researched doctors and went on a few consults. When I brought up the idea to my parents they completely shot me down. They made it clear they are not supportive of the procedure, said it's a waste of money and that I'll end up looking like Michael Jackson...It really hurt knowing that my parent's, who have been there for me for everything, will not support me in one of the biggest decisions I am going to make. Needless to say, a couple of years went by since then I and haven't brought up rhinoplasty to my parents since.
For the past 6 months I started researching thoroughly again for surgeons and I came across Dr. Grigoryants. I LOVE his before and afters and have followed many of his previous patients on here. I'm pretty confident in his abilities and even though it will be much more expensive due to travel and the area, I feel it is worth it for something so permanent.
Anyway, I haven't told a soul about my decision. I am extremely scared to bring it up to my parents again and I really hope they can be supportive. I also haven't brought this up to my fiancé...I'm afraid he'll think I'm vain and has said before he doesn't think I need any kind of plastic surgery. Just looking for some courage, support and advice for such a big decision.
Thanks Real Self community!

More Photos
So I've received a few comments on here saying my nose is fine and I've realized these pictures didn't give a good depiction of what my nose looks like. I'll attach a few more, but keep in mind they are very zoomed in and cropped which makes it look smaller than it is in comparison to my face.
Noses I love
