Got hit on my nose..
Mp1847April 7, 2017
WORTH IT$9,500
So when when my boyfriend and I were waking up this morning, my boyfriend rolled over and elbowed me super hard on the bridge of my nose. This is the first time I hit myself on my nose like this since my surgery and it hurt so bad. It didn't bleed and there's nothing visibly but I'm so nervous even though my nose is apparently supposed to be as strong as it was before surgery. I emailed dr grigoryants to make sure if every thing is okay so hopefully he answers me soon. Ever since I got my rhinoplasty I've been so paranoid about every little thing haha, thats the most stressful part of traveling for your surgery.. not being able to see your surgeon for check ups

Still really bad acne on my nose
Mp1847March 5, 2017
It's been a year since my surgery and the skin on my nose is still really bad! I have so many blackheads and I even break out here and there on my nose. On top of that, the skin is super oily and flakey. I tried so many skin care products and not much helped at all and I just recently stopped to see if maybe the products were the problem.. but still no change. I honestly don't know if this is normal so long after surgery, did anyone else experience this? any recommendations? Thanks :)

ahhh! lol. I'm a little over 2 weeks post op and I feel like I could fuel my city with the amount of oil on my nose. I'm flaky as well. So weird to be so super flaky and oily at the same time.

I know, so much oil and flakiness and my skin was never like this before!! worth it though lol

Try aloe Vera, the real stuff though from a health food store not the pharmacy brands

I love cutting open an Aloe Vera leaf and rubbing it on my skin -- so refreshing and healing for your skin. Great tip!

Drink hot water with lemon every morning. Make it the first thing that enters your body each day. Drink it as hot as you can take it with 1/3-1/2 lemon. Squeeze the lemon in the cup then put the whole wedge in the cup and cover with the hot water. I promise after only a few short days your overall skin will improve. It has so many health benefits but if you're your diligent each day- I promise ur works. After a month your skin will never have been better and you won't ever want to stop. Good luck

I've actually heard about doing this before and about all the great benefits it has! I think i'll try it, thank you!

Your welcome. My aunt is like 60 and has flawless skin, I asked her what she does and this is it. I started about 6 months ago and have never had better skin in my life, even when I tried proactive and all types of skin stuff. I never had horrible skin but I would break out quite often. It's hot here and my work is dirty, it isn't a good mix. But now since the hot lemon water I only slightly get a couple blemishes during my period. I really hope it helps you cause it can be a drag...

Honestly I agree with this. I've been drinking lemon water in the morning and throughout the day and my skin is much plumpier and more clear. What I've been told by a holistic skin specialist is that we put oils on our skin thinking it moisturizes but it doesn't actually provide any moisture. Better to use a humidifying substance like aloe (again real not generic brand fake stuff!) first and then layer on the oil to hold in the moisture. It's been working well for me also. So moisture from the inside and moisture from the outside makes happy happy skin :))) oh and minimizing fatty food because the sebaceous (oil) glands get overly greasy.

Omg but how amazing does your nose look...I'm in love with the shape. The tip is perfect.
March 8, 2017
I'm definitely going to update on whether it works for me! i'm excited to try this out and see :)
March 8, 2017

im 3.5 years out from rhino surgery and still have really bad skin on the tip of my nose. dry, flakey and blocked pores! i have tried all sorts of scrubs and nothing seems to fix the problem. If anyone has a good product to remove the blocked pores i would be ever so grateful
April 10, 2017
Yes thats exactly what my nose is like too right now! I'm really happy with the results but my skin is just horrible! I just picked up vitamins from the store that are supposed to help with skin, I'll keep you updated :)

E.M.K. I had clogged pores after my surgery which gave way to flaky peeling skin on my bridge. I still off and on have this problem. I d9 t know how severe yours is, but mine was mild and sometimes moderate. I think the dead skin not being removed leads to the pores clogging. I’ve never had acne in my life and what I had wasn’t really acne. They were small like black head, but not black. It looked more like a baby’s milia. Anyhow, I found that if you remove the dead skin with regularity the milia like things don’t occur. When I start getting flaky on my bridge I use a heavy duty cream day and night for 2 days. My dermatologist told me there really isn’t much of a difference between face creams and body ones. I use Alba Botanical Very Emollient Body Cream for my arms and legs and winter and this is what I use on my nose. Anyhow after 2-3 days the dry dead skin is easy to slough off in the shower. On the second or third day I take a long shower, like 20-30 minutes and at the very end I use cetaphil to wash my face and a semi coarse wash cloth to scrub my nose skin. Scrub lightly and just take a bit more time so you don’t aggravate your skin and create additional issues. It’s been about 2 years since my septorhinoplasty and for the past year or so I only need to do this about once a month. I don’t know if this helps, but it’s what has worked best for me.

I'm a little late updating this, but I have just passed my one year mark on February 11th. I honestly love my nose, I think majority of the swelling has gone down. Dr Grigoryants said it takes up to 2 years for it to fully go down though, so I believe the tip has a little more time to go for it to be all resolved.
I sort of feel like it's maybe a little bit crooked? But I honestly think that's due to the fact that my nose may have been like that before the surgery and that the swelling isn't fully gone. Either way, I love how my nose turned out and I completely recommend Dr Grigoryants.
Here are some pictures :) (sorry for my gross lipstick lol)

February 24, 2017
Of course! :) thank you so much! i'm very happy with my choice! i have hope for you as well, im sure everything will turn out great :)!
February 24, 2017
you look so pretty, what a big change after swelling went down. Thank you for updatng us
March 3, 2017
Thank you for updating us! I agree with the above comment, it has changed a lot since it was very swollen.
I changed my mind about Dr. Grigoryants a few months ago, because he seems to be better at doing primary nose surgeries than revisions.
I am glad that you are satisfied with your results. Enjoy your new nose!
March 5, 2017
Thank you!! I agree. After looking at some of the first photos I posted I can notice such a huge difference, they weren't kidding when they said that it would swell haha! I've actually seen a few people say that about him, I definitely think that a revision will be a lot more complicated so you deffs need a surgeon more experienced with that. I am excited for you and hope you find the perfect surgeon for your revision :)
March 5, 2017
Fantastic update and outcome! I needed your review so much as I am going through the early post op phases (physical and emotional) and yours thoughts and concerns were just like mine now and it really helped to see the difference a year will make. Because of your review I can breath a little easier. Thank you and I'm so glad you love your nose!
March 6, 2017
Thank you so much!! I agree, it's very nerve wrecking going through the healing process. I honestly think it's even worse than the actual surgery, I was so paranoid about everything during the healing. I'm super happy that everything turned out great and you really just do have to be patient :) I know its hard!! I wish you luck with everything <3
I totally understand! I've had to travel for major procedures and I hated not being able to run over if I needed something - maybe my surgeon liked it because I couldn't bug her as much ;)
Keep us posted on what you hear from your surgeon!
Yay! Happy for you :)
