ORIGINAL POST

I have been researching doctors online for two...

I have been researching doctors online for two years and just this year I have finally started to meet doctors and plan on getting my rhinoplasty this summer 2016. I am from San Diego but go to college in LA. I have seen Doctor kolstad in la jolla, and Doctor Yoo in rancho Bernardo. I have a consult set up with Doctor gregoriyants in LA in March and doctor Hilinski in San Diego in February. I liked both doctors I saw so far, but the simulated pictures they made for me are very different and I can't decide who's I like better and which Doctor I trust more to give me the desired result. I want to deproject the nose, lower the bridge, and refine the tip. I feel like that's not too much to ask but when I spoke with Doctor kolstad he said that what I wanted was "pushing the amount of reduction that rhinoplasty can offer". This kind of scares me. But I don't know if he was just being honest that what I want is too outrageous to ask for, or if he's just not the Doctor to perform what I want. If anyone could look at these before and after simulations and tell me which one you think is more flattering or realistic that would be great. Also if anyone has any information or Advice about any of these doctors that would be a huge help. Thank you!

I'm not a doctor but I don't think what you asking is a lot ; it's just typical rhino goals that most patients ask for. In my opinion both simulations look nice and fit your face but I like the the first one more because the tip is lifted a bit. I would also ask for tip simulation because that's usually the hard part in the outcome and often gets messed up. Good luck in the rest of your consults and please keep us posted. Thanks.

Thank you!

They both seem nice to me in different ways! The first is I think more graceful and elegant, and probably closer to your original "look" if that makes sense... And the second is more cute. I prefer the first but I usually like those kinds of noses better anyway :)

I hope your remaining consults go well! Good luck :)

I had an email consultation with Dr. Grigoryants and he basically told me he would do everything you're looking for plus reducing nostrils and opening airway so if you're looking for someone who can do a full package rhino maybe do the email consult with Dr. G and see what he suggests!

I had an email consult with him too and he said the same stuff to me! Haha I just want to see him in person before I make a decision

Girl your nose is beautiful and perfectly fits your face. I don't see any of the imperfections that you shared

Did you consult w dr Hilinski? How was it? Hilinski and Dr. G have been my top two choices on the west coast. I'm from the east coast and the one other Doctor that caught my eye is Eric Joseph.

Doctor G just really stood out to me because of his amazing before and afters. He has hundreds while other doctors only show like 20 which concerns me . He also was super confident but not in a bad way. He knew exactly what he thught would work for me and he is so booked he does 15 rhinoplastys a week in average! So he must be doing something right lol

Rhinoplasty with Dr. G scheduled (August 16th)

ccb1850February 25, 2016

So I was trying to find a doctor in San Diego, because it would be closer to my parents who could help me with recovery, but I live in LA and I just couldn't resist Dr. G. His before and afters and everyone's reviews have made me decide on him! I had an online consultation a while ago and I still haven't even had my in person (it's March 5th). But I had to make the deposit because he was getting more and more booked and I was hoping for surgery by May :( but looks like that's not happening. Hopefully there will be a cancellation. Does anyone have any tips about getting the first cancellation? I call once a week to see if anything has opened up and I think I am just anoying them at this point haha.

Oh my gosh girl me too! I call constantly hoping to get a date in June. But my mom said you're paying them thousands of dollars, it's okay to bother them to get what you want haha. Did you end up finding a date you wanted?

ccb1850

May 12, 2016

Yes!! May 16th ! I'm so excited but also nervous! When is yours!?

May 13, 2016

Well I've had like 3 different dates cause I have to keep rescheduling but as of right now I have no set date and I'm at the top of the waiting list for June. I'm really hoping for June but afraid no one is going to cancel! So I just keep calling and calling

May 14, 2016

That's what I did! I annoyed them I called like every 4 days haha but I finally got one. I actually went in for my in person consultation and told him I wanted an earlier date and he helped me right away and told the ladies at the front to find me a date in May (the one I wanted) he was awesome

That's so cool! I'm from nor cal so I can't wait to finally go down there and meet him. When did they call you saying they had an available date? Like how soon before the actual surgery date? It's getting so close I'm so jealous!!

I had an online consult with him where I made the original surgery date, but I wanted an in person consult cuz I live in LA and thought I might as well meet him in person. So at that appointment I told him when my surgery was which was originally August 16, I told him u was on the waiting list trying to get an earlier date, and he was like "oh when do u want it? May, okay let me find u a date" lol so he was super cool and found me a closer date when u met with him in person. So I would recommend that!

If I lived down there I would definitely do that and talk to him. Hopefully I will get something! I can't wait to see how your nose comes out!

Surgery scheduled with Dr G

ccb1850March 3, 2016

So I decided to go with Doctor grigoriyants in Glendale because he is amazing and all of your reviews and his before and after photos have made me decide on him. I have my surgery scheduled for August 16th, 2016 but I want to do it in May or June so hopefully there will be a cancelation. My nose is long, pointy, and bulbous at the same time. It's over projected and I pretty much have hated it since I was 10. It's the only thing I see when I look in the mirror or take a picture. So I am hoping Dr. G can give me a smaller, more feminine nose. Less projected, more refined, and shorter. I don't want a "done" look so I want a nose that still is natural to my thin, small face and features (Besides my large nose lol). Here are photos and I will keep updated my in person consult is with him March 5th!

If this is your nose, it's perfect, leave it alone...I thought that was an 'after' pic.....
