DOIN' THE DAMN THING - Glendale, CA

ORIGINAL POST

Hi! I have been reading reviews on here for months...

Hi! I have been reading reviews on here for months in anticipation for my rhinoplasty on December 21st!! I'm writing this review before because now I'm having second thoughts. I'm only 18 so obviously, my parents are really concerned that I pick a good doctor. I picked Dr.Grigoryants because I fell in love with his online before nad after pictures. It was the first doctor I had ever seen where I liked all of his rhinoplasties. I w thought Dr.G did the exact style of noses that I liked. However, now my parents are starting to question me and make sure I truly want to go through with this. I did read some negative reviews on realself, even though there were very few it is still concerning. I also am aware of the fact that he has so many reviews and does so many noses not all of them will turn out perfect. I am just concerned that my front wont turn out as good as my side.I just was wondering if anyone else had these second thoughts and was wondering if they went through with it? Also, it would be so great to hear from some of you since I need to decide by tomorrow. I'm so stressed and emotional now that it's so close. Just don't want to make a mistake.
I'll upload some photos of my nose, I am for sure getting a rhinoplasty. It's the doctor I'm most concerned about.

I had second thoughts before mine. It was like my gut was telling me nooo, but I ignored that feeling and went through with it and I soo regret it.

My surgery is coming up soon as well. I think if you are definitely going to do a rhinoplasty then you've chosen an excellent doctor. I have been doing research on rhinoplasty surgeons for the past year and a half and I ended up choosing Dr. Grigoryants based on his success rate and his method (closed rhinoplasty). I'm traveling clear across the country and spending several thousand dollars more just to have him do my nose. There were a couple other surgeons I looked into but just wasn't confident with. I really don't think there's a better rhinoplasty surgeon out there. I know he's not perfect no one is. It's always a risk no matter who you pick. Good luck with your decision.

The other doctors I like into were Sam Rizk (New York), Michael Salzhauer (Florida), Eric Joseph (New Jersey), and Rollin Daniel (California). I didn't go so far as to schedule a consultation with them but I researched them quite a bit. I think they are are very skilled but Dr. G does closed rhinoplasty and that's what sold me.

Ok, thank you! I consulted with Dr. Daniel but Grigoryants is much better. I understand no doctor is perfect. I'm actually going with Dr.G I just paid for the rest of my surgery so it's done. :)

My advice to you get a Dr with 5 stars. And male sure he understands what type of change you want and what you don't want to be changed. Be very specific and serious it your nose so you have all the right to get extra picky. But if your nervous have another talk with him so he can reassure you that he knows what you want.

Everyone gets the pre-surgery jitters and I have them too. My biggest concern is not that he'll ruin my nose. I hate my nose so much that I doubt be could make it worse. My biggest concern is that it will still be crooked and won't make much of a difference and I'll have spent all that time, money, and effort for nothing.

Dr G is a great surgeon. I'm definitely going with him once I've saved up enough. What date did you book?

Good luck!! I have those thoughts of regret too..more like scared of how the front will look but it's my nose so ima be picky and go over what I want 10million times if I have to the day off so he understands and I can be at ease. I'm 2 days after you..nerve-wracking

Yes, he's busy but it's your face at the end of the day. It still doesn't even feel real!

From all the pictures I've seen here and on his website, I really like his work. If you like his style of noses then I think you will be happy with the results.
Good luck! I will be following your journey.

It's not as sore as you think it will be! I had mine on the 17th and not much pain at all, just a bit like having a cold which does get annoying haha. Hope healing goes well for you :)
