    8 months post op before and after
    Natasha C.

    I am now 4 years since my surgery and it is still the best decision I could've made. It took about 2 years for everything to fully settle, especially since I'm Caribbean blood and have thicker skin. But I wouldn't change a thing!

    got my nose job almost two years ago and Dr grigoryants did an amazing job!!! Healing was painless and quick, and he did exactly what I asked of him. This is my pre and 21 month Post op picture side by side. Breathing issues are fixed and feel super confident.

    I can honestly say Dr. Vladimir Gregorints is the best rhinoplasty surgeon. My family and I did a lot of research before choosing him, and I'm so glad we did. Everyone I know who went to him has amazing results. My mom had her surgery with him 5 years ago and her nose still looks perfect. My aunt had hers done 18 years ago and it still looks just as good today. As a guy, it was really important for me to find a doctor who could give me a natural look, not something that looks obviously "done." Some of my friends had surgery in Armenia, but I didn't like the results because they didn't look natural. Choosing Dr. Gregorints was the best decision I could have made. I'm 3 months post-op now and I love my results more every day. Not only is he a skilled surgeon, but his office is also amazing. Everyone there is kind, welcoming, and professional. Dr. Gregorints himself truly cares about his patients. He personally schedules follow-ups at 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year to check your progress, which is rare and shows how much he values his work and your satisfaction. During consultations, he was friendly, patient, and treated me like family, almost as if he were treating his own kid. If you want a surgeon who delivers perfect, natural results and genuinely cares about his patients, I 100% recommend Dr. Gregorints. He is the best.

    I'm thrilled to share my incredible experience with getting a rhinoplasty, as I'm now three months post-op and couldn't be happier with the results! From the very first consultation I knew i wanted to continue this process , I felt supported and confident in my decision, thanks to the expertise and care of Dr. Vladimir. The procedure itself went smoothly, and the recovery process was much easier than I expected, with minimal discomfort. Now, I'm feeling and looking better than ever my new nose perfectly complements my face, and I've noticed a huge boost in my confidence. A huge thank you to my doctor for his skillful work and dedication to helping me achieve my desired results. I couldn't have asked for a better experience! I had a deviated septum and a noticeable dorsal hump on my nose, which made breathing difficult and left me really insecure especially about my side profile. My nose also drooped when I smiled, which was something that always bothered me. I can't thank Dr. Vladimir and staff enough for this amazing journey , you've truly changed my life for the better!

    Got my surgery Jan 12 2024, I explain to him that I wanted a thinner nose, smaller nostrils and bump on my nose gone. He added that he was going to fix the bridge of my nose because it's crooked. The surgery was a success, at the moment I was happy. Although as days continue I even called the office and said that my nose still looks very wide almost as if nothing changed. I asked the receptionist if I stated that on the documents and she confirmed. They told me that let some months past because of the swelling. May 16 2024 I went for a check up, I was a bit upset how it went because it's as if he was rushing me out. I explained that I wanted a thinner nose and he said that it's because the swelling hasn't gone down takes about 1 year. I also told him I had a bump on one side of the nose, he said it's retention of water then said ok I'll see you next time no pictures of progress were taken. March 6 2025 had another post off appointment, I told him that one of my nostrils is smaller and that the bridge of my nose is crooked. I wasn't rude if anything I was shy to tell him that but honestly my nose job was a birthday gift person spent $16k. He AGREED that one of my nostrils is smaller. He continue to say the same thing that it's still swollen. I mentioned about my nose bridge and changed the topic and said let's take some pictures. He couldn't find the original pictures before I got the appointment to sign the papers so my surgery. The surgery wasn't cheap at all, just kinda sad that even people that knew I got a surgery pointed those things out. To the point now I don't even say I got a surgery because I'm not 100% happy. I took this long because he also kept on telling me the swelling will go down and that my nose will appear thinner. I been waiting since. Just wanted to share.

    I first contacted Dr. Grigoryants and his team in 2022. His consultation via email was very detailed and thorough, but when you have the opportunity to meet in person, it's even better! After our initial consultation, I decided to take some time to research before committing to rhinoplasty. When I was ready, I reached out to Dr. Grigoryants again, and we seamlessly picked up where we had left off. My surgery was scheduled for May 2, 2024. Dr. Grigoryants takes his time to review your photos with you and thoroughly explains the process, outlining what he would do to help you achieve the best possible results. He was very clear about the shape that would suit me best and the steps he would take to straighten my nose, correct my deviated septum, and reduce my large nostrils. It was so reassuring to know he understood my goals and shared my vision for improvement. In addition to rhinoplasty, I decided to have otoplasty at the same time. I was the first surgery of the day at 5:30 AM. The facility was clean, comfortable, and the staff was wonderful throughout the entire process. The experience was an absolute 10 out of 10. Now, four months post-op, Dr. Grigoryants continues to follow up, monitoring my healing process. I am thrilled with my results--they are not overdone, just very natural, which is exactly what I was looking for. No one would ever know I had surgery. I couldn't be more grateful to Dr. Grigoryants and his team. Thank you so much!

The surgical center he works with was amazing. Its a major hospital affiliated surgical center in Glendale. Not some building floor with surgical equipment. Overall process was great. I was walking the next day. Now about the doctor. I am very pleased with the results. He is the type of a doctor, that doesn't like to push the envelope. Always educates you, what is dangerous, what is allowed to do. As a person with no medical background, we don't know, what is safe, what is yellow line and what is red line. He gives you natural results. If you looking for a doctor, to give you natural look, and perform your surgery with safe medical standards he is the one to choose. For example, during my consult he told me that he will not do "to the bone" lipo. Some fat must be left for protection. I know some doctors will do it, because that is the best results right and the patient is asking for it? Take as much fat as possible approach. But is it safe for your body? Is is medically accepted practice. Those are the questions I asked myself, and did a lot of research, when I chose to take the route of liposuction surgery. For me Safety is first during surgery, my health afterwards is second. Then followed by results and outcome. I also took into consideration his more than 30 years experience in plastic surgery. Hope this was helpful for someone who is in search of good plastic surgeon.

