Hi there!
I remember feeling really nervous also the week before the actual surgery. Dr. Nick and his staff did an awesome job giving me the time to ask any questions I needed to make me feel comfortable about the procedures. Still scary though, I know! I had a pretty complicated nose surgery also. It was a rhino/septoplasty and I had a bump also. I will tell you the recovery from that was pretty tough, ok, really tough. The breasts was a walk in the park. The breast tenderness only lasted 5-7 days I think, and that was all I really felt was just tenderness, and I got gels behind the muscle too. The nose was quite another story. I vomited every time I sat up for the first 24 hours, even with the anti-nausea meds. I'm not a big pill taker so I tried pushing my need for drugs further and further to see if I could cope without them. That was stupid. Believe me, you need them. I think I only took them for about 5 days then felt good enough to stop taking them so often. It will be incredibly important for you to have someone take care of you at least the first 3-4 days if not the whole first week after surgery. But again, so worth it with the results and confidence I feel now. The best thing is that my nose now looks just like my brothers (who never broke his) and I never brought in a picture of him to show Dr. S. He just created this nose that he felt was very natural and proportioned with my face. I'm still astonished with the results. It's absolutely perfect! And I can breathe out of my nose right now too!
As for my breasts I was a very sad and deflated 32C pre-surgery. I got 452cc's, thinking that would make me a full DD. Ha! I'm an H now. One piece of advice I will give you though. They tell you not to go buy bras for at least the first 6 weeks. I went and spent a ton of money at about week 9 after my surgery on new size E bras (that was my size then), but they kept moving and adjusting into their new little pockets and have settled at a 32H at one year post surgery. So be careful about spending too much money early on on new bras.
