WORTH IT$10,500

I just did rhinoplasty with Dr Grigoryants on may 24. Great experience. I will post my photos when cast is off.


Day 1
Dr Grigoryants has light touch. After I woke up from surgery, I didn't feel pain. I could breath well with my nose. I only felt a little dizzy when I tried to get up. After I got up my nose started bleeding. And later I couldn't breath with my nose. At night, my face started to have a little bruise and swelling.

Day 2
This was the worst day. Under and between my eyes there were dark purple bruises. My whole face was swelling a lot.

Day 3
Today is much better. When I woke up in the morning, the majority of bruises and about half of swelling were already gone.

Day 4
Under my eyes the purple bruises are all gone. Under my left eye there is no swelling, under my right eye there is some swelling. My cheek is still swelling.

In my previous review I can not add photos, so I open another one and post everything here.

Day 1 Dr Grigoryants has light touch. After I woke up from surgery, I didn't feel pain. I could breath well with my nose. I only felt a little dizzy when I tried to get up. After I got up my nose started bleeding. And later I couldn't breath with my nose. At night, my face started to have a little bruise and swelling. 
Day 2 This was the worst day. Under and between my eyes there were dark purple bruises. My whole face was swelling a lot. 
Day 3 Today is much better. When I woke up in the morning, the majority of bruises and about half of swelling were already gone. 
Day 4 Under my eyes the purple bruises are all gone. Under my left eye there is no swelling, under my right eye there is some swelling. My cheek is still swelling. 
Day 5I had running nose all day. It is clear water mixed with a little bit blood. Around my eyes there is already no swelling, and the yellow bruise is gradually going away. My cheeks are still swelling.
Day 6Same as yesterday. Whole day I had running nose.
Day 7Today I had the cast off. When I got home from LA at midnight, my nose looked more natural than when the cast and stitches were taken away in the office. I was surprised that my nose changed to a better looking during just several hours. At night I slept well because I could use nose to breathe.
My nose tip is very swollen, it looked big and round. When I was in the waiting room of doctor's office, I saw that all the girls have beautiful nose, so I complained to Dr Grigoyants about that. He told me that those girls without cast are mainly for 1 year or 2 year post surgery visit, and that their noses used to be swelling too when their cast were off. Then he went out and find a girl and brought her to me. That girl told me that her nose was probably more swollen when her cast was off. 
Day 8Today it looked like my nose is a little bit more swollen than yesterday. 
Day 9Today when I woke up, the yellow bruise on my nose is almost gone. My cheeks are still swelling. 
I will update photos when it is 1 month.

Is your smie back to normal?
June 3, 2017
Yes. I just find out that my nose is not hooked at all when I smile. My old nose hooked a little when I smiled.

Hi, thanks for sharing! I'm having my consultation next week with dr G. I'm also Asian. Would like to ask you a question- what was the look you wanted to achieve when you had your consultation ? Did you show the dr a pic? Thanks!!
June 4, 2017
I showed Dr G photos. It is the patient 4 of the before & after photo gallery of nos reshaping(rhinoplasty) on vgplasticsurgery.com. Because my nose looked like her original nose. Dr G told me that her photo was 3 years after surgery.

Did you request something specific or just allow Dr G to do the best he thought?
June 4, 2017
I showed DR G photos. It is the patient 4 of the before &after photo gallery of rhinoplasty on vgplasticsurgery.com. I don't think it possible to make it exactly the same. As long as my nose turn out to be beautiful after the swelling go down, I will be happy.

How's your breathing? How long after the surgery can you start breathing normally again? Thanks !
June 6, 2017
After the cast was off I can breathe normally. I breathe same as before.

Your nose looked great!
June 6, 2017
Thank you. I'm healing very fast. 5 days after cast was off my nose doesn't feel tight and heavy any more. Yesterday I went to Chinese market, no one noticed that I just had nose plastic surgery.
