Typo in previous post!
WORTH IT$7,000
I meant "wouldn't" damage my nose! Grigoryants would ruin his wonderful work! Disregard the bad typo, so simple of a mistake but totally different meanings. Yikes!

First follow-up appointment since cast removal!
I'm just a few days shy of the one month mark! Every day gets better and I feel more and more like myself. So far I am very pleased with the results. I saw Dr. Grigoryants today and he did some rigorous pushing and pressing on my nose. I was SO scared. I was waiting to hear it snap or crack but man is my nose strong and sturdy! He reassured me he would damage my nose but it was uncomfortable. He did this to sculpt the nose after pushing some swelling out. I trust him so I just let him do his job. He went over my before pictures and explained what the de-projecting of my nose did to my features. It's amazing how much re shaping a nose could make someone look so much better. I also asked him if he could summarize my procedure and he was nice enough to go through the whole report with me and even draw some pictures to better understand what he did. I am so glad he took care of my poor nose. Not only was he faced with a crumbly nasal bone but paper thin septum cartilage! Yet, he was able to take care of it in order to give me beautiful results but at the sane time prevent collapse. This man's expertise amazes me. So glad I chose him. I go back for another follow up in four months! :D

So elegant and refined. You look amazing! How is your front view doing? Would love to see a pic! Either way, congrats, this is a beautiful result :)

Thank you so much for your feedback! The front view I am not TOO comfortable with because the swelling is more evident that way. When it's taped it looks great. My doctor did some pushing and pressing to push fluid out so it look more swollen now. As soon as I feel more comfortable with the look I promise I'll post a picture. For now, tilted head and profile pictures will do.

ahhh, haha i feel your pain! i was so scared when he pushed on my nose after cast removal and then again on my one month check up! but hey, it's still standing! :] it looks great!

I'm a bit traumatized! I kept playing it over and over again in my head. The fear of it breaking! But I am pretty blown away by how strong it is given that it got so many repairs and they're only one month old. Who knew noses were sturdy! Hopefully this was the first and last time for that. :/ Thank you!

22 Days Post-op Update!
So far so good! Every day my nose looks better. The swelling is still very present which is why I leave the tapes on for the day. My nose looks so refined and it is starting to grow on me. My nostrils seem to be evening out and the avatar look is almost gone. I have been able to breathe through my nose but gets build up rather quickly since it's still swollen in there and I believe I still have a few dissolvable stitches hanging around. The tip of my nose feels tight and hard since it's still swollen, I know that'll take the longest to swell down. Breathing feels like having a cold, it gets runny every now and then and itches a bit. I've been having this weird sensation in my right eye like allergies. In the morning only, it is teary and itchy and annoying because I have to keep wiping tears away. It takes me back to the recovery days where my eye got so swollen. I am looking forward to the skin on my nose looking good and clear again. Tomorrow I'll be seeing Dr. Grigoryants for my first check up since cast removal! I hope he says it's looking good.

Your nose is looking great! :] I thought my swelling was nearly gone a little over a month out and then overnight, I felt like my tip was very bulbous looking. I'd say at this point, most of my visible stitches were gone but at my check up Dr. G said I still have stitches along the bridge and tip which is my most tender spots still at this point.
August 14, 2014
Thank you! So does yours. Your review was actually one of the ones that helped through this process. I know I'm not even a month in but I definitely understand what you are talking about. My tip looks a bit bulbous and the sides of my nose being swollen make my nose look wider than normal. I think I also have a few stitches along the bridge.

Your nose seriously looks perfect! I literally have all the same problems that you did with your nose so this is making me feel so much better knowing that Grigoryants can fix all of it.
August 14, 2014
Thank you so much! I appreciate your response! I had a few complications because of the condition my nose was in, I had no idea it was fractured and my septum cartilage was so thin, but Grigoryants worked with it and I'll find out how well it's healed to this point in a few hours. I'm pretty please and I trust Grigoryants 100%.
