$8,000
I plan to have a rhinoplasty surgery in December of this year (2013). I have been researching for 2 years+ and have always had my eye on Dr. Motykie - that was until I found Dr. G. Now it is between Dr. Motykie or Dr. Grigoryants. Dr. G is VERY personable and I have yet to met with Dr. Motykie...

Can you give. A price range for nose jobs with Dr. Motykie? I l ow his consultations are 175.00 that goes towards the procedure but they won’t give you a price range at all until you actually pay the 175.00 I really don’t want to pay 8,000 for a revision!

Updated Consul visits
HenleiJune 18, 2013
Just finished my with my first consul with Dr. Motykie's office and my second consul with Dr. Grigoryants.
Dr. Motykie: I was surprised at how friendly, helpful and informative Dr. Motykie and his office was. I read a lot of bad reviews and it made me have a very negative feelings toward visiting his office but I am very glad I did. He went through all of my questions, was pleasant and his staff went above and beyond to help me with an unrelated cosmetic issue I have with another doc (who did my breast aug). I am really thinking of going with Dr. Motykie but the bad reviews are throwing me off and I even read that his before and afters online are altered and not actual results....that is disconcerting to me... I would really like to see real-life before and afters of his rhino work...but I cant seem to find many online.
Dr. G. He was an extremely different person this time around. I'm not sure if it was because he was tired or what the case was. Maybe he was upset that I had taken his time for a second consultation - but we are talking about my face here. He was very matter-of-fact and not to comforting and that made me nervous. He wasn't too rude - but he did come off a bit cocky which was surprising because I had experience another side of him last time. My friend said maybe he was upset at all the questions I had being as I am not the surgeon, etc.
Another thing I noted was that he looked overworked (and even told me he does about 15 rhinoplasties a day - no.1 rhino doc in the nation, etc..) something to that extent and that made me worry a bit as I wouldn't want an overworked and exhausted doctor working on my face.
I don't know at this point - I am extremely torn and really wish I had some type of "sponsor" who went to either of the two doctors for some insight...

Hi nour. I am going with Dr motykie. Going to met with him for a second time - and will schedule my appointment for December (2013)
It is Nerve-racking that Dr. G's nose jobs look all different. Some of them look real plastic - While others looked great. Dr. Motykie has a style and if that fits you then you should go with him. :)

Good luck! I hope you keep us posted!
December 6, 2013
Thank you! I will. And although I don't want the world to know - I will provide pictures : ) bc I know how important it was for me to see before and afters during my search
December 6, 2013
Awesome!!! I almost asked and then deleted it because I took my own photos down after a few months. Photos do make a review MUCH better and give more credibility. I will definitely post photos again when I get my revision. Thank you!
UPDATED FROM Henlei
Update - pre-op with Dr Motykie next week!
HenleiDecember 6, 2013
So I chose Dr Motykie and I am very glad I did. He has kept his same professional demeanor even after I placed my down payment. I just need to conclude what exactly it is I want in order to convey that to him. My surgery is scheduled for the end of this month! I'm excited and nervous.

Just a heads up from one of Dr motykies former patients... If you dont like your results good luck getting him to fix it or even acknowledge you. Once he has your money.... Good luck. If I were you I would have chosen Dr. G. Much nicer man and not all about the fame like Dr. M.
But hopefully he proves me wrong and your nose turns out fantastic.
January 13, 2014
Hi Henlei- checking in to see how you are doing? I have a consult w/Dr. M tomorrow! Hope you are doing great!
January 14, 2014
I personally think hes a horrible surgeon... BUT if you decide to go to him definitely negotiate... I got him down 3K and then gave it back to him when I needed a revision. Hopefully you dont need a revision and you just save a few thousand :) My total surgery was 20K
January 14, 2014
Breast aug with benelli lift and lipo of my tummy and back. The lipo came out the absolute worst and Ive had it revised by another surgeon... but its still not as nice as PRE-surgery with Dr. M and the scars are horrible. Ill have those revised one day. On the breast... The shape is nice but his lift technique is really bad with mishaped areolas and scars. I spoke to another past client of his via email and she has to have hers corrected too... So his suture work is lacking... based on what Ive seen from other surgeons. The biggest thing is that if you need a revision KNOW all the costs up front. ANd honestly he did a revision on me and it made no difference. If the surgeon cant do it the first time they most likely cant fix it the second... I just wish I knew all this before I went to him! I could have saved myself a ton of money and heartache.... :(

HI! I'm so sorry about the late response! how did it go and what is your update now??
September 16, 2014
I'm so sorry you had to go through this... was the revision a better outcome? what were your procedures?
September 17, 2014
Hi Henlei- not sure if this was posted for me, or LA4017. My meeting w/Dr. M was very strange. He was extremely cocky in the consult (like one of yours I believe). My case was a "no brainer" easy to fix... i expressed my concern because every other doctor had said the opposite; this was really tough/not an easy fix. I think mainly because my nose sounds like how yours is now- not a "botch" terrible job, but either there was scar tissue build up in the tip, or something went wrong because it was more bulbous than pre surgery. And my good side was no longer my good side. My not as good side stayed the same. So I went from 1 good side, to just 1 OK side. Not happy. BUT, because it wasn't terrible, most docs seemed afraid to mess with what was an OK result, to possibly make it worse. Dr. M was super confident he could make it amazing. He offered "dozens" of referrals to talk to other patients who had similar situation and were happy. I took them up on the offer and asked to speak to some patients; they could not provide even one, and after a few weeks of getting the run around, they said Dr. M changed his mind and didn't think he could make my nose any better. SO... I'm off to Dr. Davis in FL. But it was very weird to me that he did a complete 180 on what he thought he could accomplish.

fyi- this is nylagirl- i lost my original log in info and had to get new profile!

Oh no! what a headache that must have been! I don't mean to oppose, but my "cocky doctor" visit was actually with Dr. G in Glendale when I visited him the second time. Dr. M has been very nice with me (but I don't care about his attitude - lol - I want to see physical results!). Where are you flying to FL from? Let's stay in touch and share our experiences. I belive that is what happened to be in re of the scar tissue build up. I tend to scar very easily and dr. m told me what may be what happened. However, at the end of the day, there were still some bumps and edges in regard to my bones not being as shaved down as they should have and that's one of my concerns that he has agreed to fix. He was very comforting and told me he didn't think I "was crazy or anything" and he agreed completely. I just hope it comes out good. I would rather have an amazing surgeon who was an ass than one that is so kind but does not give good results... i'll be praying for you!
January 27, 2014
Please post some before and after pictures! I'm considering Dr. Motykie and like you the bad reviews are really throwing me off.
May 21, 2014
Hi hannah - are you still considering him? i would say there are better doctors out there.... nice guy - but didn't do a nice job. its not horrible - but i know it could have been done better.
May 21, 2014
Hi Henlei, I'm sorry that you're not thrilled with your results this far. I know that it is frustrating and I have no way of knowing if you'll like it more as more time passes but just wanted to share that for some people, it can take over a year or two to see final results. I recall seeing the most changes between 15 - 18 months and even subtle changes after that. Everyone's journey is different and if a lot of work was done or when there is thick/oily skin, swelling can last forever. Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I hope it gets better for you. Thanks for the update.
September 16, 2014
Hi Faith, you are so kind to write such a warming message. I appreciate it. I am going back in for a minor revision to reduce some bulging and place a cartilage piece in the tip. I am really hoping it gives me the results I am looking for! How are you doing now?
September 17, 2014
Good luck! Please keep us updated. Wishing you the best possible results!!
Thanks for starting your story! When is your consultation with Dr. M.?
