combining rhinoplasty and breast augmentation - how hard is the post-op recovery?

Hello again realself! I decided to book this silicone BA with my doctor who will be doing a primary rhinoplasty on me as well. I am struggling to find reviews from people who have had both of these procedures combined though I did find a yelp review for my doctor for a girl who had the same two procedures but it wasn't as detailed as a realself review, especially in disclosing what to expect post-op as I imagine recovery will be much harder than just a regular rhinoplasty. Dr. Grigoryants does amazing nose jobs and he is well-known for rhinoplasty but he does do great boobs as well and being that I do not want to have two separate plastic surgeries, go under GA which I've never done before in my life, I decided to book both procedures with him but my main reason for going out there is primarily rhinoplasty.
So I am left thinking and worrying right now about how difficult the recovery would be. I really want to knock two birds with one stone but don't want to suffer either and I need the rhino way more than the boobs.

So I've slept on this bc well, life happened, I got a new amazing job and have been caught up applying for med school. So, I've decided to reward myself! lol
Anywho, I have gone on a few of consults in addition to last year and right now am deciding to go with a doctor I met with most recently last month because he was the most knowledgable, blunt, and explained everything to the T. He was also running a special for the procedure when I initially got in touch with his office and it's comparable to getting the procedure done at NYEE (nyee=teaching hospital where you get surgery done at the PS department through a fellow and they have an attending - usually the fellow can get really top nyc docs to oversee the operation - there with them.) I was going to go with NYEE because well, it's a hospital and you have an entire team of surgeons and also the doctor I consulted with there was AMAZING. However, their administrative team is for one reason or another way too tedious to deal with so I think I will just go with Dr. K in Brooklyn because he has an ambulatory care center in his office.

I can totally relate to your post from 2013 where you mentioned experiencing so much self-doubt while being excited at the same time. I am 24, and have been diligently researching since I was 22... I may get them later this year by the time I am already 25. I have experienced every emotion and gone through every scenario. I am very much into holistic health, yoga, exercise, etc., and it has felt like a hypocritical desire for implants, but the reality is however you want to define it. I hope you've found some peace and ability to love yourself the way you are now, despite aesthetics, because I think that's important before taking the next step into a drastic elective surgery. I wish you the best of luck with whatever you decide upon, and remember to enjoy life no matter what.

Namaste Lemon Lime!!! I am finally getting them done after all this research and I am happy with my decision to book it honestly because I've learned just how much I'd appreciate the enhancement and you know, it's funny to say: but I want to mature a little more in terms of how I carry myself and to feel more feminine. I grew up a tomboy playing loads of sports and in an extent, I am still like that even after college and especially within my family, definitely the least 'girly' one out of all sisters, aunts, cousins.
I will turn 24 when I get them done in a few months and I feel like anytime/any age is a good one so long as one's vision is very clear, expectation realistic and feelings/emotions aligned toward the same holistic vision which is causing a cognitive dissonance before booking it. I overcame said dissonance because ultimately when I weighed the pros and cons, I realized this is an aesthetic addition yes, but it is ever so personal and ever so feminine and in the most empowering way. I want to be and embody this vision of the woman who I want to become and this woman isn't just about physical looks, but rather other achievements, intellectually, professional and most importantly, spiritually.
I think esp in our age range as it's a typical time for us to need to be confident professionally and socially and romantically, that this type of decision can be life changing. Loads of reviews that I read here from women in early thirties and above, post-op, they all say 'I wish I did this in my 20's' and I read it and I'm like "yes!"
Also: I actually live in athletic gear so to be able to wear strapless things is literally so exciting for me you have no idea. I bought this strapless jumpsuit last weekend that I just had to have and much to my chagrin, it fits wonderful every where (I have hips) except the chest area. I look forward to wearing it and I'm also a swimmer so look forward to bikinis ahhhh!

Don't do it :) Real boobs look so much more elegant in clothes and more sophisticated-- parisian chic! My husband hates fake boobs and has begged me not to get them (I am a 32C) and perky and he loves them.

ah but he has a point if you're a c cup girl, that's perfect. You aren't a member of the IBTC! I, on the other hand, wish to resign from the aforementioned committee.

I've had mine a year and a half. Went from b cup to full
D. I don't regret it at all. Most people don't notice. But I can tell in the way my clothes fit. I love them. They do feel a part of me. They don't feel foreign unless I want to stop and think about that and dwell on that fact. They move completely natural, and unless I tell people, they don't know.

Hi. I can feel your anxiety. I was looking at lots of pictures and trying to find answers about profiles, placement etc. That can be so frustrating. Finally, my doctor decided on the size, the placement, the profile. I just told him I wanted it as small as possible. I just wanted to have back what I had before the breadfeeding of 2 children. I am norrow chested too, 27.5" and very thin but my breasts were a good size and shape before my children. After I was done breastfeeding they got deflated. My bra size was 34AA before and now I think it is 34B or C, not sure. The most important thing is that you get good brand implants so that you eliminate possible complecations. The other thing is the placement, which for my doctor and other official sites is going over the muscle. You have no pain in less than a week and they feel more natural because under the gland is where the natural breast tissue is. Look into that more. I do not know why most doctors go under the muscle, there must be a reason. I had a problem in my left breast so if you see my photos you will see the difference, but my right one is what the outcome is in less than 2 months. I got cohesive 2, Mentor silicone, mod.plus,175cc. I think they are a very good size for me, I even want them to look smaller and more natural. The first 2 weeks they felt very heavy and I wanted to have them removed, also because the surgical bra was so tight. Now, I am only going to talk about the right one, feels very soft and I do not feel I have something foreign in there. Do not go with Saline, they break so easily, even though they look more natural. My doctor used a sizer during my surgery and decided then what looks good on me and what my chest size could take. What do you think of my pictures? A girl told me in order to view the other pictures you have to clik on the review, I haven't tried it yet. I was wondering where my other pictures were because I can only see the profile one. I wish you make the right decision. Also, I want to say that no matter how many pictures you show your doctor and what look you want, the outcome will be different on everyone. I guess that depends on the doctor's tecknique and the original shape of the breasts. So, do not get crazy about it, you have to trust your doctor. It is like hairdressers. No matter what you tell them to do on your hair, it comes out differently and they all have a standard way of cutting hair. Waiting to hear your comments.
