I have a little nose with some defects I would like to improve the shape..and I have seen the beautiful noses made by Doctor G!
I have decided to book the surgery ! I' ll be in LA in September! Do you have any suggestions for me? I am slightly nervous for the language and I have already written everything for the consultation! What makes me scared is the general anesthesia!!!:-///

Dr G will work wonders!! I am having my surgery in August!

Good luck dear!!!! We can talk through pm! Best wishes

Hi! I recommend that you stay in an Airbanb near the hospital. It offers more privacy and is less expensive than a hotel.

My surgery is scheduled for March and will be staying at an Airbnb for about a week post-surgery nearby.

Best of luck! He will give you a beautiful nose :)

Dear good luck for your surgery!! I have booked Best western in glendale! Because i have seen that near the hospital there aren't apt, the closest are in Glendale! Or did you find something closer?
February 18, 2016
Hi! Thank you for the well wishes :)

The apartment where I will be staying is 14 miles away from the hospital. The Best Western where you'll be staying is definitely closer. I wanted an Airbnb since I'll be flying with my husband and he'll be preparing healthy meals and smoothies. Did you look on Airbnb?

I haven't looked it yet but i need some apt near supermarket in the center because my mother doesn't drive and I don't know if I will convince my boyfriend to come! I have almost 6 months to find and change!

I too was a little worried about general anesthesia but it really isn't anything, you are put to sleep in a heart beat and you wake up feeling a bit drowsy, kind of like a hangover after partying hard lol. The way I looked at it is 1 week of recovery is worth a lifetime of aesthetic results.

Doctor G don't ask for a chest radiography that in Italy needs before general anesthesia...that s weird! Do Americans use different anesthesia from Italian ?

I am getting mine done two weeks before you! I a, staying at an Airbnb. Honestly, anestsia is nothing to worry about if you are healthy. I am following on Instagram "rhinoplastydiary" and there are thousands of people posting on there and everyone claims to do fine with it!! Good luck!

Hello! I'm from Spain and I would like to have a secondary Rhinoplasty with Grigoryants too. So please tell me your progress!
How long are you going to stay in the US? The tests can be done in your country? Can you use your italian health insurance in case you have breath problems?
I don't know if I'm going to be able to travel with someone. I don't think that my mother is going to support neither the rhinoplasty nor travelling so far to get it, and my boyfriend definitely doesn't and he doesn't want to waste his few holidays on that. I feel so lonely!
Hope it goes well ;)

Could I come to LA alone??

Cathysweet
Nobody agree in my family to come overthere for the rhinoplasty! Do you think that I could come overthere alone? I come from Italy! Grigoryant 's assistant told me they have nurses for
People who come
Alone...what do you think? Is there anyone who went alone?

I think it is safe to come alone. They have nurses who can be with you if you need it. You can order food online. Just come a couple of days earlier so you can stock your refrigerator

I have booked the flight the 1 of september and i leave the 19! The surgery is the 8! Is Los Angeles sage for me? I am worried about but i wish i could come anyway!:-)
May 17, 2016
Yes, it's safe! You'll be fine. Hire a nurse and stay in a nice hotel.
May 17, 2016
Okkkk!!! And for all the other days i will stay there? Before the surgery and after?
May 17, 2016
You will be fine! Don't worry and believe me quite a few people travel alone for their surgery especially when they live overseas! So please don't worry and anesthesia is the easy part! The recovery and swelling is the The worst! You'll be alright and back home before you know it!
May 17, 2016
Have you taken the surgery alone? Do you know people that had it? Thank you for your suggestion!!:-)))

I'm going alone!!!! I'm originally from Brazil (of Italian descent actually, hence the big nose haha) And I'm going from NYC. Arriving there on the 9th. Send me a message if you want. Take care
