I am 9 days away from my primary rhinoplasty w Dr Grigoryants and just writing that is making me nervous! I’m equally excited though ...but it’s extremely nerve wracking to not know the exact outcome and if I’ll be happy. I’m one of those people who didn’t have a big problem with my nose until the last maybe ten years (I’m in my thirties) I swear after kids my nose got bigger. From the front (and from a distance lol) my nose doesn’t look so bad but from close up and my three quarter view it’s way too projected and bulbous. I also do have a bit of an Italian size nose . I have been morphing my nose for years after I took pictures to make the tip smaller and after a while I just decided to do something about it. I chose Dr G because of his before and afters and also because I know someone who went to him and looks great/ and she knows people that’s been to him and they look great. I’ve really read over all reviews both good and bad and the bad reviews are not enough for me to not go to him. I think it’s important to have clear communication and be crystal clear about what you want.
I have only told a couple of people about this because years ago I mentioned to my sister about getting my nose done and it was met with an unsupportive “don’t you dare!” So I guess I’ll just have to show up Christmas with a new face LOL. Something else that makes me feel badly- My mom is passed and I know she would not be happy about this but at the same time I feel like I need to live my life and do what makes ME happy. My husband is supportive even though he thinks I’m crazy and the couple of friends I’ve told are supportive as well but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous about reactions from people afterward. Anyone else feel that way? I’m just rousing I’ll be happy you guys. Anyway the count down is on. Any encouragement is greatly appreciated right now!

Hi! You and I are in the same boat. I know exactly where you are coming from and what you are going through. I’m getting my nose done with Dr. G in September and nobody knows except for my husband. My nose is not an ugly nose but it feels like it is too big for my face. I liked my pictures in my 20’s (especially the overexposed ones) but I don’t have that many pictures of me in my 30’s (I have been deleting them). I’m in my early 40’s and I am going to change that. All I can hope for is a smaller better looking nose that won’t ruin my pictures. I’m excited for you and will be following your review closely. Good luck.

Paganka thank you! I will be sure to update

And yeah how funny I didn’t have a problem in my twenties either!

I went to him for nose job. He rushes his patients, takes very little time to listen to your desires, he will just do the minimum and ge dies a cookie cutter approach. The result was very very subtle fir me, snd my tip is far too projected and I honestly need a revision now. I paid $13k because he said he needed to do an septoplasty also I eish I had gotten more opinions. I thought since he was busy he must be good. But I highly regret chosing hik it was a waste of money and time and now im left with a nose I dint like. I wish someone gad warned me about him.

@jhall2010 thank you. Because of your statement here I’m going to forego the 10k and hours of research I put into this decision. Even though your account has no pictures or review up of the doctor.... this comment by a stranger is enough for me to change my mind... wow. That’s scarcasm by the way. Like what are your intentions? Do you think someone will just change their decision and lose a chunk of money over your lack of details, proof and credibility? If you want to help someone than post a detailed review with pictures of the doctor and let people decide for themselves.

Love this, you go girl! Lol wish you luck and seamless recovery!

Well said!

Hi, your story is very similar to mine. I didn't have any real issues with my nose until my late twenties (after having 3 children). I only had the support of my husband and even he was not completely on board with it. I didn't tell anyone until after I had the surgery and the very few I did tell weren't too happy about it. My suggestion would be not to say anything. You'd be surprised at just how many people won't even notice anything has changed. Only one person noticed that I had my nose done. Even my own family said they wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't said anything. I too went to Doctor G. I am two years post op and I loved the results when the cast came off and I still love them now.

Night1993 thank you so much. Great advice and that’s pretty much what I plan to do. And I’m so happy for you that you love your result!

Night1993, would you mind sending me a before and after pic? I’m scheduled with Dr G in feb, 2019

Sure I can do that. I used to have pictures up but I was worried that someone I know would see them. I'm not ashamed of my surgery but I don't want my pictures passed around by people I know.

Good Luck on your surgery! I'm excited to see your outcome! :)

I’m nervous. Don’t get me wrong I WANT to do this but I’m having a hard time imagining what my nose will look like. There’s no going back now just have to have faith. Here’s a couple more pics I show you profile and three quarter view (which is the worst bc it’s bulbous and one side is more bulbous than the other). I have little never seen anyone with a nose like mine. I’m hoping I have a more feminine Briton of what I have now. And that it will fit my face better.

Ahhh goodbye potato nose!! Tomorrow is the day. So nervous and excited. I think I have everything planned out for the week for my recovery. Just can’t wait to get the surgery and first recovery week behind me. I think the anticipation causes more anxiety than the actual recovery. I can’t believe this is happening tomorrow.
