Is it possible to get a rhinoplasty & bbl around same time?

Question

I will be traveling very far for rhinoplasty and bbl,I live in Africa & want my surgery done either in the states or mexico. Problem is for each procedure I am considering different doctors. I will be taking 1 month leave. Can I have a rhinoplasty by a surgeon and bbl a week later by another? Please its important, thank you.

I can't give you specific advice but I have had these types of questions before.  Can I combine surgerie X, Y, or Z in a similar time frame with a rhinoplasty.  For the most part my answer is the same.  Yes, but do the rhinoplasty last.  Here is the reason.  To put at patient under general anesthesia the doctors have to squeeze a mask tight against the face (and thus nose) for several minutes at the beginning of the case.  I don't want this done to patient who has a rhinoplasty for at least 6 wks and preferably 12 weks.  Thus make the rhinoplasty last so you don't have to have a mask squeezed up against your freshly operated nose for quite some time.

Thank you for the question.This will have to be cleared by your PS and anesthesiologist after lab results come in. Normally, rhinoplasty takes between 3-4 hours to do and the BBL depends on the size of the patient but no less than 3 hours.Dr. Campos

With only one month travel time, you will probably want to get both procedures done at the same time. I would recommend using the same surgeon for both procedures and avoid the complexity of two anesthetic procedures at two different locations with travel in between.
