Still happy
Hi guys, I am still very happy with my new nose. Every few months I see some more small changes. I'm trying to find better before pictures, I feel I can't find many :(
I wouldn't say my nose is radically smaller, but it is shaped much better and the tip is higher making it look cuter.

I am so happy! Swelling is still going down. It's gotten much thinner in the middle especially. I can't get over how non-noticeable it is in pictures now. Thank you Dr. G!!!

I researched for 3 years before having surgery. I found Dr. G from all his wonderful Realself reviews. I'm so happy I made the right choice!!! I couldn't have found a better surgeon. He is kind, caring, humble, and very very skilled! He is absolutely wonderful and my experience couldn't have been better.
I hadn't met him until the night before surgery and I literally walked out of my consultation with a huge smile on my face. It turned out I had a deviated septum as well but my insurance isn't covered by him- oh well! I had brought a few pics of noses I liked and he looked at one and immediately started listing all the things that were wrong and said I already had a better nose than her. I was cracking up, but I immediately knew he was very knowledgeable about this. I felt 100% confident in my choice. He also gave me the option between shaving the bridge into a slope and that way the tip would be lifted, or he could just lift the tip itself. I chose the latter. I have a straight profile naturally and I didn't want that to change. I said I think a slope is cuter but straight is more natural and he agreed.
I didn't get nauseous after surgery. Just tired and sensitive to sound kind of like having the flu. My cast came loose by day 5 and he said that was fine- it happens with oily skin.
Make sure you have water by your bedside. You will sleep breathing through your mouth and you will wake up with very intense dry throat for the week your cast is on. If you are traveling I recommend Comfort Inn near Oldtown Pasadena Eagle Rock. It was very clean and around $110 a night.
Well I can't say how happy I am with the results already! I expected an emotional roller coaster like some people say, but I have to admit I've known I was happy since a few days after my cast came off and haven't worried since. The biggest thing I was worried for was anticipating that emotional rollercoaster- can't believe I won't even have to go through it like I was convinced I would. I also can't believe my nose will look even better in a year. He said I have thick skin and 80% of swelling will be gone in 1 year, but 3 years for final results. For now I'm focusing on the new guy I'm seeing. I told him about surgery 2 weeks before I had it and he was totally supportive! Im happy to have a distraction to take my mind off my nose- good timing haha
The biggest difference I see right now is the liftedness in the tip. I didn't realize I had a droopy tip until he operated lol! Having it higher makes it look sooo much smaller. Overall the cartilages don't look smaller yet because of swelling. But having it lifted makes it look muuuch less noticeable already.
Feel free to comment with questions or comments! I will keep updating as swelling decreases:)

Provider Review
He was always polite, humble, to the point, and knew what he was talking about. I really can't say enough good things about Dr. Grigoryants
