I have a low bridge that I want to be higher and a bulbous nose that I want to me nicer shaped. I also want to be know if it will be ok to have a sinus surgery and rhinoplasty at the same time. Attached are the pictures. Any advice with materials and types of surgery would be very helpful. Thanks in advanced.

Answer: Sinus surgery and rhinoplasty Combining the two surgeries is common, effective , and efficient if performed by a surgeon skilled in both fields. I always perform the septoplasty and then sinus surgery first. If the sinuses are very time consuming and especially if they are very acutely infected with free flowing pus everywhere probably not a good idea to add a foreign body implant to the nose at the same time. However performing a rhinoplasty without a foreign body augmentation (your cartilage is ok) and surgery for chronic sinusitis is very effective and common. I have been doing this for over 25 years and wrote one of the first book chapters on how to do this. You should have someone who is board certified in both facial plastic surgery and otolaryngology to do this. Most general plastic surgeons don't have formal training and or hospital privileges in performing endoscopic sinus surgery.
