Finally Getting my Nose Done w/ Dr. Grigoryants!

I’m loving how my nose is looking! Looking forward to it slimming down and looking way less swollen! I’ve always wanted a nice defined shape and love how it looks from this side. Other side is way more swollen and less defined. He performed the closed rhino through the other nostril so I’m thinking that’s why. But so far so good!

I had my surgery the 16th at the surgery center in LA. Went very smoothly, I was the first case of the day so got there very early. I was extremely anxious going in so the nurse asked for some anti anxiety meds for me which definitely helped put me at ease. Dr G fixed my deviated septum, put grafts in, shaved my dorsal hump and turbinates narrowed my nostrils and slightly lifted up my tip. I said I didn’t want a ski slope from the profile so he said he lifted it up as minimially as he deemed possible. The first 6 days I’d say we’re absolutely miserable haha The bed at my Airbnb was so uncomfortable and I actually was in a lot more pain than I thought I would be. I pretty much took all of the Norco said he had prescribed and then I was taking some Tylenol on top of that. I think I just got a lot of work done so I might just be a one off kind of situation I’m sure not everyone and is in as much pain as I was. I am almost two weeks out and I’m pretty happy. There’s obviously a lot of swelling and I know I’m going to have to be patient for the next year but I think that this is a really good start! I still have a lot of internal swelling inside of my nostrils and my upper lip is still almost completely frozen so hopefully that will go away in the next month or so!
Also, forgot to add... apparently I’m allergic to the white paper tape for the drainage collection! I have a huge scar on my upper left cheek that you can kind of see in some pictures I’m hoping that will go away. I keep putting Mederma on it!

So the date of my surgery is fast approaching and I’ve been having second thoughts. The more reviews that I look at the more that I notice a lot of the noses look a bit wide. I’m really looking for a long thin nose so now I’m super anxious. I know that if I cancel the surgery or rebook it it won’t make me feel good in the long run because I am super unhappy with the way I look now. Here are some really bad pictures of me that are motivation for me to go through with the surgery hahah.
