Blood pressure after Septoplasty/Rhinoplasty - how long to wait between procedures?

Question

I need to do some functional septoplasty to which I expect to add some cosmetic rhino (hump reduction, raising tip). I also want to do a hair transplant (FUE) around the same time. The FUE procedure would involve lying face down for hours, which would drastically increase blood pressure on nose. How long should I wait in between procedures? Is 4 weeks enough time after the rhino to do the FUE? Is the risk just some discomfort or disfigurement?

Thank you for your question. I recommend you ask your surgeon performing the rhinoplasty procedure what their preference is. There are lots of factors that go into determining the answer to that question (approach to the rhinoplasty, grafting used, etc). Best of luck!

I would do the hair first. You are not going to like lying face down after rhinoplasty. But you really need to ask your surgeons
