22 Years Old, Bulbous Tip, Ready for Rhinoplasty - Glendale, CA

One year!

WORTH IT$9,500
I cannot believe it has been over a year since I made one of the biggest decisions in my adult life! I am so incredibly happy and confident! I do not think I could have chosen a better doctor! I was told to call in whenever for my follow up appointment, but because it has been a bit hectic with the holidays / I recently accepted a full-time job I think it would be best to go in two years. Besides, Dr. G said my nose would still have some swelling even after the one year mark. I'm totally satisfied with where I'm at now though. It's still my nose, just modified and a LOT more aesthetically pleasing, at least in my eyes! Not gonna lie I'm still thinking about the lip fillers... I just think he is such an amazing doctor with a great eye. I saw another review of a girl who went for her post op check up and got very natural fillers while she was there and she just looks amazing! If not, then at least get rid of my harsh smile lines. Super annoying when my makeup settles in them UGH! I don't think I'd ever get surgery on my body for now only because I'm 23, really enjoying the gym, seeing progress, and feeling good. Also I don't really want to get "addicted" to surgery if that's really a thing. Anyway, I'm rambling now I just wanted to update you all and let you know I'm still VERY happy! Unfortunately, I'm not comfortable sharing pictures anymore, but the comments on my previous posts can help vouch for the great job he did! Mind you I was still swollen! Hope those of you considering find this helpful. :)

I do understand that he does great work and your review is a testimony to that and I believe your review is true and helpful, but there are no pictures, even with the eyes blurred, or whatever, and for someone looking for pictures of a before picture with a bulbous tip, I can't find them. Would love to see your review with pictures. Without them, it's really not THAT helpful. BECAUSE there are MANY positive reviews for Dr. Grigoryants, but not with bulbous nose before pictures. Hope that you will want to be helpful to others considering this doctor and change your mind about posting before and after pictures.

Before & After

Sorry guys! I wasn't aware how helpful my pictures were until I received all these messages and comments after taking them down. I got a bit nervous that someone would find me and ask me about it. It happened to a fellow Dr. G patient on RealSelf. Another one also had her pictures taken too and that leaves me a little uneasy! Nothing has changed though I am still very happy with my results and recommend Dr. Grigoryants for rhinoplasty! I have uploaded this before and after for those who still need it. Not sure if I'll actually keep it up. Hoping you all understand xx

Perfection! You look great!
Awww thank you so much!
you look so pretty!! thank you for updating us. Are you able to breath fine?
No issues breathing! I think it swells a lot if I drink though which is tough to avoid because I go out with friends a lot haha
How's breathing for you? :) Hope you're well !:)
Your nose looks great even this early on! I can't wait to see your results after the 1 year mark :)
How is your nose? thank you for updating us

Month and a half

Hi everyone! I had my cousin take pictures with her camera of me today and honestly loved every picture. I'm not meaning to sound conceited or cocky, only amazed and happy with my results. I've always wanted to have this great self esteem! Lol. My family says they notice the difference. My mom claims to see it every day! She says she can't believe that the swelling will continue to go down too considering it hasn't even been two months yet. We're both very very happy with my results so I can only imagine how much more happier I'll be in several more months. I always think of how Dr. G mentioned that some of his patients come back for more steroid injections on the tip. Some have gone back about 8 or 9 times. I'm hoping I won't need that and I'll continue to enjoy being on cloud nine. Easily one of my greatest decisions in life. Not much else to update on. As always feel free to ask any questions/private message me! Wishing everyone a happy recovery!
