Waiting time between a rhinoplasty and breast augmentation?

Thanks for your question! There is no reason to do the procedures separately. If you were using a surgeon that only did one procedure or the other, it is relatively easy to schedule a combination surgery with two surgeons. There are many plastic surgeons, like myself, who would be comfortable doing both surgeries at the same time. Best of luck!

My practice is comprised of a full body plastic surgeon and a facial plastic surgeon (me).  We both focus our skills on different areas of the body.  As such, we can operate on patients at the same time.  This is a tremendous advantage to patients -- one anesthetic (safer), one OR and anesthesia fee (saves money), one recovery period (saves time away from work), and two surgeons (less risk of surgeon fatigue and more specialized care).  You should also feel comfortable with both surgeons -- this is often determined by your first meeting in person.  I wish you well!Parker A.

As a general principle it is possible and safe for a patient to have these 2 procedures performed at the same time.  There are of course many caveats that have to be addressed about the patient, the surgeons, the anesthesiiologist and the facilty.  We perform these procedures commonly in our facility.I would suggest that you seek at consultation by credible professionals to explore your options.  I trust you will be suuceessful.Fred Fedok, MD FACS

Both procedures can be done at the same time. You can also choose to do them at separate times. If you choose to do them separately, I recommend doing the second one once you have finished the healing process for the first one. Hope this helps.

Both procedures can be performed under one anesthesia. Combining
cosmetic plastic surgery procedures is not uncommon. Whether you are a
reasonable candidate for those procedures depends on your anatomy, your medical
history, realistic expectations of the outcome and an understanding of the pros
and cons of the various procedures.

Safety should always be the main concern. It is generally recommended that the
length of elective surgery be less than six hours. The procedures should be
performed in an ambulatory facility that is accredited by one of the
national organizations like the American Association for Accreditation of
Ambulatory Surgical Facilities (AAAASF) or in a licensed hospital. Many
surgeons would recommend an overnight stay at an appropriate facility where you
can be appropriately monitored. Most patients prefer undergoing one anesthesia
and one recovery period which is usually more cost effective.Keep in mind that following
the advice of any surgeon on this or any other web site who proposes to tell
you what to do without: examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing
your desired outcome, and taking a full medical history, as well as discussing
the pros and cons of each operative option would not be in your best interest.
I would suggest you find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by The
American Board of
Plastic Surgery who is ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic
Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with, and discuss
your concerns with that surgeon in person. That way, you can have a better idea
what is safe and makes the most sense for you.

A breast augmentation and rhinoplasty can be both performed together at the same time under one anesthetic, or they can be performed separately, probably about a month apart. Rhinoplasty  one of the hardest operations to perform in the entire field of cosmetic surgery, so choose your surgeon wisely

I offer my patients both procedures at the same time. Rhinoplasty and breast augmentation are very common procedures and is usually safe to perform during the same anesthesia. Hope this helps!

Both procedures can be performed at one time.  There is no need to wait between procedures!  It is better to have one surgery; one anesthesia and one recovery!  

There is no need to wait between these procedures. Frequently, they are done at the same time while under. Please see a board certified Plastic Surgeon for your evaluation and treatment.

There is no need to wait between procedures. For example in our surgery center there is a plastic surgeon that specializes in body work who would do the breast augmentation during the same operation that I did your rhinoplasty. It is better for you to have one anesthetic, one operation, and one recovery.
