Hello guys!
I've been through nightmare with my first rhinoplasties, you can see my previous reviews.
To make long story short - I had very different feelings with my new nose which I did with dr.G. First week I was so scared cause my nose was bleeding and wet the whole week which was not like that with my first surgeries.
Then when my cast was removed I was soooo happy - my nose looked super cute - nice small upturned- fits my face very much and I really loved it.
Now I feel a little bit upset.
And it's not dr.G fault - he is amazing and the best doctor and person I've ever met - I know if I show him morphed pic - he would do it - I just didn't tell him what I exactly wanted. I forgot to tell him to make it a bit shorter and more upturned. So I really loved my nose after a cast removal. But now since swelling going down it seems to me its just turning into a regular nose:( straight, no bump, regular nose. But I liked this little cute nose which I had right after a cast removal. I'm so paranoid now always taking pics of my nose. And seems on each pic it looks a bit different... With time I'll see but now since swelling going down it's just becoming a regular nose(( not so cute and feminine but not just a regular. Well... will see ..;(
At my attached pic you can see - 1 pic - after primary. 2 pic - after cast and tape removal when I really was happy it looked so cute little and upturned. 3-6 - you can see how swelling going down and it not so cute just more regular nose :(

6 month post op
Hey guys!
Many of you asked me how do I look now. I didn’t post anything yet cause I was waiting for the swelling down. It’s been 6 month after my surgery so I guess I can show you now. I’m not happy with my nose. Not defined, still wide, tip still dropping a little bit. Only polly beak deformation was fixed. After my cast removal my profile was perfect and I really liked it, by time passing it started to change. Not in a good way. I was upset. I told my concerns at 3 month post-op appointment and dr G told me it was just swelling that’s why my tip dropped. And when swelling will be gone my profile will be the same as after my cast removal. I heard opposite thing - when swelling going down your tip is always dropping a bit and these is no way it goes up again. My main concern was that I still can’t breath properly, when I was at the first consultation before the surgery dr G said that of course he will fix it by putting spreader grafts. When at my 3 month post op appointment I told him that my breathing didn’t change (feels like I breath through the straw) he started to claim that “no, you breath fine”, what - he meant that I was lying or what?! Then he approved that yes spreader grafts doesn’t help, my nose still not breathing well, my nostrils are collapsed cause there is no support and there is nothing he can do about that now. But why he didn’t tell me this BEFORE?!
So I’m very upset. I spent about 9000$ for my first rhinoplasty and 13000$ for my revision with dr. G but still no improvements.
So please think twice before going for revision to this doctor. It’s very hard to live normal when you can’t breath properly through you nose. And I can’t afford to pay 3rd time and have 4th rhinoplasty.

Your nose looks nice . Maybe chill with thd lip filler ?

I disagree very much. I see her concern with the tip dropping and yes the tip drops when the swelling subsides. Also her bridge is massively widened and has no light reflection. My guess is if she had 50 unbiased strangers (not Dr. Grigoryant's relatives or friends or people with previous rhinoplasties) to determine which look they prefer vast majority(if not all) would pick PREop virgin nose front view.

Thank you for your review on Dr G. It makes me feel even better about choosing Dr Motykie. He is in LA, check out his before and after pics....amazing work!!!

Your concerns are valid concerns and objectively and subjectively speaking you did not need Rhinoplasty as your nose prior to Rhinoplasty suited your face. This is again my opinion, and I am not here to criticize anyone of their decision to have a surgery because it is a personal decision. The breathing problem and the issue with spreader grafts comes up very often with Dr. G patients and seems to be a common problem and complaint among his patients. Unfortunately, patients are the ones that suffer financially and emotionally because after this so called Rhinoplasty Gods and experts pocket the money, then you get a bunch of excuses as to why it did not turn out the way that the patient wanted or they try to convince you otherwise that you had a beautiful result. This is just sad.

omg this IS upsetting. Honestly, nose looks nice, it really does, at least from what I can see on photos. But I understand that ability to breathe is very important too.
April 30, 2018
I had a lot of swelling on my bridge up until 2.5 years
July 10, 2018
Why dont you try Dr.Ion in the UK or dr.Nassif from the show botched for a consultation?
July 31, 2018
Cause I’m limited with my traveling and it’s a big deal for me to go to another country for rhinoplasty...(

11 month post op, nose still ugly
So it’s been almost a year. According to the doctors swelling almost gone but I’m really shocked how big my nose for my face! All this nice dr. Gs reviews here and on his site seems fake and photoshopped.
I don’t wanna hide my face I want to be open for all of you so you won’t make same mistake as me.
He didn’t help to fix my breathing - that’s the main reason why I came to him for the surgery but also made my nose really huge and wild, probably because of spreading grafts. After my post op meeting with him he said my nostrils still collapsed inside and has no support and if he will make a revision my nose will be even more wilder like half on my face so there is nothing else he could do except steroid shots which doesn’t make sense cause it’s temporary reduce the swelling.
I feel depressed. I was hoping it will be my last surgery but I was wrong.

It’s sad that some of these doctors are so unethical and play with our faces. Your nose can be fixed, if you got the steroid shots would you it improved anything at all?
August 19, 2018
Steroid shots would improve swelling for about a week it’s not a solution.
Need to find a good revision doctor. I can’t be with such a huge nose
August 22, 2018
I read you’re looking into Canada, which doctor have you found? I have yet to hear of an amazing revision surgeon in Canada
August 22, 2018
I found Oakley Smith so far. He does ONLY rhinoplasties. But I need to look very thoroughly - cause it’s not only esthetic issue it’s also functional issue. And for fixing breathing - doctor should have a license for that. Not only plastic surgeon. Dr. G doesn’t have a license for fixing breathing. But I found out it too late unfortunately.
August 27, 2018
It is evident that the Dr. Grigoryants has the sole purpose of making as much money as possible also to the detriment of their patients, totally disregarding ethics professional.
August 20, 2018
I've seen so many good reviews on this dr.
Have you considered Dr.fleming
August 23, 2018
Okayx just a thought his consultations are free . You have a beautiful face tho. Thanks for your honest opinion on Dr. G idk how he gets soo many good reviews.
August 20, 2018
IVe heard horrible reviews from him. All ive heard they say their nose bleeds too much also have heard he makes noses masculine looking.
Please do not take steriod shots, ive read some doctors on here say it can cause dents in the nose. I know most doctors want to use the shots though. But just try to eat healthy and not have alot of salt intake
August 21, 2018
Yeah I don’t want to take this shouts cause it’s not the solution and it’s been almost a year so my nose is not that swollen. The reason why it’s sooo wide - it’s spreader grafts I guess.
August 22, 2018
There is not doubt that the Dr. Grigoryants should apologize to the patient for the aesthetic result obtained.
August 22, 2018
Seems he really doesn’t care he is just saying “it’s swollen” or “I’ll do a steroid shot for free in 2 years” or “there’s nothing else I can do”. I think it’s very unprofessional.

Maybe just because I've been through so much stress with my previous surgeries I'm just paranoid now even with a good result
And the cost was 12.500$
