Would it be okay to get septoplasty before rhinoplasty especially in my case?

Hello and thanks for your question,Ideally, it would be best to do both procedures at the same time.In our office we do septorhinoplasty very commonly together. This allows using the deviated portion of the septum as a graft to improve both function and aesthetics of the nose.Also this allows you to have one surgery, one Anesthesia, and one recovery.Please consider going in for a personalized and individualized consultation to discuss all options.Kind regards,Dr Sajjadian

Thank you for the question. These operations are intimately related and should be done together in every possible case. There are interactions between the septum and nasal contour, plus graft material from the septum is an essential part of most rhinoplasty operations. Best of luck moving forward!

 It's not a good idea to have a septoplasty first and then undergo a rhinoplasty for multiple reasons. Both procedures can be performed by an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon, so that there is one anesthesia with one recovery period. Additionally, the cartilage from a septoplasty may be required if cartilage grafting techniques are needed for the rhinoplasty. If the cartilage from the nose has been removed with a septoplasty from the first surgeon, ear cartilage or rib cartilage may be required to be harvested for grafting purposes.  Rhinoplasty is already a difficult procedure, don't make any harder by  having a septoplasty performed by another surgeon.
