Update- VERY UNHAPPY

  • 21 Sep 2017
I think with many people, their noses lose cartilage with age which is a reason for a doctor being subtle with the procedure. I have, since this procedure, had rhinoplasty recommended to me (usually subtly) much more than I ever did prior. Mine is now much larger than it was even swollen a couple of days after cast removal. My nose is not large in a way where it was before with the roman look, but in a more rounded way which I cannot stand unless it's tiny. It bothers me now more than it ever did before, and he could have taken twice as much off. Again, not happy and one hundred percent will need a revision, but the procedure was probably not worth going through again even if it were free.

Happy with my profile today!

  • 9 Dec 2014
Despite the fact that I'm having a frizzy hair day and this pic was taken with horrible lighting, and I love my profile today! It's so weird to have 'good nose days'...

Nobody has noticed, although I think children do. They seem to study my face wondering what changed, but other adults really don't. One lady kept saying that something is different about me, I look great...did I dye my hair or something?

I really notice a difference when I smile, because my nose use to droop low. I'm much more comfortable smiling now.

Nostrils & front view

  • 7 Dec 2014
There is certainly a huge difference in my nostrils. I can't breathe too well yet, due to the swelling probably, and don't have much of a sense of smell. Food tastes much stronger and I can't stand too much salt or sugar, probably from all of those days without salt. I had a couple of glasses of wine yesterday- and didn't have any swelling! I'm pretty much back to a normal diet.

I have found a miracle anti-inflammatory supplement- turmeric pills!! They work better than Arnica. Also, I've been using Egyptian magic skin cream instead of vaseline in my nose, which is an unscented beeswax/olive oil/royal jelly mixture.

The front picture is an angle I NEVER would have wanted to take before, because it was my worst angle. It's funny how pictures are different because your worst angles change after rhinoplasty.

Dr. Grigoryants was professional, and confident, yet still humble and not arrogant in the slightest. He listens attentively to concerns and suggestions, and provides realistic answers. He also made me feel good about myself, and is very positive. In terms of his work, Dr. G. is truly a skilled artist. It takes more than just intelligence to succeed in this field, it takes creativity, steady hands, and an eye for symmetry as well as the ability to successfully bring a concept to fruition, and properly convey the anticipated results to the patients. Dr. Grigoryants has all of these skills, in addition to solid communication skills. He is busy, but that is because he has become known more and more around the world (yes, patients fly from the other side of the globe to see him!) but he never made me feel rushed and never seemed stressed. He seems to handle his intense schedule with ease, and you can tell he is a perfectionist (a very good trait for a surgeon!) Dr. Grigoryants office was diligent and competent, but Sona especially stood out to me. She is just delightful! Five stars across the board on this one.
