Dear all,
just my quick review, I had months ago a rhyno with Dr Grigoryants. On the day of the visit I spoke to him for 20 -30 minutes about the procedures, and believe me they are not enough. That's your face and you have to get your point accross, see esample, bring pictures and I didn't, and if you are against something please say it immediately. I am very upset about the result and with time it seems it is not getting better. My result was very far away from what I expected, I like a natural surgery, the surgery that no one can see and I ended up like with the nose of the model that it is in his site, awful. Already when entering in his office you relize that almost all his employees had surgery with him. They have all the same nose, same shape or almost. My nose was ipershaved when not necessary and the tip was overly uplifted, he explained he was doing to do so but I didn't imgine how much and at what extent and how lifted, please note that when they lift the tip is more allungated, result: I look like a little piggy now and that was the result I wanted to avoid at any cost. I would post my pics but I would prefer to keep my name and face unknow. After the procedures doctor does not check with phone calls or email to check your health status, and then you meet for 5 minutes to take off the cast, in those 5 minutes, all you see it is a swollen nose and you can only appreciated, but then when arrived home, the reality is different. I think He ruined my face, but not because the nose is ugly, it does not belong to my face, so please when choosing a doctor see the pics in his book, look the nose of the patients he has in his studio, but most of all, famous does not always mean the best and California is the world of the fake, here having a nose that looks fake is routine. So choose carefully, I though I did and I was so wrong.Dr Grigoryants is to avoid on my opinion.

Sorry to hear you are not happy with your result. Hopefully, the piggy look will improve as time goes bu and you will like it better. What do your friends/family say? You mentioned a model on his website. To me, her nose is really cute, id be thrilled with such result. I dont see it as fake at all.

Can you post before and after pics
November 5, 2016
I would definitely post just a before and after of just your nose. This community will disregard your post without proof that you've actually had surgery. Just keeping it real with you. That said, I'm truly sorry you've had a poor experience with this Dr. Hopefully the tip drops, you must be so disappointed.
November 21, 2016
well, I am indeed, not what I was looking for, not my face anymore, I preferred my old nose to this one despite his little imperfection, but now I have other imperfection that are not mine imperfections that bother me even more. Do I make sense?? I would like to keep my privacy so I won't post pics at least not at this moment. I am just here to say be careful, he is not as good as Real Self makes you believe he is, I chose this doctor because of Real Self opinions and some of the pics I have seen on his site. I do not think he makes huges mistakes, but he is not a magician of the nose either, do not get fooled as I was about his certificates on the wall as best doctor of the year. Please choose carefully.

Please, please...I'm begging you if you could send me your photos, to my personal email. I am considering a revision. This is a very important decision & I can't afford to do this again... I am emotionally spent. After all my research, Dr.G has the best before & after pics (that are real). Thus I trust he has the skills to fix my nose... but I would love to see your images. I hope you feel better over time. Having a "model nose" sounds like a dream to me!
November 21, 2016
LOL, not a model nose, but the model of his site nose, which looks totally fake. He make what I called the duck nose, if I would have a lip enhancement I would be a perfect duck. I had little to do and he completely reshaped my profile when I think it was not necessary for the change requested. Yes the tip is smaller now but my bridge is wider and I requested more brow-tip shadow from one side, but he didn't removed the cartilage there as I asked him to do with the result that one side of the nose has a bump and does not reflect the shadow/light as the other side. Do not go to him for a revision, look other doctors, Beverly Hills doctors I have been told are the very best, make your research and please make sure they show computerized images, that helps to have an idea, even though the results might be not exactly the same, but at least you understand if you and the doctor are on the same page as achieving the same results.

For revision I would definitely recommend you to look for a doctor who is good in revisions! As I have read dr. G is good in first Rhinoplasty and if you want to have that signature dr. G nose. I had my revision 8 days ago and I'm happy that I went for a surgeon who is known for his skills in revisions and only does noses! In my opinion having a model nose will not say you're going to love it. As we are all different and what is a beautiful nose for one will not say it's a good nose for others. It has to blend in nicely with other features in the face. Good luck!

Do not go to this doc for revision he's not experienced in them
December 2, 2016
I think he is not good also in the functional part, my breathing got worse and my nose is completely closed now, I do not know what he has done ... but it's not good.

I agree Dr G is only good for primary noses. Check out Richard Davis Miramar Florida he is a great revision doc.

Hi, who did you go to if I might ask? My surgeon in London just told me I should cancel my surgery 5 days prior to it and he would refund the surgery money, I have been crying since this morning :( I would appreciate if you told me who your revision surgeon is as I m desperate to get my nose done, I m so tired of everything right now:(
February 16, 2017
Hi saboo you pm me but i cant answer on here as computer doesnt let me!!Lucian Ion is fab and if he has asked you to cancel he maybes doesnt think you are ready yet or could be you might have an image in mind that he is not able to do.I think you should skype him again as you need to be sure but yes I am very happy with my result and I do think he is the best

Hi, thank you for your reply. Ya it was quiet confusing , I have asked to meet him again so he can show me on the morphing what he means . He says that if my tip is deprojected as I want, then the chance of a narrow tip from the front view is only 50% I have seen many de projections that don't give thicker view from the front. But I like him cause he is honest and listens . That's extremely important even though he replied my mail to late and I was going to travel to London today :( I guess I have to go around obsess with my nose a bit longer. Do you have any possibly to send before and after pictures somewhere ?
February 17, 2017
I can if you have whatsapp??
November 15, 2016
Funny how you went to Dr. G and got too piggish/ too lifted and that's what I asked for when I went to him instead my nose looks like I hadn't had like anything done after paying over $12k.

He gave me the ugliest, fakest nose. He really doesn’t listen

I have deceived to delete the pics I uploaded for the amount of email received asking me questions, I did reply to everybody but being a busy full time mom I can not spend all day on internet. But please leave a comment or send me messages I will reply as I can and when I can.

Find another surgeon, the best are the maxillo facial doctors with expertise in rhino. I can not breath anymore from my nose, I think he damaged the functional part of my nose. be careful.

I think you mean ENT not maxillofacial

I went to his page and took a look at his rhinoplasties. You are right, his noses look just a like, not a bad nose, but not okay if your looking foe something else. You should take a screen shot and post it on here, so people can see clearly that your right. Best of lucks, I hope with time your nose will look closer to what you want.
