Otoplasty & Rhinoplasty Done Together. Pros and Cons?

It makes a lot of sense to have both surgeries done at the same time as the recovery is simultaneous and not sequential. That is only one recovery time for both. The overall fees will also be less as there is one recovery and anesthesia cost less than 2 events.

The risks should be approximately the same whether doing the procedure at the same time or separately.

In short, the answer is yes.  If you know you want to have both procedures done, it is better to have one recovery than two.  There is no contraindication to have an otoplasty and rhinoplasty performed at the same time.  The trick is to find a qualified surgeon who can do both at a high level.

Otoplasty and rhinoplasty is an acceptable combination to perform at the same time.  We have performed that combination many times in our practice and patients do just fine.  By combining the two procedures, there is only one anesthesia and one recovery time.  After the otoplasty procedure patients do express difficulty sleeping because both ears are throbbing.  With the rhinoplasty procedure patients are somewhat congested in the nose and uncomfortable from that.
