Asian Eyelid & Rhino- Two Separate Surgeries or One?

I want revision on my nose and (asian) eyelids. Since they are revisions, I know I need to go to someone who is extremely skilled, but should I look for someone who is expert at both? Or is it okay to look for two separate doctors and get two separate procedures? If I were to get two separate surgeries what would the wait time be before I get my next surgery? I wanted to get it redone next summer... is that possible? or would I have to wait longer?

Asian eyelid surgery revision and nose revision surgery with one or two surgeons

The complexity of your eye and nose problem will determine whether it is better to get surgery separately by separate surgeons or at the same time by one surgeon. If the problem is relatively straightforward (as evidenced by the lack of severe concern on your original question), it may be possible for one well-qualified surgeon to perform both procedures at once.

Either way. It's probably easier on you to have just one operation to do both with one recovery...but at the end of the day, it's your decision.

Both eyelid and nasal surgeries can be performed together or separately. It is really up to the patient. On revision rhinoplasty and eyelid surgery it is extremely important to make sure that you go to a very experienced surgeon and that may require 2 different doctors.

Revision Asian Blepharoplasty and Rhinoplasty

Dear 8044anon, I am sorry to hear about your concerns. In general, you should wait at least six to twelve months from the time of your original procedure(s) before considering a revision, depending on the type of procedure and the concerns you have, so that the wounds are mature. This means that next summer is a suitable timeframe. If you seek revision of both your eyes and your nose, I would recommend finding a surgeon who is highly skilled and experienced performing both... more

Revision for eyelid and rhinoplasty surgery

Revsions should not be performed before all scarring has had a chance to mature, typically 6-9 months. If the revision work is for straightforward issues such as a bump on the nasal dorsum that needs a little more rasping or a small pinch of eyelid skin that has to be removed the procedures are not too taxing for almost any board certified plastic surgeon. If the problems are more complex you need a specialist with lots of experience with revision work. Both procedures should... more

Asian Eyelid and Rhinoplasty Revision

If you find an experienced surgeon who will do both procedures, have them done at the same time. If the procedures are done by different surgeons, I suggest doing the eyelids first and then waiting a minimum of 6-8 weeks to do the rhinoplasty revision.

Asian Blepharoplasty and Rhinoplasty

You need to find a surgeon who is an expert in both Asian Blepharoplasty and Rhinoplasty, especially because they are revision surgeries. When done separately, the eyes can be done under local anesthesia and the nose under general. Typically, patients opt to get both done at the same time so that both procedures can be done while they are under general anesthesia and to avoid two separate recovery down times. I would recommend that you look to find the right doctor for... more

Surgery on eyelids and nose can be done at same time

You can have surgery on your eyelids and nose at the same time or you can have them done separately. It depends on whether you find a plastic surgeon that you are comfortable doing both or not. Next summer should be a good time to do both.
