I love my father, but unfortunately I inherited his nose. If I was a male it would probably be perfect, but I’m not, and I feel that it's too masculine and gives me an unpleasant appearance. I would like for my nose to appear softer and feminine.

I've invested many hours of research and finally decided to get my rhinoplasty with Dr. Grigoryants. I visited his office for a consultation a few months ago and initially I was not very happy with the experience. It was not exactly what I expected and I actually wrote a comment about it. At the time, I felt that the my consultation was rushed. The staff also took longer than expected to get back to me about the surgery costs.

After further research and thought, I decided to move forward with Dr. Grigoryants. I was really impressed when Dr. Grigoryants walked into the room and touched on every concern that I had about my nose before I was able to share them with him. Dr. Grigoryants also has a great portfolio with amazing results. I’ve looked at pictures of his work on his site and many other sites and his nose jobs are the best that I’ve seen. Since my consultation, I have been in contact with Dr. Grigoryants via phone and email and he has been very pleasant. He is very knowledgeable and I’m very confident in his work and know that he will do a great job.

I’m also sharing this experience with my sister. We are scheduled for our surgery on the same day. She had a rhinoplasty approximately 20 years ago and her nose collapsed when her cast was removed.

We are due for our pre-op in a few weeks and I believe this is when we go into details about the results that we would like. I’m having a hard time deciding if I want a straight nose or slightly scooped. Dr. Grigoryants doesn’t do digital imaging, but I downloaded an app and was able to photoshop a couple of pictures. I like the results with the straight nose, but the slightly scooped seems more feminine. I will upload the pictures soon and if you have any input please share.

I’ll keep posting as anything new comes up.

Will you be posting before and afters of your nose? :) I'm thinking about going with Dr. Grigoryants for my rhinoplasty also. I have heard wonderful things about him.

Yes. I'll be posting pictures with and without makeup pre and post op. I want to document the process as accurately as possible.

Honestly,I think you results are beautiful! I inherited my father's nose as well and can relate! I like that your result is slightly less than perfect,it gives you a very natural look. You don't look like someone who had a "nosejob" if that makes sense. I mean it to be very complimentary!

Also,I couldn't really see the things that you pointed out,you just look really pretty. :)

You are so welcome! By the way , I scheduled my rhino for August 27th . I'm very excited,slightly nervous. I hope mine comes out as well as yours. :)

U look beautiful. I cannot believe how natural your nose looks but at the same time perfect. U look kinder and nicer. Much more attractive. Your rhino sold me. I will use your nose as exactly what I want for my surgery. I have the exact same nose and look attractive like your before but you looked negative and complicated.

lol! Thanks! I'm actually a nice and easy person, but I agree my old nose made me look a bit harsh.

Thank you for starting your story on RealSelf. I feel for your sister who had her nose collapse. Mine did that over time after my primary rhino (doc took out too much cartilage).

I hope you'll keep us posted throughout this process. Here's a list of pre- and post-op tips that might come in handy for you.

Thanks for sharing! I'm also scheduled for a rhino with Dr. G, currently in March but hoping to move it up to December. Would you mind telling me what app you used to photoshop your results? I'd like to do the same!

plastic surgery simulator lite. Hopefully they can schedule in for December and good luck!

Same to you! :) And thanks!
