Rhinoplasty with Dr. Grigoryants, happy!

I've red soo many of you're reviews here on RS. And now I'm starting my own. Feels so strange!
I've been unhappy with my nose since I was around 14 years old. And not one day goes by without me looking in the mirror thinking I want it done. I have never been teased for my nose before. I have always been told I am pretty. I have never told anyone, not even my family or my closest friends that I'm unhappy with my nose. Haven't even hinted about being unsaticfied. Not even when me and my girlfriends has done our makeup together before going out, and one of them has said "Ah, I don't like my nose". Not even at that time have I said anything about what I think about mine. Because I have not wanted anyone to notice what I don't like...

I have a crocked nose, with a bump, and a semi-long tip that drops when I smile. What I am most worried about is how it will look from the front. The tip has to be lifted, but I'm soo afraid I will look piggy. It would REALLY not fit me.

I'm an out of town patient from Europe, I have had one consultation in my own country, but they just don't have enough experience here. So I did my resarch. I've done research for a year when I found Dr. Grigoryants. So I have had an online consultation with Dr. Grigoryants over e-mail. He has been answering my questions quickly, and when I emailed him my pictures, I got the same answer as many of you "You got a beautiful face, I will refine the tip, and remove the bump. Might take in the nostrils". I just LOVE alot of his before and afters, so I really hope that my result will be as good!

I will appreciate tips, and to hear from you others Grigoryants-girls! And if any of you were out of town patients I would love to hear how it all went out! Thank you! :)

I might add some pictures maybe tomorrow.

Oooh my gosh! I just bought planetickets, all the way from Europe. It's no going back now!! I also found this beautiful apartment located in Hollywood bvd. where my mum and I will stay for 10 days. I found the place at www.airbnb.com. It's two queensize beds, kitchen, a nice livingroom, 2 TV's, Netflix, and Internet included. I hope it will be ok to get to both the office in Glendale where I'm having me pre- and postop apointments, and also Avanguared Surgery Centre in Tarzana where I will be having my operation.

I can't believe its only 19 days left till the big day! I'm shifting from beeing really happy, till very nervous. I just can't understand that I'm actually going through with this. I've read soo many reviews here on RS these last weeks, and I've started planning what supplies I should get. Please share if you have any must-haves!

I'm not very comfortable adding pictures of me yet at this time, so I think I will start adding a few pictures of what I am looking for to achieve. (I also sent these pictures to Dr. G). I sent him 10-15 pictures. This was pictures of a few celebrities, but mostly girls from RealSelf and a few photoshopped pictures (I did) of myself. I asked for his opinion on the pictures I sent him, and all I got back was. "Hi ******. You wil have your own good looking nose."
I can't say this gave me a lot, so I replied back and asked about his thoughts on the pictures. He then replied "I like how you changed the photos in photoshop. Those results looks reasonable." Maybe he didn't think the others would fit me? A girl I think got a great result is "lenosestory" here on RS.

I would love to get in contact with you other Grigoryants-girls, and also the rest of you that have had or planning to have a rhino!

Soooo, I'm doing it! Putting up a few before-photos. As you can see my nose is quite long, and the tip drops. I also have a bump on my bridge that I want gone, and the nose goes a bit to one side, so I would be happy if Dr. G could straighten that out. I have a deviated septum as well, and also one of my nostril is blocked when I breathe in hard.

I morphed a few pics to see what it can look like. Please tell me if you have any thoughts!

Gosh, I can't believe it's only two weeks away!! From today on I will stop eating salt, sugar and garlic. When did you guys completely stop this? It will be SO HARD! I looove salt, and I use garlic in everything I make... Please share if you have any pre-surgery tips for me, I would really appreciate that.

Btw, I just told my dad about this, and I was so nervous about that, because he is always so worried.. But he supports me, escpesially if it can help me breathe better. I'm so glad!! It feels good now that I've told him.

Good luck to all of you thats having an upcoming surgery, and happy healing to you that have already been through it!