    She is a very unethical doctor that is only concerned about how much money she can make and my…read moreexperience has proven that. I have TMJ and this year had gone through 3 root canals because of cracked teeth due to the TMJ. I had exhausted all other normal course of action to remedy and relieve the TMJ but nothing was working and was spending a lot of money on my dental work. My dentist introduced me to the option of Botox (pricey and not covered) and it had helped a lot. I reached out to my medical insurance to see if this could be a covered treatment for my TMJ as it would be needed every 3 month in my jaw and they said yes with a prior authorization and if a medical doctor administered it. I was thrilled because all the other medications and dental appliances I had tried had failed and the Botox provided relief to my painful jaw and I had hope it would prevent further cracking of anymore more teeth and I wouldn't have to shell out $1,000+ every 3 months since it was not cosmetic related. I had reached out to some in network dermatologist and quickly found out that doctors did not want to help me or provide that service as in network or help me submit the PA which I now know is because they want people to pay the full cost of the Botox even if for medical reasons. Then I found Doctor Austin and she said she would help me but I needed to submit it on my own but would give me the codes and information I needed but due to the extensive extra work on their end I would need to do it which was totally fine. She and was in network but I was grateful, I told her my troubles in finding an in network doctor willing to help me. We agreed that I would pay cash up front and I would submit my bill to my insurance because she was weary my insurance would not reimburse her but with my PA approved I was not worried. My insurance company informed me it was odd that she did not bill them for the service directly since the PA was approved but either way the Botox for my jaw was fully approved and she had a contracted rate per unit with my insurance. Before paying, the Doctor mentioned to me that she had many patients come in with PA and were not successful in getting reimbursed which I thought was an odd comment to make since I had all the proper documents and asked if I would send her a copy of the PA. I paid $1,125 for 80 units so $14 a unit on a credit card and was not charged a 3% processing fee. She sent me a super bill and worked with me a few times on the revision that my insurance needed so she knew I was billing my insurance. My insurance also had been sending her copies of everything (again they were treating her like a regular in network provider despite me paying cash upfront like an out of network provider) A few months later after I get the EOB from my insurance company which stated they would be reimbursing me $404.48, my portion that I owed was $101.12 but then it stated amount saved for using an in network provider was $619.40. I called my insurance to ask what that amount was and was told that amount is owed to me from the Doctor since she is in network, that is the contracted rate she agreed to for the service she gave you and they advised me to contact her for a refund. I was thrilled as I was going to save even more after spending thousands on my teeth and even more on prior Botox at dental offices and now this will be covered under my insurance plan, this is when things got ugly. After leaving a voicemail at the main doctor's office I get a call from the Doctors billing department from a woman who is irate (gave no name). She told me the following: the Doctor is terminating our patient/doctor relationship due to my insurance low bill rates, the Doctor had no idea I was going to bill my insurance, the doctor should have made me sign something prohibiting me from going to my insurance, now that I have gone to my insurance the doctor is taking a loss on this service. I assume most in network patients who the doctor has helped with PA previously probably get the check from their insurance providers thinking that is all they are owed and never go back to Dr Austin for the remaining balance and I was the first one to do it and she was upset that I did (again I assume because my experience with in network doctors is they were unwilling to help me with medical Botox). Unfortunately, I did not receive cosmetic Botox and the Doctor is an in-network provider and is obligated to bill rates assigned by the insurance company and in return she gets patient referrals. She then goes to process a refund to my method of payment on my credit card that I paid off 3 months ago for $600.82 with a receipt she charged me showing a 3% credit card processing of $18.50! She never charged me that when I paid for the services the first time and nothing in my patient paperwork stated paying with a credit card comes with a fee. It was very petty and felt almost personal.

They always make sure have complete information. That takes a lot of stress away. I had reconstruction surgery on my nose from a Mohs surgery and Dr. Austin did a terrific job. Ever part if the process went exactly as she said and I couldn't be happier with the results. If you are looking for a doctor that you want to feel comfortable with, I highly recommend Dr. Austin and her staff!

Dr. Yuan graduated from Johns Hopkins University Medical School after an undergraduate degree from UC Berkeley. She did a residency at Cedars. Her educational background isn't to be questioned but it was her personal demeanor that impressed me. The appointment was so thorough, the questions so thoughtful, and the treatment of the patient so empathetic, that I knew we made a great decision to see her. We had a surgery scheduled elsewhere that was postponed within two weeks of the date of surgery. Dr. Yuan met within us three days of the postponement. It was out of network for our insurance coverage and all was set up through Melody, her office assistant who couldn't be nicer nor more communicative. No guesswork here, all explained. They will get through barriers of bureaucracy if possible. And they will find a way to help. Real compassion. The office itself is in a building with free parking, not an easy find in this area. Quick aside, the views of the mountains from the patient rooms are astounding. Alll the equipment and furniture is pristine and good luck finding any dust or lint. When going under the knife or arranging a surgery for a loved one, you need to have trust and faith in the surgeon and the journey from start to after care. Building that trust quickly to schedule a surgery is a hard ask. Yet, it developed over the time spent in the consolation and with the absolute professionalism throughout the booking experience and initial consultation. Dr. Yuan also provided pictures of successful surgeries she has completed. All in all, a first class experience with genuine human connection that isn't easy to describe but you will know it when you feel it. Certainly worth your time to seek her opinion and see if it is a fit for your needs.
