Seventeen months after surgery
WORTH IT$8,500
Here is a front view at seventeen months post-op. - The left photo is what my nose looks like when photographed without an upper light source, and the right photo is my nose photographed in direct upper light. As you can see, there is still an amazing improvement from my pre-surgery nose, but when my nose catches light, it has a very obvious S shaped (crooked) bridge. The crookedness of the bridge seems to get worse with time. I'm not sure if the swelling was camouflaging it a bit in the beginning or if it is just not holding shape as it heals, but hopefully it doesn't get any worse as time goes on.

I think you got a great result! I have this twisted look after my revision with Dr G as well, but it is not from the surgery. I had it before any surgery and wish it was addressed or fixed, but I think this stuff happens in nature and like you said - have to be realistic. No nose is perfect in every lighting. Again, loving your results and how much he reduced your tip area, very pretty :)

did you notice the crookedness from the beggining? I am 6weeks post op and I notice it with flash photography

It was hidden with the swelling in the beginning, but became more obvious over time. Now, at almost three years post-op, it is still there, but a little less obvious again.

Fourteen months post-op
First off, I want to say that I am incredibly happy with my results. The look of my nose is improved beyond what I could have ever expected. -That being said, there are a few things that I have experienced that should be taken into consideration by anyone looking to move forward with this procedure.
1. Numbness - The tip of my nose is still very stiff and numb, even now at over a year post-op. It's not so terrible that it would stop me from doing it over if I had to, but it is a constant reminder, and it feels very odd.
2. It's not perfect. As much as my nose has improved, there are still little imperfections that remain. I have a small nodule on one side that formed after surgery, and I still feel that my tip and nostrils are not exactly as I would have liked them. - I knew going in that perfection wasn't guaranteed, so I feel that I had realistic expectations. -
Please keep in mind that I would do this ten times over if I knew I would have this same result again, and I think Dr. Grigiryants is an absolute genius. I'm just writing this to keep it real for anyone that is considering rhinoplasty in the future. Good luck to you all!

Hi! I read your review! I got surgery 6 days ago and my cast off yesterday. My side profile is good but my front is not. I look like I have asymmetric nostrils, a pig nose, and wide bridge. My tip is also hard as a rock and my bridge is squishy. My columella has a little hard bump on it. Have u or did u experience any of these things after your cast removal and did they subside? I'm so nervous that my nose will stay like this and be asymmetric. Yours looks great.

My nose was very different at six days post-op than it is now. Its shape changed daily for the first few months due to swelling. I also had many of the issues you've mentioned. -But I'm sure that time will resolve most if not all of your concerns. Patience is key! Good luck!

You have such a beautiful facial structure. Your new nose compliments the rest perfectly!

I really hope my nose turns out looking as lovely as yours.

I hope things are going well a month post! :)
I'm mostly just trying to be as honest as possible so that anyone considering this surgery has a good idea of what they may experience.
-If the bridge continues to twist, I will make a follow up appointment, but if it has completely settled, I'll remain very happy with the outcome. :)
