Is it possible to get a rhinoplasty, brow lift and breast lift in one surgery? Ideally I would like to get all 3 procedures done at the same time to minimise recovery time.
Answer: Face and Body Surgery In my practice I specialize exclusively in cosmetic surgery of the face. I have a colleague who is a plastic surgeon who specializes in body cosmetic surgery. When a patient has face and body procedures, we operate together, generally at the same time. In less than two hours you could have all of your procedures.

Answer: Can rhinoplasty, brow lift and breast lift be performed in one surgery? Hello and thank you for your question regarding combining surgeries. Combining surgeries offers many advantages, the most important of which is reduced risk for the patient. Fewer surgeries and fewer anesthesia applications mean less risk of infection or complications. However, there are risks associated with surgeries that are too long. Those risks include complications from anesthesia and hypothermia, among others. In order to avoid those risks, you should limit your surgery to less than 6 hours, if possible. Schedule a consultation with a board certified facial plastic surgeon in your area to discuss their opinion about which two of the three procedures to have together. Good luck!- Elbert T. Cheng, MD

Answer: Multiple procedures Yes it is possible to do a Rhinoplasty, brow lift and breast lift in one surgery. However, you have to be in good health and you have to understand how the three operations may affect your post-op recovery and care.

Answer: Combo Surgery I would not recommend having all 3 surgeries performed at the same time. Split 2 and 1. One even in good health needs to limited the amount of time that they are under general anesthesia. As I always suggest have a consultation with a Broad Certified Plastic Surgeon.

Answer: Multiple procedures Safety should always be priority. Although having multiple procedures performed at a single operative setting is very common in our practice, i dont recommend you having the three mentioned procedures at the same time. Of the three, having areas and nose surgery is acceptable.
