Seven months post-op

WORTH IT$10,300
Wanted to post a seven month update with photos. I was comparing the photos I took to photos at the five month mark and my nose looks more upturned now (in a very subtle way—I like it!). There’s still swelling at the tip and internally but my breathing has improved. What’s annoying is that I still deal with a lot of snot overnight and during the day which is a pain, but it’s not as bad as before. I use saline spray every day still, but mostly just once in the AM and once before bed.
I’m so happy with my nose. No regrets at all (feel like a broken record saying that so much, but it’s true). I don’t know why my front view photo makes my nose look asymmetrical but I wanted to clarify that it doesn’t look like that normally.
Progress is slowing but there are still minor changes every once in a while. I’ve noticed the slight supratip break is a bit more defined now too, but let me know your thoughts. :)

Thank you for the posts and the swelling is crazy compared to the 7 months it looks so defined after. Look amazing!

I have same kind of nose but it’s getting crooked on my right side, what’s the name for this nice job? septorhinoplasty? It might be more expensive for me, but definitely it looks nice your new look. Thanks for sharing.

It’s been almost four months since surgery now and I’m still loving my nose. I do think the tip could be more refined (less wide and bulbous) but that’s my only real complaint from an aesthetic perspective. I am in LOVE with my profile. From the front I know there’s a difference, but it isn’t as noticeable / sometimes I feel the tip could have been lifted a bit more (I think this is just me being hypercritical though).

Functionally, I can breathe much better now than than in my last update. There’s still a lot of internal swelling when I look inside my nose, so when there’s a booger inside it really blocks my breathing until I get it removed. I do use saline solution still, quite often, and it really helps prevent dryness. I wake up congested every morning and I try not to blow my nose, but I usually do at least once a day to help clear the mucus.

Overall, I’m very happy and have absolutely no regrets at all. Attaching some pictures for you all to see :) let me know if you think I have noticeable swelling still (I personally feel like my nose is basically settled now)

You look amazing and your nose is gorgeous!!! I am one month post op and still unevenly swollen. I think your tip is beautiful and hope mine looks as good as yours soon!

Looks beautiful!

Congratulations on such a succesful surgery :) I think your result is absolutely perfect and looks completely natural. Refined and elegant, not over-done. Some rhinoplasties result in a nose that looks ‘fixed’, particularly with a tip that is too tiny. Yours is perfect, I really hope you come to love it.
All the best.

Beautiful results! How is it looking now that you are about 6 months post op? Any breathing issues?

Herr are some new photos. Still loving my nose. There’s still a good amount of swelling from the front but I’m very happy with everything so far.
I caused my septum to bleed a few weeks back by cleaning my nose with a Q-tip a little too aggressively, but I called Dr. Grigoryants’ office and was told I likely hit a blood vessel by mistake. I am still decently congested but breathing varies day to day, especially with all the smoke I’ve been ingesting in California.
Will update again in a few months! :)

Can you pose pics to see your current nose swelling has gone down
November 15, 2020
Just posted an update. Apologies for the delay!
November 7, 2020
Hey! Thanks for posting your journey. Is your breathing better now?
November 15, 2020
It is better! Still not what it was pre-surgery, but I have noticed I still have internal swelling so that could be it. Def something I'll ask about when I visit the doctor next month

Hey! Did you have a closed or open? Do you know how much the minimum cost of a rhinoplasty is with Dr. Grigoryants? Also how long did you have to wait from your consultation to your surgery? Thanks!
February 24, 2021
Mine was closed. I think it starts in the low $10k range. And I did an email consult and I think it was less than a month for me (I asked to be put on a waitlist and called the office twice a week to ask if there was movement).
February 24, 2021
Oh cool! Normally how long is the waitlist?
