BBL or rhinoplasty first? I'm leaning more towards BBL first.

Facial procedures are a bit conflictive with BBL surgery, since they require a supine (head up) position afterwards, whereas for optimal BBL results you should ideally try to sleep face down and not sit for about 2 weeks after surgery.I would do BBL first, for the following reason: if you want to add a bit more volume on the hips, where volume maintainence is usually hardest, you could still add more selected volume to the hips when you do the rhinoplasty. Since this secondary addition is on the sides, the supine position is not as damaging.So from a tactical point of view, that would be the best way to proceed.

   I would ask the two doctors you have selected, because their answers will be the most germane.Kenneth Hughes, MD

If you plan to space out the procedures 6 months or more apart, the order isn't too important; just pick the one you'd rather get done first. If you plan to have the procedures done closer together, probably better to do the BBL first so you are not laying on your nose postoperatively.Hope this helps - Sam Jejurikar, MD

Dear LoveLuna,you are right, most plastic surgeons would recommend you to split this into two procedures and most would do BBL first and rhinoplasty once you are fully healed. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

It doesn't really matter which is first. you have to decide which one you want to get done first. Best of luck.

I would definitely say BBL first if you are splitting the two procedures up since it is common to go prone (face down) during the BBL surgery. Have you considered combining the two surgeries? Depending on what you are getting done, it may be an option to do these procedures at the same time.

I don't combine many procedures with rhinoplasty.  To easy to have and issue with the very delicate work done on the nose.  Wait to do the nose.
