WORTH IT$9,500
I'm two years post op and still love my nose. I deleted my photos awhile ago because I actually didn't tell my parents that I was getting this done and my mom was getting suspicious as to why she hadn't seen me at the time haha. She knows about Dr.G and knows about real self and I was really paranoid she was going to find my review before I told her myself. Anyways they know now and my sister has even had her nose done by dr. G (her surgery was may 3 2017 and she is very happy). Sorry it took so long for me to re-uplaod the pictures. I love my nose just as much today as I did when dr.g took the cast off. It really does take two years to heal so just be mindful of that if you think your tip is still puffy and swollen.

Looking fab. Do you think you are back to normal now like no blocked nose no pain ? Because I want to get mine done mid travelling or after. And need to know if this is do able. I'll probably just do it after travelling but I was just wondering x

honestly i felt fine after cast off. That day I went hiking and was completely fine. I never had any pain in my nose (i read on some reviews that people would get sharp pains randomly). The only thing that was ever sore was my tip and now that isn't really sore at all (only if i pinch it mildly hard do i feel the tenderness) My breathing is great too but that may just be because it was so bad before and I thought it was normal. I think that you would be okay traveling just listen to your body would be my only advice. Hope that helps!

First of all you look fabulous!
I was obiviously its a perfect nose now but how do you cope with it mentally now.
For example people you who know who have done it
When you meet new people..i guess not anymore self consious about it anymore right?
Bless you!

thank you! this might sound crazy but most of the time i don't pay any attention to it. I don't know if its because i was so sure that it was what i wanted or what but it literally was just kinda like "well, thank god i got that done" and move on. I know that this is not the norm... I have seen and read so many reviews and people are SOO emotional over their nose. I just simply never experienced any of that. Im not self conscious anymore :) I think that i recovered so well because, honestly, for me it was just about the surgery/the nose. I think that people who struggle a lot despite their beautiful results may have something else deeper going on that they are not aware of that is not related to the surgery. Very sad and i hope that they can move toward self acceptance. I am just very very happy with the results and myself. So far as people knowing.... my friends of 8 years didn't know I had it done till i told them lol and people don't care either they just are happy that i am happy (i simply do not surround myself with close minded judgmental people that would have an issue with my personal choices) I hope this helps! :)

I love your nose, I think it is perfect. It is not upturned, it is simply perfect. I was wondering if you told Dr. G what you were expecting, or just allowed him to do what he thought it would be perfect for you. Thank you for sharing!!

thank you for your nice comment! I did not say anything to dr.g other than "i trust you" my pre op was literally 2 minutes long haha i guess he just knew what to do thank goodness!

Deviated septum
NattttJune 3, 2015
Hey guys! I keep forgetting to add that I actually had a deviated septum. I had NO clue until dr.G told me the day before my surgery at the pre-op. If you have good insurance maybe go and see if you have any problems with the function of your nose before surgery (it could save you some $$). I get a lot more air through my nose now. It's crazy, I had no idea about my breathing until after I had surgery.

Perfect tiny nose

I forgot to ask you where did you stay during your recovery time. Any recommendations?

I flew into Lax and stayed in glendale just ten minutes away from the hospital at an airbnb. I seriously recommend this place if you can rent it during your surgery https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/395305?s=BF6q

Thank you again for the apartment info! as soon as I get my surgery date I will book it!
June 4, 2015
Oh, I am sorry :) I forgot to ask you if Dr G uses temporary packing after surgery. During my first rhinoplasty I had it and it was horrible.

no he only use tiny little splints, but i still didn't breathe out of my nose during that time hope that helps! :)
