I have my breast augmentation surgery in 2 weeks!!! I will also be having a rhinoplasty and upper eyelid surgery done at the same time. I have never had any surgeries, besides my wisdom teeth removed. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. I have always had small boobs and after nursing 2 kids for 13 months each, they have some how gotten even smaller!
My nose is another story. It always has been large and has been fractured 2 times. Once in 3 places. It has a hump, and I cannot wait to have a more feminine nose with no hump.
The eyelid surgery is something I have never thought about. When I went in for my consultant it was suggested bc I have droopy eyelids. I figured might as well since my eyes will be swollen from the rhinoplasty. Why not look more refreshed.
I have 2 small children, one will be 4 soon and the other just turned one. My husband and I will be spending 6 days kid free, thanks to my mom, but after that it will be back to reality of stay at home mom. I am also traveling 5hrs from home for my surgeries. We rented a house and be starting the week where I have my surgery so I can have my cast removed before I come home.
Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Here are a few pictures of my nose now.
Has anyone had all 3 procedures done together? I am having trouble finding reviews of all 3, so I really don't know what to expect. I've been taking my multi-vitamin, arnica montana and bromelain everyday for about 4 days, so that will be 18 days before my surgery of having the arnica montana and bromelain. I always take a multi-vitamin so that's no change. I have also been drinking pineapple juice. I ordered a lower back massager, a wedge pillow, round ice packs and a full face ice mask. I am also going to order post op recovery bras. Any other advice would be greatly appreciated. 14 days to go!!!!

Hi! I haven't had all three things done at once, but I had mu nose done almost a year and half ago. And to this day, it's one of the best decisions I've ever made for myself. I also took bromelain, arnica montana, and drank a lot of pineapple juice before the rhinoplasty. And I swear because of that, I had no bruising. None, at all. I think I may have had a little bit of yellow under my eyes for one day, but that's it. And I did't take any pain medication at all. I took Tylenol the second day, but that was it. The strangest feeling is when the doctor takes the backing out of your nose. Mine was wedged into my sinuses, and when he pulled it out, it was the strangest thing I have ever felt. But to be able to breath afterwards is amazing! My doctor did a lot of tip work, and I'm still not fully healed. When I take a shirt or sweatshirt or something off, and I happen to hit my nose pulling it off, I still have a bit of soreness. I have a review and pictures posted if you care to look at them. :)
I'm also getting my breasts done on February 17th and cannot wait! What cc's are you thinking of getting? I'm around your build and thinking of anywhere between 300cc-340cc moderate/moderate plus profile, silicone, under the muscle.

So happy to hear you Love your nose, it looks AMAZING!!!! I need a lot of tip work as well. I'm SOOO nerveous. How painful was it? I have never had surgery so I'm kind of just diving in lol. I'm praying that they do not have to do packing, as I have read that it makes it so much worse pain/breathing wise. Did it hurt really bad when they took the packing out?
How much pineapple juice did you drink each day? I'm drinking about 10oz right now but thinking about upping it as I am 6 days from my surgery

Hi! Thank you so much! I still stare at it everyday in the mirror because it' so much prettier than it was! That was also my first real surgery. I was al little nervous, too, but once you're there, and you talk to the nurses and everything gets going, you'll relax a bit. Then you'll get the anesthesia, and you're out, and then you wake up so much prettier!!!! And happier. The little bit of discomfort/bandaging for the first week and swelling for a few months after was all worth it!
The post-op pain really wasn't painful at all. I only used Tylenol the second day. The first day, you're still out of it a bit from the anesthesia, so you may just sleep for most of it. The packing didn't hurt while it was in my nose, but I could only great out of my mouth while it was in. When they took it out, it didn't hurt either, it just felt like i had two huge spaghetti noodles coming out of my nose. Ha! I don't know how else to explain it, and it literally took about two seconds on each side. But even after the packing comes out, your nose will still be super swollen on the inside because of the work. Especially, if you're getting a lot done to it.
As far as the pineapple juice, I drank one big glass a day, which is probably equal to the amount you're drinking. :)

That helps calm my nervous a little lol.
For some reason my post got cut off. I am hoping to get 550cc-600cc below the muscle. My doctor uses mentor gel silicone implants and I am going under the muscle. I want a full D/DD. I read so many reviews of people wishing they would have went bigger, I don't want boob greed lol. I wore my rice sizers yesterday and really liked the way 550cc felt, but I have been reading if you go under the muscle that you need to go up a few ccs as the look smaller.
