First of all, I greatly appreciate the service that you provide by answering people's questions here! Now for my question. I have been wanting to do an upper bleph for over a year now. I also recently found out that I would benefit greatly from an endoscopic sinus surgery (for medical reasons). Would it be possible to do both at the same time -- one by a cosmetic surgeon and the other by a sinus specialist? Thank you so much for your response!
Answer: Is it possible to have upper blepharoplasty and sinus surgery at the same time? Yes. I would recommend starting the combined procedure by performing the blepharoplasty first as this is a "clean" procedure followed by the sinus surgery. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Eyelid and sinus surgery These two procedures appear to be surgeries that could be done at one surgery. The trickyest part may be costs, because the facility where the sinus procedure is done may or may not give you a reasonable cosmetic price for the time for your eyelid surgery. Facilities that do almost no cosmetic surgery tend to charge a lot for noninsurance procedures. Facilities that do a lot do cosmetic procedures will probably be very reasonable. Check into all this before your procedure. Good luck.

Answer: Eyelid surgery and sinus surgery combination Yes, cosmetic eyelid surgery and functional endoscopic sinus surgery can be performed at the same time. The eyelid surgery is considered cosmetic and is billed directly to the patient, while endoscopic sinus surgery is medically necessary surgery and is billed to the patient's medical insurance. Both procedures can be performed simultaneously under one anesthetic. A double Board certified ENT/ facial plastic surgeon can perform both procedures at the same time.

Answer: While it can easily be done at the same time, it may or may not be appropriate to have this done at the same time. Very good sinus surgeons really focus on just sinus surgery. So you are correct in thinking that the eyelid surgery would be best performed by a second surgeon. You sinus surgeon's operative schedule may not permit the second surgery. The busiest sinus surgeons often run very tight operative schedules. Letting a second surgeon come in and use an hour of time to perform a cosmetic eyelid surgery may or may not work for their schedule. There are other reasons not so have both surgeries at the same time. So discuss this option with your sinus surgeon.

Answer: Upper Blepharoplasty and Endoscopic Sinus Surger...together at last. As a surgeon who works as an Otolaryngologist - Head and Neck surgery as well as completing a American Board Certified fellowship in Facial Plastics and Reconstructive surgery, i would have no problem with this. Here in Ottawa, CanadaI do many Endoscopic sinus surgeries and if need be, i've done cosmetic surgery at the same time. The only extra risk would be the extra length of surgery however if you are healthy and have a good surgical team, the risk is very low. If you can find a American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery trained Head and Neck surgeon who does FESS (endoscopic sinus surgery) its likely easier to do the two at the same time. good luck,Dr JP Bonaparte
