Rhinoplasty with Dr. Grigoryants - Finally! - Glendale, CA

Hey guys!

Thank you for all the love. Some of you had asked for before and afters, so I am posting them.
I may take some of these down soon, but if you private message me a request, I can email them to you directly.

So far, I'm very happy with the results! Dr. G is amazing!

Hi all,

I am now 10 days post op and day by day liking my nose more and more. It's still very swollen and uplifted, but I see improvements every single day.

Cast removal was super easy and the doctor spent a good amount of time with me explaining the cleaning process. I'm using olive oil, saline spray and neosporin (just in case).

My breathing wasn't 100% when we took the cast off. I still felt very stuffed. I wanted to vacuum the inside of my nose.

As much as I prepared mentally for the cast removal, it was still very hard to see myself looking like an avatar. My nose looked bigger than before (lol) and there was way too big of a gap between my eyes. Scary, but patience is the only cure for this!

I still have some bruising under my eyes and definitely lots of swelling. My jaw is bruised yellow, and the blood vessel in my eye popped so that's starting to go away, as well.

Anyway, I wanted to post some new pics for you all to follow the progress...

So everyone was right... Day three was bad. I was so swollen I could barely open my eyes. No pain but just super congested. I feel like the splint in my nose is sitting on a sensitive area so I constantly feel like a sneeze is coming on.

I was scheduled to work today but could barely speak on the phone with all of this packing so I had to cut my day short. Luckily, I was able to finish up some stuff - I'm not sure how I got through it. I should've taken today and tomorrow off. I will still try to get through the day tomorrow but I'm scheduled to get the cast removed tomorrow afternoon. Yay!

I can't wait to have a working nose.

I've been eating okay. Obviously I'm not taking any big bites out of anything and really not eating as many solids but trying to get as many pineapples down the shoot as possible.

I'm not wearing the drip pad anymore during the day but I keep it on at nights just in case. I've been sleeping surprisingly well. I think a blood vessel in my eye burst hopefully that will heal quickly. I just keep icing my eyes and definitely feel my swelling going down. Purple is turning yellow and I'm probably going to still have terrible bruising and swelling tomorrow when we remove the cast. Not too thrilled to look at myself in the mirror afterwards but still anxious. I know it won't be the final result so im hoping i keep my expectations to a minimum tomorrow.
