Yes.: http://www.facialplastics.info/rhinoplasty.html it's very common for a person to undergo a rhinoplasty in conjunction with turbinate reduction or septoplasty surgery. There is no added risk of performing the surgeries together, though recovery time may be extended slightly before a patient can see and feel optimal results.

Yes: It is very common to do septoplasty and turbinate surgery at the same time as rhinoplasty so that you can breathe better with a better looking nose.

Rhinoplasty: These procedures are performed together often in the context of functional rhinoplasty. Be sure to have your nose evaluated by a board certified facial plastic surgeon.
