A Bit Too Much 'Eek' in my Beak - Rhinoplasty with Dr Grigoryants

Thank you so much!! At this stage, although its hard to tell from the post-op pictures I have included, my tip is still very very swollen. This is why I havent included any front-on pictures yet. I would hate for someone to see them and decide that rhinoplasty is not for them because they assume my current tip is the final version and its not what they would hope for in terms of refinement/femininity/beauty. I am soon 10 months post-op and I think many people out there have a preconception that the results should be there now 100%. My surgeon has said that I have to wait at least 12 months post-op, probably something like 18 months. Will continue to post picture of the healing process though :)

Thank you so much! My tip is still very swollen so front view look less refined. My surgeon has said that I have another 6 months at least to go before I can consider the healing process ”done”. My tip no longer drops/looks witchy when I smile like it did before. Now it doesnt move at all. I should point out though that when I smile (I have a gummy smile) it looks sort of like my tip drops a bit but it is in actual fact because my nostrils move. The gum smile and nostril flare is not something that a rhinoplasty could cure, for this something like botox needs to be supplied to the cheek/upper lip area as the muscles in these areas are hyperactive. I hope what I said makes sense... Im going to write a long overdue post about tip swelling and why I havent posted any frontal pictures yet but if you have any more question just ask :) I hope everything goes well during your surgery, Im sure you will be happy, just bring plenty of inspo nose photos with you!

Aw thank you so much!! <3

Thank you so much! I can see from your profile that we both liked the same ”nose inspiration” picture, i.e. a straight profile (the lady with the headscarf). I brought that picture with me to my consultation even. I dont think a curved nose would have suited me too well as Im tall, at least thats what Dr G said. I also wanted a straight, feminine nise because thats what all my sisters have. I think it might be the light/angle/immidiate swelling that makes the post-surgery picture look like my nose is curved... Your nose is looking great, I cannot believe you are only a few months post-op!

Thank you, Paganka! <3
