Tonssilectimy & complete rhinoplasty done at same time? can this be done?

Yes.: These two procedures can both be performed by an otolaryngologist- head and neck surgeon with the appropriate training/experience. As long as you do not have an active tonsil infection, i would think it should not be a problem.

Yes: Usually these can be performed together. However, the sore throat after the tonsillectomy will be slightly more painful, since for the first several days after the rhinoplasty your nose will be stuffy and you will mouth breathe. Be sure to drink plenty of fluids and keep your throat moist after surgery.

Rhino and tonsils: Yes, it can be done, but you're going to be in so much pain, i would suggest one at a time.

Tonsils & Nose Surg: Tonsillectomy and nasal surgery can be performed at the same time, but you are going to be in a lot of pain. Tonsillectomies hurt, and if your nose is stuffy because of rhinoplasty then your throat will be even drier and more painful since you are forced to only breathe through your mouth. If you can have them separately your recovery will be easier for both.

Tonsil & rhinoplasty: Tonsillectomy and rhinoplasty can be done at the same time. Typically the cleaner procedure of rhinoplasty is done first and then tonsillectomy. It adds about one more hour of work and the recovery is a little harder as tonsillectomy hurts in the throat and rhinoplasty hurts in the nose.
