Wow, ur nose looks so natural. The doctor is soooo skilled. Really I've seen all his work and his results are natural. He masters the bridge, the tip, nostrils, and where the forhead meets the top of nose. He is perfection. Not only that but he dose it all closed procedure, so no one has to deal with the ridiculous upper lip still swollen. Im 1 yr post and still my upper lips and nose is so bad in pictures :/ im surprised he only has 7 yr experience. Has any one got a collapsed nose from him, does he use grafting.

I have never heard of anyone's nose collapsing after one of his surgeries. I believe he does use grafting. I did not have any bridge work done, just tip work, and no grafting. I'm sorry you aren't happy with your result :(!!

Actually I have spoken to and seen pictures of two of Dr. G patients that had their noses collapse. I have also seen one that had a twisted bridge. He did however fix girls with collapsed noses but the one with a twisted bridge I am not 100% sure as she was from out of country and had to make a trip back to get a revision done. Remember even the best surgeon can have not the best outcomes. He has always offered to all three people I have met to fix their noses. Dr. G was my runner up for a revision but I ultimately decided to go with someone else due to the fact that he has not done many revisions let alone like mine. If I had septum left to use I am sure Dr. G would have been the one I would have gone. Dr. G doesn't have very extensive experience with revisions let alone with grafts other than septum. He does produce beautiful results, I have done lots of research on him and even consulted with him in person. Very nice man, skilled surgeon, and produces beautiful noses for the most part.

Omg...you look beautiful- your nose looks amazing. I have a hanging/droopy collumella like you did...that was one of my main compliants. I am so relieved to see your result. That gives me encouragement for my surgery coming in May. Thank you for your in depth updates. They give me great insight.

Hey girl! It has been a while since I have checked out your page. You nose looks so AMAZING!!! :) After meeting Dr. Grigoryants, I was sold! He made me feel so comfortable, and was just so knowledgeable and kind! My mom also thought he was great. My surgery date is February 25th. I will be staying in Pasadena for a few days, because I live in Santa Barbara. I am super excited, but also a little nervous/anxious. I had a few questions, and immediately thought of you and your post. I am hoping you could please answer them for me. I would really appreciate it! First off, besides all of the products you listed, are there any other products/foods etc. that you would recommend? Secondly, there is a website called “makemeheal.com”. They have a kit of vitamins for pre/post-op and also another medication called SINECCH (Arnica Montana) for reduce bruising and swelling. Obviously, I don’t want you to go research all of these pills lol, but I was wondering if you took anything like Arnia or Bromelain. I am asking because I am kind of a health nut, and super into whole foods. I am planning on getting some juices from Pressed Juicery since I will be in a hotel for the first two days. I wish I could go home right after surgery to be in my own bed :/ ughh Anyways.. I am sorry for this SUPER lengthy email, but Thank you for taking the time to read this!! :)

Hi! You are so sweet. Thank you so much for your compliments! How exciting for you!! It's coming up soon! I would say definitely get soft foods and the juice sounds like a great idea. I craved sweet potatoes and soft things because my nose felt "tight" in a way and I didn't want to move it around too much by chewing or biting! The arnica may be good, I didn't need it really but a lot of people say that it works for them! Especially if you're nose will be broken during surgery. I did take bromelain .. But to be honest I can't remember if it made any significant changes to my recovery. I would also look up turmeric capsules (organic) because it's known for it's anti inflammatory properties. I'm not sure if it's ok to take with anti biotics though! Also look into getting a probiotic. Your body will thank you after feeding it too many anti biotics! I hope this helps :) good luck with everything!

Thank you so much for your response and for your updates. They have really helped me a lot. I'm guessing I will be ordering sweet potatoes from room service! :) I am probably going to take the arnica and bromelain just in case, and I am definitely going to check out turmeric capsules. Also, I just ordered the Dr. Ohirra's probiotics online (they didn't have that brand at my local health food store). Thank you again for your help! I really appreciate it! :)

Hi! I haven't updated in a while now, but I have more recent pictures. The swelling has gone down a lot, obviously! But it is of course still very swollen in the tip area. I can tell when it's more swollen some days than others. Overall, I am very happy with my decision and I think it was worth it!!
