I am so grateful to all who have posted their stories with photos here on RS. So posting mine too! :)
I wanted rhino since 12 years. Now 29. From Europe. As researching so many different doctors I decided that the money and location doesn't matter, just need to find right doctor with handwriting/style that I like.

What I want to be done:
- remove hump (would like to have straight profile with supatrip break)
- straighten croockness (have broken my nose 2 times and its crooked since)
- lift the droopiness of the tip (I have droopy tip, especially when I smile. lift the tip a little bit to make it more cute and feminine. But not too upturned or short.)

Doctors I have considered:

- Gustav Aniansson (Sweden) 
When I found him I really liked his before and afters. Booked the consultation and bought the plain tickets to see him. And first time in my life, I missed the plain (and I travel a lot) ! Took it as a sign to search on. Now looking back, I still think he does great noses, but all one style: small, petite and scooped (realised that watching his videos, on photos it doesn’t show so much). Too small for my taste. But what I really like- all his noses are nicely straight and thin from the front after surgery.
- Vladimir Grigoryants (USA)  
Actually I was not impressed by his before/afters at first as many others. But as I searched and searched for doctors, his positive reviews kept catching my eye. And seeing so many success storys finally convinced me - I am booked in December with him. I think I have looked trough all reviews that I can find about him on internet and as I am 100% sure about his profiles, I actually dislike many of his after fronts - too wide for my taste. So many thin noses will look so much wider after :( (but still almost every of them in general looks better than before). I will email him about my worry and let you know what he answers.
- Vladislav Grigoryants (Russia) 
Found him just recently researching Vladimir Grigoryants. Actually quite like his before/afters, more natural look (but again maybe too natural, in some cases the tip is still droopy afterwards). Why he got my attention? He is much closer to my country and so much more affordable! He have done nice work with crooked noses. Seems to be quite well known in Russia. But I can’t find much patient reviews about him with photos. But thinking on writing to him also, to see what he thinks of my nose case :)

I am really grateful to hear your feedback on my thoughts. And also if you know some more super-good doctors then let me know. I am booked with dr.G, but I just need to be sure there is no better one than him (keywords : crooked nose, hump, don’t want to end up with wide nose) ;)

I think it's a good thing you didn't went with Gustav Aniansson, if you google him you'll see he had some major (not so good) publicity involving a patient who died. Beside that I think you should go with a doctor who's work you like and you trust. Please keep us updated on your journey!

I always stumble upon Vladislav (Russia) on Instagram and it seems like his noses always turn out perfect. Vladimir (USA) makes all his noses look the same, they look good...but all the same. My friend got her nose done by him and 5 years later it is starting to droop and has the "inverted V". It looks pretty fake actually. If Vladislav (Russia) is closer to you, I would just go with him.

I am booked to have a op with Dr Vladmir next week. I have been following his reviews from 2 years ago and 2 ppl I know have had it with little over 3 years ago and he is amazing and they have not had any issues thank God. Don't listen to any negative reviews on here about him. Go with your heart. I Have travelled all the way from Australia too :)

Is this actually a depiction of what is considered a perfect nose?

Hi, if somebody is seeking for earlier date with Grigoryants I can offer mine.

My surgery is scheduled on Wednesday, December 30, 2015 and pre-operative appointment is scheduled for Tuesday, December 29, 2015 at 5:00pm.

I am afraid I am not able to collect needed amount for the surgery, so if somebody want to make rhinoplasty in the end of this year please message me :)
