It could the option if your surgeon is not good at both procedures
I see you are getting ready for two facial procedures: rhinoplasty and blepharoplasty.

Rhinoplasty and blepharoplasty can be done concurrently by one surgeon
There really is no reason to have two different surgeons perform the blepharoplasty and rhinoplasty. These are common procedures performed by board certified plastic surgeons.

Lid rejuvenation, rhinoplasty, one surgeon can handle both
Rhinoplasty and lid rejuvenation are common cosmetic procedures performed by plastic surgeons. Unless you have an opthalmologist you really trust, an experienced plastic surgeon should be able to conveniently combine both procedures.

Should I Have Two Separate Doctors and Operations for Rhinoplasty and Bleph?
Seems silly to do so but you certainly can have separate plastic and cosmetic surgeongs doing your eyelid surgery and Rhinoplasty. If your surgeon understands and follows the proper aesthetics of facial beauty and has experience performing both surgeries go with one surgeopn and one general anesthesia which seems more reasonable to me.

If you speak with a surgeon that specializes in facial plastic surgery there is no need to go to two spate doctors. Speak with your surgeon about your desired look and long term goals and see what they recommend.
Good luck on your search!

Rhinoplasty and blepharoplasty are done most commonly by one surgeon. There is no need to go to two different surgeons IF you see an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who does blepharoplasty as well.
