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.

I decided to remove my pictures but feel free to msg me about it and I can send you some through e mail or something :)

everything's pretty much back to normal, I'm still getting used to my new nose. the swelling is going down and it's looking better every day. the left side is still the more swollen side, but then again it's only been 11 days. I also noticed that the tip looks slightly more upturned on the left profile, but I don't really mind.
when I don't wear the tape people haven't really said anything so I'm guessing you cant tell. or maybe they noticed my swollen face and decided not to comment about it lol
the people that do know, have been really supportive. coworkers even told me it's somewhat inspiring, they ended up wanting some work done too.

I'm happy, and I definitely think it's worth it:)

so I got the splint taken off today... didn't hurt, I was already saying ouch as grigoryants put his tweezers inside my nostrils, he then told me "I haven't done anything" so I giggled a little and said " I know but I heard this hurts" I felt so dumb lol anyway.
that was cool, then it felt as if he cut the nostril stitches in half then pulled the remaining pieces off, that didn't hurt either but I felt the pulling motion.
I went out with my boyfriend a few hours ago and obviously kept staring at my nose inside the store mirrors, i saw a little something (what i thought was a scab) and pulled on it but it didnt come off! I realized I had a piece of stitch that he had left behind... has this happened to anyone? can I just pull it off myself?

then something worse happened, I tried on a shirt and accidentally bumped my nose:( that hurt a bit but not enough no make my eyes water or anything. should I call my doctor? so paranoid now..ugh

anyway....it feels odd when you look at yourself for the first time. I feel like my nose is reeeeally symmetrical, I don't know how to feel about it yet, I like it....but my face is still swollen. I was also told that my tip would drop at some point, but I kinda like scooped noses lol so....yeah...
oh and I can't smile properly either so that's a pain in the butt.

day 1

I woke up from surgery with minimal pain, it fluctuated between a 4 and a 6, nothing unbearable. I also haven't felt nauseous at all, a little bit when I tried drinking a strawberry banana smoothie, so I didn't finish it. I've been drinking water but no food since Thursday night.
I also didn't get too bruised, my bridge is swollen from what I can see but it doesn't hurt or anything, I've been sleeping a lot, most likely cause of the pain meds. but yeah, so far so good. ..I cant really see my nose through the cast thingy so it's probably smaller in size. I do have the piggy look, but grigoryants told me this would happen and would eventually drop before he even performed the surgery so I'm not worried. here are some pics: )

Dr. Grigoryants was a bit quiet but I could tell he was confident in his abilities which put me at ease.
