Hope this helps future rhinos.... I know this site helped me. I had rhinoplasty and breast augmentation with Dr. Grigoryants but this review is only on rhino.

Scheduled consult with Dr. G, back in Nov 2014. Took 3 months to schedule the consult because of his busy schedule. The actual surgery was scheduled out all the way to Jul 2015.

Surgery itself was seamless. I live in San Diego, drove up the day of surgery. Leaving the hospital I had a splint on my nose, and inside along with a drip pad. Prepping before had and planning is a must. I found bendy straws, easy microwaveable soups, Popsicles, cough drops to soothe the throat, lots of ice water helped, and one of those neck travel pillows. Recovery was not as easy for me... I experienced dry mouth, numbness with my upper teeth, and just an overall uncomfortable feeling until he splint was removed 5 days later.

Like most I was concerned when the splint came off and I looked in the mirror and saw my nose. Even though Dr. And I discussed before hand what I wanted( which was removing the bump) and whatever else he thought would be aesthetically proprtionate to my face, while keeping it as natural as possible. I tried to keep reassuring myself it's just the swelling and the "pig" nose would go away and to respect the healing process and the very qualified Doctor I had spent months researching!!!! It was hard! I cannot lie, the thoughts of remorse floated around.... But be patient, the nose will drop, and swelling will subside slowly.... So far I can definitely say it has been worth it.

Thank you for your post. I too have found this site extremely helpful in my search for a surgeon. I am scheduled for a consultation with Dr. Grigoryants this November. I'm a little discouraged that I may have to wait until July to have the actual surgery lIke your did. I'm also doing a rhinoplasty and breast augmentation. Were you happy with your breast augmentation results? Your nose looks great.

Thank you so much! I am happy so far with the BA. I am waiting a bit more to post before and afters pics... There are not a lot of post about Dr. G. and his BAs but I think he is very skilled on any surgery! FYI I went from a deflated barely B to a full C/ small D -- 440cc,low profile Natrelle Inspira( gummy bear) 5'6"/ 130lbs.
August 18, 2015
Wow, I'm surprised 440cc only gave you a small D. I'm also a small B and I was thinking of doing 350cc. I would like to be a full D and definitely not bigger. I hopened Dr. G can help me with the ccs because I thought anything larger than 350cc would be too big. I'm 5'3" 130 lbs. I look forward to seeing your post on the BA.

That should be "hope" not "hopened". Not sure what happened there lol.

Thankyou for your post! It made me feel a little better about just having my splint off - I too have swelling and the "pig" nose (haha exactly what I was calling it too!!) - seeing your results make me feel a lot better about my surgery now - I just need to remind myself to be patient :) Your nose looks great though, he did wonderful job - G x

when did you get your nose done? I too am having the same issue and cant help but cry i couldnt sleep last night looking at the mirror of how high the tip of my nose is :(

who is your doctor?

Dr grigoryants!

I had my nose done about a month ago, it took at least 2-3 weeks to see a change in the tip of my nose, my nostrils still feel a bit exposed but it is much much better than after I just had my splint off. I cried for a while as well and was really depressed but after reading a lot of the stories on here and seeing peoples progress through photos, you just need to remind yourself that unfortunately the results of this type of operation take a while to kick in but it does get better day by day and soon enough when your nose starts taking shape you will start to feel a bit better about it. I'm still not 100% about my nose but I'll see how I go. Good luck and don't be too upset, it will definitely get better especially if your doctor is Dr G. I have looked at his results and they are amazing!! I only wish I had flown out to see him!! x

Thank you! It was definitely a tough week for me but I just need to toughen up I'm going to start not looking at the mirror so much and just let time do the healing! He's definitely a professional I was freaking out and i asked to see him asap and he made it possible I was kind of shocked since he's really busy but he sensed I was desperate and didnt mind. I was pretty content after that I feel like I could rest now knowing he actually cares and I could always go back to him for any concerns. I hope you find the results your looking for SOON!! :)

Thank you. You look amazing!

Dar03042, you won't have to wait if you get put on the cancellation list. Just call every couple of days after your consultation and you could end up w/a date in December or January.
August 19, 2015
I would like a date for May 2016. I'd prefer to recover in the winter but I won't have the cash until May. I'm saving up so I don't have to borrow. I thought about waiting until the winter of 2016/2017 but I'm impatient and want to get it done as soon as I have the cash.

im considering getting both surgeries done by him, do you know if he offers any deals or price reduction if you get both done by him?
August 20, 2015
I did an e-mail quote with him and he did reduce the price if you get both surgeries at the same time. I'm also seeing him in person in November.

During my consultation I didn't even have to ask about a reduction, he mentioned it to me first that he would discount a certain amount being that I was doing both procedures at one time. Honestly I was ok with or without the discount because I already knew I would be saving on OR fees/ anesthesiologist fees/ amd recovery time.
