I am planning on having a breast augmentation with lift, and Rhinoplasty in a few months. They won't be performed at the same time as I have chosen two different surgeons. What I am looking to know is how long I would need to wait between the surgeries. If the waiting time is significant, I will have to pick which one I prefer to have done first, so I am just looking for a general time frame. The rhinoplasty is going to be performed under twilight anesthesia instead of general, and I'm not sure if that makes a difference or not. Thanks!
