Plastic Surgery: Q&A
Ask a QuestionHow to Order Multiple Plastic Surgeries?
I'm considering a revision rhinoplasty, a mid-face lifting, a face liposuction and a laser or chemical peel. What is the correct order to perform? I know that rinoplasty can be done among with mid-face lifting but the nose-expert doctor for revision may not perform liftings.
When considering multiple procedures (that may not all be done at the same time), is there a rule of thumb for scheduling them in the proper order?
