Okay, so I've been waiting for such a long time to get my nose done. I've always felt like it looked like a witches nose. It's triangular in shape and it's droopy and it's, according to Grigoryants, too big for my face. I had my consultation with him December 23 and it was a bit of a drive. The office was very small and crowded and although my appointment was at 4 o'clock I didn't see him until maybe 430 and the consultation was only 10 minutes of even that. I had been on real self for a while and I read a lot of good things about him and seen some great noses. I have no doubt he would give me what I want but the soonest surgery date is in August and I'm honestly feeling like it's just too long to wait. Either way, I took the date but it's still just too far so I was looking at other surgeons who might just have closer dates. I'm just being very impatient I know...

So only my close peeps know I'm going to get my nose done. I told my family and they were very supportive given the fact that they're old school. Now I'm just looking to save up as much money as I can for my surgery and I'm going to start looking into personal loans or maybe even a credit card. If you guys have any suggestions I would love to hear them! I'll be uploading pictures soon
And so the wait begins...

Seeking closer Surgery date!

So i saw this worked with another Grigoryants girl. I would love to have a closer date. My appointment is in August and that's just so far off. If anyone would like to swap days for anything closer i would really appreciate it.

Please call his office and ask them to put you on the wait list for an earlier appointment time. They will do this and it is apparently VERY likely you will get in much sooner than august; people have up to a month before surgery to cancel without a penalty, is my understanding.

I did that. But nothing. I've been calling and asking if there are any openings but nothing so far. August is just too far.

Oh, I'm sorry. I know it does seem far away, but I really do think we're better off waiting for an appointment with the right surgeon than rushing into things with someone who might be not as perfect a match. I hope you get in sooner!

In case you haven't had surgery yet, a "summer nose job" isn't necessary ideal. Depending on the thickness of your skin, post-op swelling could be significant, for weeks or months. You're also supposed to avoid direct sunlight on your nose for about the first 6 mth.s.

Almost getting my nose done with Dr. G!

So, i haven't really been updating because Ive been so busy with school but my search for a closer date has gone well. Ive been called up a few times but the new date would either interfere with my finals or was in like 3 days after i received the call so short noticed wasn't the best. I am getting a second job and i think that i might just stick with my august date but still hoping for a May or June. Honestly, i'm just so excited for my new nose that i just want it now but i must be patient! Ill be adding some pictures of my nose both front and profile view. i don't mind the front view its my profile view that i have issues with. Its pretty droopy and when i smile it only looks bigger and droopier! it just makes me feel so self-conscience. im still calling in every other day to check if there is an open slot.

A ten minute consultation? Boo! I've experienced that with different doctors and it makes me feel unimportant. I hope you're able to get an earlier surgery date. Please keep us updated!
