New year, new nose!- Rhinoplasty by Dr Grigoryants, Glendale.

Hi :) yes I've seen few reviews about Dr S but definitely not as many as the ones about Dr G which is what concerns me as I would like the best surgeon out there if they're going to touch my face. But I realise that one of the reasons why there aren't as many reviews about Dr S is due to the fact that plastic surgery in Australia as a whole, isn't as popular or is done as frequently as the United States. Do you mind me asking you did your primary?

Thank you! Will keep you posted :)

Thank you for replying. I really appreciate your response! I just looked at your profile & your nose looks so natural and cute! Congrats you must be over the moon!! And I can understand the recovery can be difficult however, I'm just that type of person that prefers to deal with my beaten up looking face on my own rather than stress out the loved ones about me haha. So in that sense, I'm not too worried but I get what you're saying :) my question to you is- how many consults did you have with Dr S prior to your surgery? And does he charge for all of his pre-op consultations? And did he tell you approximately, how many Rhinoplasty's he does every week?

HI, I asked at my last consult and he does about 20 Rhinoplasty's a month. I had two consults with him before my surgery and he charges for the first one, But I don't think I paid for the second one before the op. I thought the same as you: that I'll be fine recovering alone and not having to bother anyone of my friends/family (that I'm a tough cookie and so on ;) but Dr. S looked really worried when I said that and had he know that I don't have a carer I am sure he wouldn't have performed the op on me - that's how important it is and I know for a fact you are underestimating the importance of that right now... I can not imagine moving around, heating up meals or getting myself something to drink the first 3 days, you are in a lot of discomfort, probably feeling nauseas and not stable on your feet... you are under risk of falling or passing out and bump your nose. I even needed help going to the bathroom the first couple of times. I think if any surgeon gives his 'OK' for someone to recover through a rhinoplasty alone (at least the first 2 days) then this is highly irresponsable of him/her.

Thank you for your reply :) it's assuring to know that you were very happy with Dr S. That really gives me a lot of peace of mind! Do you have any pre and post pictures you could share with me?

But i feel like mine's still growing and i'm much older than 16 lol! I never even paid attention to my nose as a child, as a matter of fact, boobs are what i used to want. But now, Rhinoplasty all the way haha.

I think noses and ears never stop growing...have to google it haha

Hi, I'm not sure but I've heard a lot of people go to him for revisions. You'll be able to find people that's had revisions with him on real self :)

Hey :) no I haven't yet although my mind is set 80% on Dr Grigorysnts in America at the moment, purely because him and I have corresponded with each other via email and he's been able to answer my questions directly and promptly. I haven't yet consulted Dr Shahidi in Sydney yet but I may do that sometime early next year. The pros and cons for seeing either surgeons are on par as far as what I've weighed up so far. I like to think that the probability that something will go wrong with the surgery is very low. But you are right, should I require to travel again, Sydney is far less of a distance should it be required.. The only issue with Dr S is that his reputation is far less known in comparison to Dr G who is world renown for his positive results. So that reassures my mind. I just don't think the surgeons in Australia are experienced enough in this type of surgery and that concerns me greatly. The cost works out to be about the same overall. I need to call Dr G's rooms and see when his next booking is available for next year. I would recommend that you contact the surgeon that you have in mind in the U.S and try to get as much information as possible and make up for the lost consultations you'd have due to not being local to him/her. Then weigh up the pros and cons. Which surgeon in Australia do you have in mind and where about a are you based at the moment, if you don't mind me asking? :) We can go through this journey together if you like since we're in the same predicament :) xx

Hey! thats good you have been corresponding with Dr Grigorysnts. Its good to feel comfortable and i dont think getting surgery in another country should stop anyone because this is not something you can take back once done so its so important to go to the right doctor! Its so hard to find the right doctor because there are so many especially in the U.S! Its good to see peoples posts and comments and pictures that have had surgery done with the doctor you are looking at, alot of posts are "known" to be fake but thats why pics and blogs help :) In america they have so so many surgeons that have alot of experience!! If you look at the amount of books or study and what they have done in relation to plastic surgery ect its alot compared to Australia! So i get what you mean about wanting to go to Dr G, I was also looking up Dr Rod Rohrich in Dallas, America he seems to be very good and specialises in Rhinoplasty which i think in important rather than someone who does alot of breast implants and all other things at their practice. No thats ok :) I used to live in Dubai for 3 years and a half and while there i also had consultation in DUbai and the Dr drew my nose on paper to do the shape!!!! Nothing matched up to what they promised on the website and she wanted me to do surgery straight away, i was like nooooooo way hahah never again going there!! Now i live in Serbia because my boyfriend is from here. When i lived in Dubai i was working and it was easy to travel to any country to get my nose done but i chose Profiles Beverly hills in Los angeles but it didnt go through because of my leave i got. Now while here in Serbia i was looking at Dr Rod Rohrich and he has cheaper price but its not because he is not as good its because of where his location is and he is in Dallas. Each surgery is cheaper and more expensive based on which state it is in, so if same surgeon was working in New York the price is more than if he works in Dallas! I am moving to Australia prob in 6-10 months and i have lived in Serbia for 6 months now. I am unemployed so when i first moved to Australia i wanted to get my nose done before i started work. So you are going to look at getting your nose done next year? what are you wanting to get done to you nose if you dont mind me asking also :) My nose is ok i just want to look more feminine and it always looks so big in photos and on the side i feel self conscious but i can live with it but i would rather not , i was thinking of going with Dr Shahidi in Australia because he seems to have the best real reviews that i have seen and i guess i have to go on that because i cant go around to different consultations when i dont live there. Also he will not skype to do a consultation cuz he does alot more like he checks inside and outside of nose ect but the consultation i did for profiles we just had skype so it makes Dr Shahidi seem way more professional and more trusting. I will have a look at the doctor you are looking at! :) Have you looked at all the questions you ask a surgeon ? like how many rhinoplasties they do and all questions like that? Is he with the American society of plastic surgeons and is he a member of "the rhinoplasty society" ect? So you have weighed up the pros and cons of surgery in Aus and in the U.S and the prices range the same?? Yeh sure its good to have someone else with the same ideas :) Sorry about my long msg hahah xo

IM looking at Dr G now and i remember i looked at him a while ago but i cant remember what i read haha i will look again now! He looks like he has alot of reviews
