Ear surgery with other procedures can be done

Philip Young, MD answers: Can ear surgery be combined with other procedures?

Can an otoplasty (ear surgery) be combined with other procedures like a rhinoplasty or facial implant? What do I need to know about doing multiple procedures with an otoplasty?

You can have multiple procedures, but with that comes an extra cost, but also possibly additional savings when you combine procedures. You should really think about the comfort level for yourself after multiple procedures. 

When multiple procedures are done, there is more to take care of and more to consider in terms of your appearance. You will need to get used to differences in your appearance in mulitple different areas, and this is something you should really think about. 

The more procedures, the longer the surgery time, and sometimes the more recovery as well. Each area needs to be considered on its own and attention to detail for each procedure is a must on the part of you and particulary your surgeon. You should be comfortable that your surgeon will do his best for each procedure which really carries its own particular nuances. Someone with a good sense of aesthetics is a must.
