Hi! :) my story is similar to a lot of yours, growing up hating my nose and always feeling like it just doesn't fit my face! I feel like it's more of a mans nose (it is identical to my dads whatya know!) I've broken it a time or two as well. I've always wanted to get my nose fixed to be more feminine and fitting to the rest of my facial features but I could never afford it before or have the courage! This past year I have done a lot of research on Drs. and I finally decided Dr, Grigoryants was the perfect doctor/artist to redesign my nose! I love all of his before and afters and his email consultation was great, along with the lady in the office that made my appointment. He's very booked up, I just called this last Monday to make an appt and the soonest they had was march 31 2016! But that's okay because it'll give me time to have all the money saved up and to prepare myself! (I hope it goes by fast!
I'm looking to slim down the width of my nose and create more of a feminine curve as well as lifting the tip and defining it. I will post my favorite noses (I know everyone's is different and my out come will be different!)
I guess I'd like to hear what I might expect before, during and after surgery? Any and all tips are welcome!:))
Thank you! Looking forward to hearing from you all!

See my comments from Erica. She goes through quite a bit of detail. All the best.

You have a great nose for surgery. U have a great nose period.:-) I can see what u want to do with it and it looks really easy to work with because it's practically perfect already . Good luck ! I'll be following your journey :-)
August 27, 2015
Thanks you!!:) you are so sweet! I really hope I have great results! I think it'll balance out that I have such tiny lips (which I don't mind, they fit my smile I think!) haha I look forward to sharing and having your support! It really helps!

You're going to look great , and I love all your examples of actresses. They have great noses. Did u look into Michael Elam in Orange County . Love him. He posts the best videos. Check his profile. If I lived in California he would have been on my top list too
August 28, 2015
Thank you!! You're really helping me feel confident in my decision! I hope the style of nose I'm looking for will fit my face!
I've never heard of him but will look up his work right now!! Thanks :)

U have to watch his videos in the "more" option in his profile. Some have actually made me cry a little :-)

You're already really pretty! Dr. G is awesome. You aren't going to regret this :-)
August 29, 2015
Very excited to see how everything goes! :) I'm an out of town patient and I want to email Dr. G, did you email pictures of the noses you like along with the pictures of your nose for you email consultation?
August 29, 2015
I actually first just emailed him photos of my nose, I plan to bring photos of what noses I really like and dislike to my in person consultation which is March 2! (So far it feels like) but now that you say it I might consider emailing him some of the noses I love and pick his brain. Where are you going to be coming out from? I think any trip would be worth taking for Dr Gs work!
Looking forward to hear and see more if you decide to go forward!:)

noses I love!

Hi! Here are some noses that I really like and am hoping to go for, let me hear what you think:) I know my nose is different and Dr Grigoryants will do what looks best for my face but I want to be very prepared to show him what I love, like, and dislike so I can at least feel assured that we both are on a same page! Thank you!

I also love Kate Beckinsale's nose.
August 28, 2015
She truly has the cutest nose! I wonder if it's naturally that perfect?

No, it's not. I looked it up. She has a nose job as a vast majority of actresses.

I knew it was too good to be true! Praise to her surgeon who ever they may be!

I love Kate Beckinsale's nose too! Good luck! I'm having my rhinoplasty on 9/28. :)

Hi, i'm very interested to know what nose you love ,I'm booked to have my rynoplasty plus face done three weeks from now. I think we differ considerably as my nose now is similar but much bigger to the one you love and I hate the shape ,I want a much more rounded shape ,I suppose its true we are never happy are we?.

Concerned about philitrum

23K
Okay so today I read a ton more reviews and stories and something I've noticed people comment on is this philitrum becoming too long looking after rhinoplasty, and I think mine is already a little long, (it doesn't bother me right now though) but in honest opinion do you think this will be funny looking after my rhinoplasty??

Sending you lots of luck and my blessing for your surgery. U picked a great surgeon
August 30, 2015
Thank you! I'm very excited! But still slightly nervous!
August 30, 2015
So many great reviews from this doctor. You made a great choice. Best of lucks!
August 30, 2015
Thank you!:) I am very excited! Do you think it will look fine with my philitrum? I know dr G is an amazing artist, this just has been worrying me!
August 30, 2015
I really think u need to express yourself to this doctor . I think he's great, but the reason I didn't personally choose him is because I think he shaves the columella too much and makes the nose too upturned, but if that's the style of nose u like, its up to u. For me personally, that is something I don't want for myself. Not saying that wouldn't be right for someone else, but it's true what u say , I think he definitely does that. It's his signature look. Make sure u tell him that is something u do not want if u choose him And to take it easy
August 30, 2015
I personally love where your nose sits right now and it doesn't really droop when u smile. I think your nose if u really wanted a nose job only need light refinement. U don't want to take away from your look completely, it's nice and you're a beautiful girl with pretty eyes
August 31, 2015
I haven't had surgery (yet) but when I do I plan on going with Dr. G!! I have been following a number of docs on realself for a couple years now and I find he consistently does amazing work. I think you've made the right choice and will get a great result. If you have any concerns (ex, philitrum) definitely discuss it with him! The more you can show/tell him what you do and don't want, the happier you'll be with the result. Excited to see your result! (love your tats btw)
August 31, 2015
Awesome!! Have you thought about when you want to have your surgery? He's so booked up! I called beginning of august and the earliest was end of March!
Yes I definitely will bring it all up to him I trust him that he will take all my concerns into consideration!:)
And thank you! Your support is so appreciated!! I look forward to hearing if you set a date!!
September 2, 2015
Emailed Dr G about my concern with my philitrum and he said I didn't need to worry because I'm not having my collumella lifted. So that really made me feel much better! Back to being really excited about the surgery! If only it was March!
September 2, 2015
Yay!! That's good news. U have a unique nose. U only want to refine and better it. Not totally change it completely
September 3, 2015
Thank you!!:)) I was really excited to hear that from him, I did not want a lip lift or anything more because I want to still stay looking like myself just with a much more feminine nose!
