Specializes in Plastic Surgery

Yes: It is very common to have multiple cosmetic procedures in one setting. However, there is a limit. Most surgeons try to keep the operative time less than six hours to minimize the risk of complications.

Dual procedures: Absolutely, combined procedures can be performed . It depends on the length of time of all your procedures combined and your surgeons preferences as well as yours. There are times where it makes sense to do multiple procedures to obtain the best balancing of your features.

Yes, but: I would follow the advice of your surgeon. Some procedures combine well while others are best performed in a staged fashion for the best outcomes. Ask their opinion about combining the procedures.

Yes but...: Yes, surgical procedures can often be acombined fashion. Of course, safety will always be the first priority; best to avoid surgical times that are too long. Also, make sure you have appropriate motivation for the additional procedure; do not undergo additional surgery just because you are “under anesthesia anyway”. Understanding potential risks/complications always important. Best wishes.

Rhinoplasty and more: Rhinoplasty and else nose surgery can be done at the same time as other surgeries, such as a facelift, litelift™, or brow lift. Chin augmentation with a small implant may be recommended to help create better facial harmony and an improved profile, making the size of the nose more proportionate to other facial features. https://pacificcenterplasticsurgery.com/procedures/face/nose-reshaping/.

Combo surgery: can certainly be done and a rhinoplasty and cheek implants can be done together as well. If your surgeon is reluctant, ask why and if the reasons are valid, consider doing the procedures separately. Or find another surgeon that would be willing to do what you desire and whom you are trusting of.

Yes but...: It's possible to do two procedures at the same time, but I suggest consulting with your surgeon first. The recovery time may be longer with two procedures being done.

Specializes in Plastic Surgery

Individualize: Every procedure, or combination of procedures, need to be individualized for each patient. In general, it is very common to combine facial plastic surgery procedures in the same operation. As long as it is safe, and the results will be predictable it is worth discussing this with your plastic surgeon.
