I have selected two physicians, one for breast augmentation and one for rhinoplasty. My question is which procedure should be done first or does it matter? I would prefer breast first because I can easily cover them up. Do O have to wait a minimum amount of time for the second procedure?

Answer: Order of procedures doesn’t matter. You should be able to get these procedures in any order you like. If you prefer to start with breast augmentation, that should be fine. Talk to your breast augmentation surgeon about how long you will need to wait before undergoing the rhinoplasty procedure. Ideally, you should be fully healed from your first procedure before moving forward with the second procedure.

Answer: Should I have a breast augmentation or rhinoplasty first? Thanks for your question. You can get these procedures done together or in separate surgeries. Which one you get first is up to you as it does not matter if you get one first or after. The recommended time between procedures is from 3 to 6 months. That said, Having combination of procedures is always cheaper than getting them separately as there are shared costs and only one recovery period.You definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety. A key quality indicator is Board Certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

Answer: Should I have a breast augmentation or rhinoplasty first? Three months may be a reasonable wait time between the surgeries. You should probably ask for the input or the advice of the involved surgeons regarding order based upon the extent of the planned surgeries. I typically perform both procedures during the same surgery.Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
