Since this is your last post, could you please upload a couple of more with better lighting. I am going to use your photos to bring with me for my appt. with Dr. G, I love yours the best. You look amazing!

I'm so sorry for the late reply! Unfortunately most of my photos were taken down due to privacy reasons, if you are still interested in additional photos I would be happy to send them to you over private messaging. Good luck on your surgery, you are in amazing hands and I'm sure your nose will turn out beautifully! (:

Just wanted to state that your nose is the most perfect nose I think I have ever seen, not just out of Dr G's patients but of all time in life! I hope you feel beautiful now, because I think you are so stunning!

Thank you so much! That made my day :) I feel very blessed to have found him, he really is a great surgeon and cares about his patients!

Can you please send me pictures! I am 6 days post op and hating my new nose. I am feeling really desperate and down. I know there's a lot of swelling that needs to go down but I feel like Michael Jackson. Please can you contact me????? I would so appreciate it.

Final Update - extremely happy and grateful for my new nose!

Hello everyone!
It has officially been a year since my rhinoplasty and I can now honestly say it was the best decision I have ever made. In my previous posts I was struggling with my changed appearance and it took me awhile to realize how amazing my nose turned out. Now that the majority of the swelling has gone down I am finally happy with my nose. I have included some more before photos for your reference along with some more recent photos of my nose. Unfortunately this post may soon be taken down due to my own privacy reasons, but I hope that my journey has helped others looking into this surgery! I wish you all the best of luck, you are in great hands if you are considering Dr. Grigoryants. He has exceeded my expectations and is a wonderful surgeon. Thank you all for your support and for following me on this journey! (:

Hi! Your nose is really beautiful and I used your photo to show dr G what I wanted :) now I am 5 months post op. I saw that in your 3months update you noteced some imperfections, are they gone away? I have a little bump on the left side (which is also more sensitive than the other) and I actually don't know if it is due to the swelling or not (if I touch it seems 'hard') thank you!!
November 14, 2016
Thank you so much!! Im so happy I was able to inspire you(: Yes those imperfections have all gone away, I would try not to worry about it and give it time! The imperfections are almost always due to swelling which can take a year to completely subside, just try to be patient and remember your nose will only get better and better as time goes on!<3
November 14, 2016
Thank you so much! :) I will try to focus on other stuff and not thinking about it:). Good luck!

I used your nose as inspiration for my rhino revision with Dr. G yet I haven't gotten anywhere close to your results. Even at your two month mark that you didn't like looks 100 % better than mine right now at three months.
November 14, 2016
I'm honestly so happy I was able to inspire you! Personally I think your nose is gorgeous (your profile already looks amazing - also I'm so jealous of your eyes!). Even at 1 year post op my swelling is still going down more each day. From what I have heard, revision rhinoplasty swells even more! So just remember to be patient, it's really a long process and your nose will continue to change each day, I promise it gets better(: waiting is the hardest part!
October 14, 2016
Wow you look great! I wish my nose came out like this with Dr G! Nowhere close. But congrats.. it fits you beautifully. Enjoy it :)
November 14, 2016
Thank you so much! <3 I personally think your nose looks beautiful but I suppose we are all our own worst critics, I am over 1 year post op and am amazed that my swelling is still going down each day! I wasn't fully happy with it until 12 months, just try to give it time and be patient(: It is definitely a long process
November 12, 2016
Hiya! Your nose surgery transformation has been amazing, you look gorgeous! I can only hope Dr G manages to achive a similar result with mine! I really hope you dont mind me asking, but, are your lips real? They are beautiful! If they are I can only use your pics as a goal if I ever do mine and if they are not would you be able to recommend your Dr? X

Thank you so much! I actually get them filled with juvederm by Dr. Shah in Chicago, you are more than welcome to use my photos as a reference(: I have been to multiple doctors but I have found that Dr. Shah is the best! Best of luck with your surgery, you are in amazing hands and I'm sure your nose will turn out beautifully! <3

Here is the flash photo that I referenced in my previous update, sorry I accidentally deleted it! As you can see, the imperfections are more noticable

Your new nose is a vast improvement, you should be very pleased :) What you are going through is very normal - it's just a natural phase post-surgery of those who can be quite critical of themselves - I know all of this as I happen to be one of those people! lol
It is still way too soon and you will have quite a lot of swelling present and your healing is far from done. Rhinoplasty is one of the most complicated facial surgeries. Google yourself some images of the anatomy of the nose and it will give you some idea of all of the various bones and structures your doctor had to augment to achieve your result and you will understand why there is still so much swelling, movement and healing going on.
Everything will be fine, you'll see. You had your surgery performed by one of the best doctors :) x

it really looks great and has definitely slimmed down! I'm a little over two months and am finally starting to notice tip swelling going down. Ugh what a process!! Honestly your nose looks so good
Reading your reviews and experiences has helped tho, and I will probably return to them every day for months during this process.
It's a very challenging time. Even if we didn't love our noses before, it's very strange to not recognise or feel yourself when looking in the mirror. Right now I don't want to go back to work (tho I have another 10 days off) or see anyone. I'm thinking of cancelling a few things I thought I'd be ready for ... But I'm not. I'm not thinking (hoping) I won't feel like this forever...but when in the process of healing time doesn't go quick.
Thank you for writing this review. If my nose turns out 50% as stunning as yours I'd be delighted! Xx
