It can be exciting- the promise of change or nerve racking when you enter into a procedure of one you have already experienced. Revisions are unique because now as the patient you have probably done more research this time around, but with so many doctors out there it’s hard to know who is truly good! This can add to our fear, because now we know just enough to be dangerous! You know what you don’t want, which is as important as knowing what you do! That’s where I was.

I researched a lot of doctors and this time around I wanted an artist. Someone I thought would look to find the balance in my face. No doctor is a miracle worker, but a skilled plastic surgeon can bring out the balance in almost any face. Balance is what makes us the most attractive, in my opinion.

My past Rhinoplasty with another doctor left my face out of balance and I felt unattractive.

Dr. Grigoryants examined my face during my consultation and mirrored my thoughts in speaking with me about what his observations were and of course, he listened to what my desires were.

I am so happy and I am only 21 days out of surgery! The projection, shape and balance with my face are amazing to me- so thankful to have chosen and been in his skilled hands. I love my new nose!!! I look forward to the next several months as my swelling reduces even more.

Pain was minimal, recovery has been pretty smooth. I would recommend this Doctor and his staff to anyone! He really is an artist who understands the face. Many can call themselves a plastic surgeon, but not all have the artistic skill to achieve the best results, believe me- I have been through it and endured those bad results for almost three years! That can really affect your confidence.

If I ever need other procedures, I will return. In the meantime, if you are researching – I can only tell you, I am so glad this is where I chose. Look at his gallery of before and afters, these pictures tell you the story- Best in the biz

Thank you for sharing your story with us.  Wonderful to hear that you had a successful revision.  Did the doctor harvest cartilage from other parts or your body?  How long from your primary to your revision?  I would love to see photos when and if you're willing to share them.  Best of luck for a fast recovery!

I am willing to share pics, and will post them a little later. I had my primary in June 2009, with a doctor in Orlando, Florida. That doctor had placed an implant in my nose bridge and had been very aggressive in removing my cartilage from the lower portion of my nose. This erased the cupids bow in my lips, created a small hump- yet my nose seem flatter to me - with little projection. Overall look was not good. Dr. Grigoryants consult with me pointed out the issues I already felt, so I knew we were on the same page! He harvested cartilage and material from my ear and side of my head. My bridge feels smooth now, compared to that lump I would feel when I ran my finger over it before. I see subtle changes everyday and even a slight return of my cupids bow in my lips due to the raising of the tip. It was all I could of asked for. It is worth every bit to have a doctor who knows what he is doing! Thank you for the positive comment!

If you don't mind me asking, what was the cost of yours?
