WORTH IT
I had rhinoplasty about 10 years ago to reduce the hump on the bridge of my nose. After surgery, the appearance of my nose improved, but it was left too long. It left my face unbalanced, the tip was projected too far out from my face. Over the years, I have developed a tip deformity, bossea that really started to bother me. My breathing needs improvement too, my nose feels constantly stuffy. I finally decided to explore my options in order to improve the appearance of my nose and also to improve my breathing. I wanted to find a surgeon who only specializes in rhinoplasty. I had a consultation with Dr. Bublik, he is an ENT and facial plastic surgeon. I had a very positive experience with him and his staff. He seemed very knowledgeable and his staff is very accommodating with appointments and communication. I would love to hear your feedback about him. Please let me know! Anyone else I should consider?

I think it is wise to go on a few consultations. Are you trying to stay in the Los Angeles area? If so, have you considered Andrew Frankel? Good luck! Looking forward to your updates.

Thank you Faith! Yes, planning to stay in the LA area. I have another consultation scheduled with Dr. Grigoryants. I really like his before and afters, but it was hard to get an appointment. I had to wait 2 months for a consultation and surgery dates available are next June. I have a friend who is a patient there, through her recommendation I was able to get an earlier date for the consult she raves about him and says its worth the wait. I also called Dr. Nassif and Ghavami, but their consultations and surgery fees are very high. I will keep everyone posted! This site has helped me so much with narrowing down my search. I will also look into Frankel.

Does Dr. Bublik specialize in revisions?

He is an Ear Nose Throat Specialist, MD and and Facial Plastic Surgeon. He only does rhinoplasties and revisions, I like that he specializes in facial plastic surgery and that he is also an ENT.

Welcome to RealSelf! Even more than finding a surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty, you want a doctor who specializes in rhinoplasty revisions. Rhinoplasty is difficult enough, but a revision, with scar tissue, etc. is a different animal. I don't know if your prospective surgeon has done a lot of revisions, but that is definitely something you want to ask.

Please keep us posted!

Here are some photos to show what I would like to change. I like the front view of my nose, with the exception of the bossae on the tip, it doesn't show in all my photos. It is really my profile I would like to improve.

Hi. Your nose looks very nice from the front, the profile can be changed to balance your overall features. I must say..my nose looks similar to yours. You should check out Dr. Grigoryants. I am planning my surgery with him soon. Good luck!

You look gorgeous from the front, please be careful of hump reduction because that gives most people a wider look (I learned the hard way). If you do something modest, like focus on the supratip, you're more likely to keep a beautiful frontal :) I've been researching surgeons for 5 years and have had 2 surgeries. I agree that Dr Grigoryants could be a grea fit for you, I wish I could see him, but my case is too difficult.

Thank you for the advice and compliment. I do like my frontal view and would like to do something minor to improve my profile. I had a hump removed 10 year ago and thankfully my surgeon was able to preserve the natural shape of my nose, but it was left too long. I have met with one doctor who was great and meeting with Grigoryants in two weeks, can't wait.

First Consult with Dr. Grigoryants

I was so happy to finally meet Dr. Grigoryants and I am very certain that he is the best doctor to perform my surgery. He is very nice, intelligent and a talented surgeon. I already knew from reviewing his before afters and reading all the reviews here that he is amazing, meeting him just confirmed that. My consult was brief, but he knew instantly everything that was wrong. We were completely on the same page as to the results I would like to achieve. He made me feel very confident that this is the right decision. I can't wait to schedule my surgery date! Can't believe this is happening soon, long awaited revision.

I believe I call in October and my consultation was early December, about 6-8 weeks. He is worth the wait!

How much were you charged for your revision rhinoplasty? Your results turned out great! Congrats!

Thank you! I also had septoplasty done, which was medically necessary and covered by my insurance. This of course, reduced the overall cost of the surgery.The cosmetic fee was around 6000-6500k.
