Rhinoplasty with Dr. Grigoryants, happy!

One year post up update!
WORTH IT$9,400
First of all, I'm so sorry for being away for so long!! It's now a year since my operation, and I really feel I owe you guys a one year update. If any of you that followed me are still here, lol.
I'm still very happy with my nose. It might sound like a cliche, but it has change my life. Being able to go a day without being insecure about in what angle people look at me is a feeling I can't remember I've had before my operation. I feel I have a more soft look now, and it fits my personality more than my old nose.
With that said, you can never be 100% pleased, can you? I still like my left side better, my nose looks more cuter and upturned from the left in my opinion. I also feel that I have a bit too much nostril-show. Especially the right side. And I also feel my columella has dropped too much the last 6 months. I emailed this to Grigoryants. He said it could be the last swelling (the swelling goes downwards). I still feel I have good and bad nose-days. Is this possible after 1 year post op?
My breathing has been odd. The left "airway" feels too open. It makes a "loud" nose when I breathe, so I cover half of this nostril with tape every night. Now it's become a habit, so I bring my tape everywhere I go, lol.
Feel free to ask questions, I'm going to be more online from now!

2 months post
Almost 2 months post op
I was going to make a 2 months update that would be the 25th of March, but it's now I got the time:)
I've decided to change my status to "worth it". The reason why I didn't do this before is because a lot can happen post op. Now that it's been 2 months I feel nothing really bad can happen to it. (Hope so at least!) I am really happy with my results, but I hope the tip will shrink and become a bit more defined from the front. I like one side a bit better that the other (I prefer the left side) which I also did before my surgery. Do you like one of the sides better that the other?
It's so lovely not feel like hiding my nose anymore! Before I didn't let anyone see me in profile, and it was so exhausting to always plan everything around my nose..where to sit, where to stand.. Not anymore!!!
I stopped using saline spray, and I tape maybe once a week, when I feel like waking up with a hint of a tinier nose and if I don't tape;)
It's still tender some places.
A question for you that have had surgery: Did you see any changes in your nose after 2 months? If so- what changed?
Thanks again for all your supportive comments!:)

your nose looks great!! I'm exactly 4.5 months today, and I feel like my tip dropped a lot from 3-4 months. I think my tip was really high so that's why, but I'm really happy with where it's at now and I hope it doesn't drop anymore. I also favor one side! so glad you are happy with your great results!
March 15, 2016
Thank you! When will you make an update? Would like to see it! Ah, I really don't want my tip to drop anymore:( now I'm getting nervous
March 17, 2016
don't be nervous! sometimes I wonder if I'm just used to it and that's why it seemed to have dropped? lol. mine was up so high I think that's why. but I love it! yours is perfect!
March 15, 2016
I think it looks BEAUTIFUL! Unfortunately, I can't answer your questions since I got my cast off today, but I can say that you look perfect from both sides! Question...how long did you use saline spray? I don't want to become dependent upon it, but my nose is feeling super dry without it! Thanks!
March 15, 2016
Thank you!! I used it for a month I think. And I also used Vaseline inside my nose at night to prevent dryness. Just carefully use a q-tip. Hope your nose heals well!:)
March 16, 2016
OMG!!! Thanks for the tip! The vaseline worked perfectly! I slept so much better. Cheers!
March 15, 2016
I wish I could answer your questions, but I can say your nose looks beautiful :)!! Omg I love it and it really does look more refined in each update you make! Thanks for all your help.
March 17, 2016
Yes definitely more in the tip! I honestly love it! Can't wait to see it at the one year mark :)
March 15, 2016

3 weeks post op, and compare swelling
Just wanted to do a 3 weeks post, hope you're interested! I'm so incredibly happy with my result!! It feels unreal.. I've been holding back a little, because I know it can change, and ofcourse it still can. I just hope the changes will be for the better and not the other way around!
I've started to sleep normally again (not elevated), and I can absolutely see this affect the swelling. My tip is very round these days. I've seen it more defined, so I guess it's swelling.
I've added one side by side picture for you to compare the swelling. The left side is 5 days post op (the day after cast off), and the one on the right is 15-18 days post op. You can see how it changed,right?? So for you who deals with swelling, it will get better!
I don't have a lot more to update actually, if you have any questions feel free to ask :)
Actually I have one for you: When did you start to exercise again? Like weightlifting and running?
And also: What do you think it's the difference between my left and right side? (if you think there's any).

Some surgeons say to just tape while you sleep so the swelling is not so bad in the morning. id place one under the columella and one right on the supratip . You will see the major difference in the morning:-) I'd get the gentle surgical tape they sell at the pharmacy. It's not very sticky and will come off gently in the shower unlike the one they give you at the office. you look wonderful.
February 17, 2016
Thank you for your compliment and advice:) I've taped every night since castoff, even sometimes in daytime. Maybe I'll check out the sensitive one!:)

you look so pretty, I can see a lot of swelling going down. I dont see any difference between your right and left side. Did he change the shape of your nostrils during surgery?
