If anybody's nose looked something like this and has done a nose job, I'd appreciate if they let me know. I'd like to see what could be done and what kind of results to expect. I am currently choosing a surgeon from either US, Russia or any other country in Europe. I like my nose from front a lot, I just hate the side profile. I'd aim for something subtle and delicate - straight feminine nose that would fit with my face because this one just stands out..If you have any comments or suggestions, feel free to tell me. Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your post! If you get a chance, sort through some other rhinoplasty stories to see if you can find folks with similar noses who have been through the process. Chose your surgeon carefully and research research research. Here's a list of questions to ask at consultations. Good luck and please keep us posted on your process!

Hey!! Welcome! I'm happy you have come here to check out your options and do research. I know how you feel about your nose is very real, but when I look at it, I don't see anything wrong with it! I'm getting surgery but I have a very very large bump on my nose, and I do have to get tip work done as well, and I'm most nervous about that. People say that's the worst part about the surgery, and that's the only thing I can see you maybe could be a candidate for. Nasal surgery is major major surgery and make sure you 100% hate your nose, because what you might find after could make you wish you didn't. You'll see that on the site with women who were up in the air about surgery and proceeded. Your nose is perfectly proportionate! But I don't want to discourage you from what you want!!

Thinking...

Saeya
So I've been emailing with Dr. Vladimir Grigoryants for some times. I've did research on the plastic surgeons for a while now and I am very picky when it comes to choosing a doctor. I've decided to go with Dr. Grigoryants since I like most of his work and he is considered to be a pretty ,,safe'' surgeon. Things is, I am from Europe and it is going to be a big trip to the states (and expensive one too). He seems like a really busy guy, he answers all of my questions but his replies are short and direct. He also said my nose is hard to work on which is not what I have expected haha But anyway, I am probably going to be alone there so I am a bit worried if I can cope with it alone. Another thing I am worried the place hotel or apartment (I would prefer an apartment) I can stay, Any suggestions? Of course, the price need to be reasonable. I am excited and stressed at the same time...

When is your surgery? I checked out motels in the Glendale area and the best money for value I could find was a place called "Tropico" for $80/night, though there were plenty of other options around the same price. Good luck!

Good luck! I also came from Europe and stayed at an AirBnB about 10 min away from his office. I really liked having a kitchen and backyard (and living room), and it was very reasonable.

you can get a nice airbnb for a little over $100/night. I had his former employee stay for a few hours the first night - it was nice she can pick anything up for you, set up your bed, etc. I forget her name but you can call the office or ask Dr. Grigoryants.

I think she is on yelp under dr. Grigoryants as well - very blonde hair

Surgery scheduled on October 1st

Saeya
Hello all! I paid a booking fee and my surgery is scheduled on October 1st. This is a really long time to wait...but unfortunately there are no earlier dates. I'll have to postpone some of my life events like wedding and etc. But I guess it is worth it. I've been looking at Dr. Grigoryants works - and I can clearly say that some I don't like and others I like a lot so I guess I'll bring photos with me to pinpoint what I expect my nose to be - I just want to make my nose smaller, I like the shape, I like overall look of my nose from the front, but my profile seems not to fit with my face features at all. As soon as I get close to my surgery date I'll update my review and probably post before and after pictures. Good luck for you all who are waiting for their surgery :)

Did Dr. G seem to be receptive with the idea of keeping the frontal appearance similar but just changing the profile? Sounds exactly like what i would want!

I don't think it's possible to shorten your nose without your front changing. My front did change, at almost 2 month mark it is still wider than before? However, I am not complaining, I don't have a slim face and my features aren't all that delicate so the nose I have right now still fits my face.
