I'm still very happy with my nose and it's been 1 whole year +. I don't even think about it anymore and my insecurity of my nose is gone. I'm happy to have a more feminine, and smaller nose (I think so anyways). I highly recommend going for it if it's something that you want and have complete confidence in your doctor.

Looks really good and fitting :) Good job!
Thank you!
You are so beautiful! I love your nose :)
Thank you! I just read your post! Amazing! I've been thinking about getting my boobs done but I can't commit. Do you still have feeling? If you don't mind me asking.. Someone told me that could happen
Well in my case everything is normal, lol. But of does take a while to get the feeling back. You go through a phase where your nipples hurt from even being in a bra, to a phase where they are kinda numb, and then back to normal again :) but it's the best decision I ever made! It just makes me feel sexy, and I never felt that way prior to the surgery. I don't want to be an enabler, but go for it! haha :)
Thank you for your honest reply! it looks really good and natural! I'm still thinking about it! Haha
I just read your story. What a great outcome. You look absolutely stunning. I am where you were but not even a month post op yet. I am pleased so far but my dr. says that my results are still very swollen so I enjoyed looking at your post knowing that mine will refine like he says that it will.
Thank you! I was crying that I looked swollen and pug like in the beginning but my doctor and mother reassured me that it will look great. Just have patience and focus on your daily life. And in no time it will look just how you want it! Btw yours looks really good! You can already tell the result look great!
You nose fits your face perfectly and makes you look even prettier. What a great outcome!
you look so pretty!! you have now a perfect nose
Thank you!

10 month post-op! Wow!

I can't believe it has been 10 months since my surgery! I am loving my nose, I feel like it has always been on my face! Feels/ looks so natural and I couldn't be happier. I would recommend dr. Grigoryants go anyone. I am very pleased with my new look and the procedure was quick and painless, the way it should be! And My swelling has gone so much since 3 months post- op and continues every month!

You look gorgeous girl! Thanks for the update.
Lovveeee it!! [RS bleep]
Well done Karen, your nose is in perfect harmony with your face. You were beautiful before but now you are gorgeous!
Your new nose fits you really well! Looks great!
Wow, your nose turned out amazing! It fits your face so beautifully and it looks so natural on you - more natural than your original nose. I especially love the little scoop (I think this doctor gave you a better result than the morph you posted in your images). Can you tell us a little about your de-swelling process. You mentioned 3 months post-op, was there minimal de-swelling up to 3 months and then it accelerated 3 months post-op? Did you do anything special - diet, massage, injections? TIA
Yeah, it appeared that the first 6 months were still a bit swollen and then the last 6 months it came down a lot! I didn't do anything, just left as is. I put the tape on my nose for only 1 month after ( I think I was supposed to continue for 3 months but was too lazy)

I'm not noticing a lot of swelling anymore, but one day a week a notice that it seems a bit swollen, but nothing too drastic. i actually forget to tape my nose at night very often :/ i hope it will be alright. other then that i am enjoying my new nose and very pleased with the results! i couldn't ask for a better surgery or doctor! thanks dr. Grigoryants!!

Great results! You were already pretty but now prettier.
Wonderful and natural looking result! Congrats.
I love it! I know, I feel like I can't tell how swollen mine really is by looking at it but I think that's because my old nose I felt was huge in comparison to this swollen petite nose! lol...your results are beautiful, Dr. G did another excellent job!
You look beautiful!
You look great! Have many people noticed the change in your appearance?
