Often it helps to have a cohesive, harmonizing game plan from one surgeon rather than two separate surgeons unless there is a reason why a precedure might be outside the expertise of the other surgeon. If you insist on doing the surgeries in two different stages with two different surgeons, and since the two areas are anatomically separate (although you might ask each if they are not encroaching on the region the others is operating on), it depends on what procedure holds the great benefit to you. Usually you do the procedure that gives you the greatest bang for your buck or the procedure that holds the greatest importance to you. That way, if something happens to prevent you from doing the second, you get your first priority surgery done first.
