How Long to Wait Between Surgeries? Which First?

Delay Between Facial and GYN Surgery

Not knowing what will be done during the GYN surgery you should ask your surgeons this question. However, I would suggest that the facial surgery be done last, so the face is not injured while administering anesthesia for your GYN procedure.
