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. Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd.com

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.
