Almost 6 months post op doctor G
ccb1850October 31, 2016
Sooo.. it's been almost 6 months. I am overall happy with the improvement doctor G made. But I still feel like my nose has issues. I am starting to see a divot on the right side of my nose more and more. The bone of my bridge kind of bulges out and then indents in. It is really noticeable in some lighting, not so much in others. But I always notice it and so does my bf. I emailed him about this two months ago and he said my nose looked great and he didn't know what my complaint was and he didn't see a divot. But now I am posting these photos so u guys can confirm. I am not crazy, there really is a divot, and will it get worse as swelling goes down? Can it be fixed? Have any their doctor g patients had this issue? I like my side view but the front bugs me. Only the divot. Here are photos all taken the same day, just different lighting. You see what I mean?

You're not crazy, I see it also, now that you have pointed it out. It looks really minor, though. I see how the columella looks different, too. I would wait until all the swelling goes down. I've heard of other girls complaining of a bump on the bridge and then it disappeared. They just had to be more patient and wait for more time to pass, for all the swelling to go down.

I feel like at 6 months tho he swelling should be gone. And I feel like the more the swelling goes down, the more you can see the dents. :(

Hi! I can see it and I noticed it mostly because I have the same thing on the right side of my nose. Dr G didn't cause it but he didn't address it during surgery. It's noticeable from the front and 3/4 view. The other 3/4 view is different and more of a smooth transition. It's actually the bump above the divot which is where your bone protrudes and the divot inward is probably where your nose deviates towards the other side. I had this and I still have it after my revision with G. I mentioned it during my consult and he said that would be smoothed in the surgery and rasped down, and the cartilage he took from my ear would smooth in the divot, but unfortunately, it's still there. Did you have this before surgery? Maybe you can look back at old pics and see.. i think the small bump can be rasped and the divot below can be filled with a graft or with temporary filler (from what I've read) to help even things out. I don't think yours is bad and it doesn't take away from your overall result. I think you should give it some time, from my own experience it probably won't get worse after 6 months but I wouldn't say it will magically disappear- especially if it is bone deviation... hang in there! your nose looks nice :)

Thank you for your response. I don't think that I had this divot before surgery, however my nose was just overall bad, so to me it's still a huge improvement. Are you going to get yours filled with filler or do anything about it?

Your nose looks amazing. You need to understand every nose has little bones and cartilage in the light angles you can see. It's a nose. It's small and upturned just right. Who cares about a tiny bone u can see in certain light. Be happy and don't let it be your brain that needed fixing and not your nose. It's easy to fall into the dark obsess side. Put your camera away. Stop staring in the mirror and enjoy your amazing new very small nose

I think you are being a little crazy. If I stare at your nose obsessively yes I can see it but otherwise it is very minor. I am currently 8 days post-op and understand that it can be hard not to obsess about your nose and every small flaw (it is on your face after all) but try not to. You got a beautiful result that is markedly better than what you had before and that is wonderful. Expecting perfection after a rhinoplasty is unrealistic (although it isn't unrealistic to expect your plastic surgeon to try)

I deleted the rest but I will upload this photo for those of you asking. The left is 6 weeks post op and the right is before. As you can see my nose is smaller more feminine slightly sloped and less projected. Exactly what I asked for. My nose is doing good and I am so happy I did the surgery. I can breathe perfectly and I don't feel self conscious anymore which is such a good feeling. The only thing I can complain about it a little bump on my columella which some days is more noticeable than others. But it is minor and I am overall soooo happy. From the front I almost look the same just better version of my old nose. Smaller and less pointy and long.

Your nose looked good in the before pic, but now it looks perfect and flawless

I love how yours turned out. I'm 7 days post op and the swelling has me looking like an Avatar. I just want to go out in public already but I'm so self conscious. Dr. Grigoryants said give it a couple weeks and I hope the swelling goes down a lot because I start school Aug 15 and I don't want to look weird !!! Lol

Thank you ! Don't worry, swelling may seem like it will never go away, but it will! Mine was soooo bad for two weeks then started to go away ! Just be patient :) you can also contour your nose while its swollen to hide it! It's helps a lot!

looks great! Did you ask Dr. G not to change the front view?
July 15, 2016
Thank you!
Yes I didn't want it to be changes too much because I wanted to look like the same person. I also never had issues with my front view really, mostly the side.

Wow! You went from having a good looking nose to a perfect nose.
