Hi everyone! I've seriously wanted my nose done for the longest time. I was hit directly in the face by a softball when I was 6 years old and that left my nose a bit of a mess. My parents agreed to pay for my procedure, as they know it will strengthen my self confidence and I have been discussing it with them at length for a year or so now. I just booked my rhinoplasty (potentially septorhinoplasty) consultation with Dr. Stephen Cohen.

I'm so glad that you joined us to share your journey, and thanks for including before photos. Those softballs, I know so many people who've been hit in the face by one -- sorry it caused such damage to your nose. I'm so glad to hear that your parents are being supportive of your decision and paying for your surgery -- that's a load off your shoulders. Good luck on your consultation, here is a list of questions that you might find helpful to take with you. I also thought you would find the following helpful: TOP 10 RHINOPLASTY TIPS FOR BEFORE AND AFTER SURGERY. We also have a RealSelf Video Library where you can learn more about getting a Rhinoplasty.  Good luck!

Hi can I ask you. Did you tell the dr what you wanted or did you just let him do his thing ?

Usually how it goes at rhinoplasty consults is the doctor tells you first what is possible/what he can do for you, and then you can add any commentary after that. Dr. G shared my exact aesthetic, so I knew going into the appointment and after his suggestions that I didn't want to change a single suggestion of his :) It may work differently depending on your surgeon, but be firm in your desires and wishes for your nose if something that the surgeon you choose to go with makes a suggestion you may not like or are wary about.

Ok I'm getting it done by him in February I know he's amazing but I'm still so nervous but your nose like I said before is the best I seen. I ansolutly love jt. Most of his pictures are great but I have seen one or two people that aren't happy with him and there pics look like [RS bleep] also and I just can't figure out how that happens becuSe normally he so good.

Honestly plastic surgery, especially rhinoplasty, has pretty varied results. I trust in Dr. G 110%, but that doesn't mean he's perfect or that every nose he does will turn out just like you want it to. Feel free to show him my pictures as inspiration pics if you really want to show him exactly what you want! He may say that he's not able make your nose look just like someone else's, simply because your nose won't be the exact same as another person's. That's the only problem with wish pics, your anatomy could potentially be very different. Anyways, best of luck! Can't wait to see your updates in February if you choose to post :)

After interviewing several doctors, I was able to nab a quick email consultation with Dr. Grigoryants since I am eager to get my surgery done this summer before school starts again at the end of August. His reviews on here are absolutely incredible, not to mention he has almost 200 before and after rhinoplasty photos on his website - I couldn't find a single one I didn't like! His emails were extremely prompt in response, his office staff was totally personable and I am over the moon excited to say I will finally be getting this done after 7 long years of waiting. My pre-op is July 9th, going under the knife on August 1st!

Hi sidneymvilla! That can be hard without parent support, I am here for you if you need anything. I went on his website and sent an email request for a consultation. I mentioned in the notes that I wanted to have my surgery on or before August 15th, 2016 in the description and they emailed me back within a day to set up the email consult

Grigoryants Girl After 7 Years of Waiting!

Hi Real Self Family! I've been waiting to share my story with you all
for a long time, and the days have finally come. Like many of you on
here, I've disliked my nose for as long as I can remember. When I was 6
years old, I was hit in the face with a softball, which left my septum
deviated and caused it to lean left. I remember being 12 years old
asking my for a nose job. My parents said that if I waited a few years
and still didn't like it, then I could get it done and they would pay
for it. Here we are 7 years later, I'm 19 now, and finally going through
with it! This website and the journeys others have taken the time to
post are inspiring and helped affirm my decision to move forward with
this surgery. I'm hoping that this septorhinoplasty will help fix my
deviated septum, wide bridge, nostril asymmetry, and dorsal hump. My
pre-op is scheduled for July 9th, 2016 and my surgery is officially
scheduled for August 1st! This couldn't come any sooner - I am so
excited. Feel free to ask me any questions you guys may have. I'm here
to share with you my story, so that I can inform and help those who may
be in need of aid!

I'm so excited for you! I too got hit in the face with a softball when I was younger so our noses look very similar. Can't wait to see your results. Good luck with everything :)

Thanks ruby431! It was so hard for me to find other noses on here that were similar to mine, so I'm glad I can be that person for you
