10 months post-op
I am about 10 months post-op and I couldn't be happier with my results!
For the first time in my life I can breathe very well through my nose. There is still some mild sensitivity, stiffness and swelling in the tip but I know that will go away with time.
I occasionally will tape my nose at night when I notice it a little more swollen and wake up to the tip more defined, but it's not necessary or something I do daily.
Overall, I've had a great 10/10 experience with Dr. Grigoryants and couldn't reccomend him enough.

Before Photos
My nose before!
My right side was always my "bad side." I always tried to hide that side of my face and never photographed from that side. I also could barely breathe out of my right nostril, and now 3 weeks post-op I am starting to be able to breathe SO much better.

Great Experience! Completely Worth the Wait!
I am currently 3 weeks post-op and am absolutely loving my nose.
I emailed pictures to Dr. Grigoryants in August 2021 for an online consultation. He responded the next day with a detailed description of exactly what he suggested doing to my nose. He suggested shaving the bump, narrowing the width of the bones, bringing the tip closer to my face (deprojecting it) and narrowing the tip. He also recommended reducing the size of my nostrils and opening my airways if necessary. That same day I called and scheduled my pre-op appointment and surgery day which was May 17, 2022.
I officially met with Dr. Grigoryants at the end of March where he analyzed my nose in person and told me exactly what he suggested we do. I didn't bring in any inspiration pictures because I trusted his judgment and trusted that he would deliver a nose that perfectly fits my face. The meeting was short and to the point but I never felt rushed or like I was not being listened to. He was very kind and reassuring! After meeting with him I was super confident in my decision to go forward with him as my surgeon. I paid for the surgery the day of my pre-op and the prescriptions were all sent over to my pharmacy that day.
On the day of the surgery I was excited and a little nervous. The nurses were all extremely kind and I felt like I was in great hands. I met with the anesthesiologist (who was SO incredibly kind) and let her know ahead of time that I get extremely nauseous and have always thrown up after my previous surgeries. They gave me a patch behind my ear that was supposed to help with nausea. I spoke to Dr. Grigoryants briefly, and then before I knew it I was asleep in the operating room.
I woke up feeling a lot of pain but they immediately gave me pain medication. Unfortunately, the patch for nausea did not help and I ended up throwing up blood and anything I tried to eat about 4 times that day. The nurse did reassure me that it was ok to vomit and that it wouldn't interfere with the surgery.
The following 2 weeks of recovery were really rough. I felt a lot of pain and pressure on my face and eyes, and surprisingly had a lot of pain in my teeth and throat. I was taking the pain medication consistently every 4ish hours. I had bruising around and on my eyes which ended up dissipating within a week and a ton of facial swelling (all of which was expected). Sleeping at night was the worst part of the healing process. Since I could not breathe through my nose, I woke up constantly every 2ish hours with a completely bone-dry throat, mouth and tongue. I ended up buying a humidifier which helped a little but there's not much you can truly do other than just putting up with it and drinking as much water as possible.
The day of the cast removal (6 days post-op) I met with Nurse Natalie who quickly removed all the outside stitches and cast. It was painful but not unbearable. She instructed me on how to tape my nose and then I quickly met with Dr. Grigoryants who looked over my nose and answered any questions I had.
I didn't feel great, was nauseous, and felt a lot of pressure on my face until about 2 weeks post-op. I am now 3 weeks post-op and am loving my results. As with anything done by a human, there are bound to be slight imperfections but my nostrils are perfectly symmetrical and my nose is better than I could've ever imagined. I still have a lot of swelling and healing left but so far so good!
I still have internal stitches that are slowly coming out, and I'm finally noticing my breathing starting to improve. I clean my nose with saline spray and tape my nose every night religiously. I no longer take Tylenol or anything else for pain. My nose is still really sensitive so I try to not put on face makeup, or use a very light hand if I have to.
I plan on updating my review with pictures and any new information as time goes on.
