Just had my pre op with Dr. Vladimir Grigoryants . My consult went great he answered all my questions but he was a little rushed during my pre op appointment which makes me a little nervous. I was not able to express to him exactly what I wanted. He told me what he would want to do with my nose which sounded great but since I was not able to show him my picture inspiration nor tell him my major concerns. Will I get a chance before my surgery or does he just jump right into it?
He also did not seem to remember which patient I was, I know he meets many patients a day which may make it hard to remember but I did not feel like I was taking care of in the best way. This makes me a little uncomfortable. Should I be nervous?

Today my mother drove me up to surgery appointment with Dr. Girgoryants. The wait time was insane but I expected that already due to all the reviews on here. My appointment was at 11am, they did not end up calling me back till 2pm and my procedure was over at 6pm.
Your not allowed to eat or drink water so expect to be hungry. Dr. Girgoryant's team was lovely they explained the procedure and Dr. Goldstein (the anesthesiologist) is amazing. He makes you feel comfortable as you drift to sleep. Dr Girgoryants was fast as always, he explained what he would do in less than a minute. Therefore, don't be alarmed if you think you are not getting special treatment it just how he works.
After the procedure, I woke up with so much pain. As if my face was hit by a train. Of course with this pain I couldnt help but feel regret. But that quickly went away after I ate and took a pain killer.
I am able to breath through my nose (not entirely) which surprised me. Even though I still have to depend on my mouth for oxygen I steal little breaths of air through my nose here and there.
Hopefully the healing process is fast for me! Iwill post more pictures after my cast is removed.
If anyone knows any advice to help with the swelling please let me know.

You're going to swell up alot! I can tell by the bruising on your bridge.
All my bruising was going by 14 days post op. I used heaps bruise cream and would layer it on before bed and let it soak in at night. Make sure you ice your face lots, that'll help.
Can't wait to see your results. I'm 20 days post op, and I'm struggling still with my front view.

I chose DR. G based on his results and reviews, not by how short or long the consult was.
I have minimal bruising and pain and I can't wait to get my cast off!
