I want a face/neck lift and revision rhinoplasty. Which procedure should be done first for optimal healing and cosmetic results? Will a facelift widen my nose? Thank you.
Answer: Facelift and rhinoplsty Thank you for your question. These procedures can be done at the same time, which can be beneficial as there will then only be one anesthesia and one recovery. A well-done facelift will not widen your nose. Best of luck!

Answer: Combined facelift and revision rhinoplasty Either procedure can be done first; it depends on which aspect of your face bothers you more. A facelift usually takes about 3 months to see optimal results but subtle refinements can be seen after that. It will not widen your nose. Rhinoplasty takes at least a year— longer in revision cases, to see the final result. It is certainly safe to perform a rhinoplasty and facelift together but if your revision is extensive your surgeon may want to stage the procedures.

Answer: Combined procedures: things you should know Hello, and thank you for your question. Combining surgeries like a facelift and rhinoplasty are already routinely performed. In fact, it is ideal to combine procedures when you have more than one aesthetic goal. It would also mean less anesthesia, one recovery period, lower cost, and more dramatic results.

Answer: Facelift and Rhinoplasty Hi and thanks for the question! In short, it does not matter which is done first. Neither surgery changes the shape of the other part of the face. I have done many facelift/ rhinoplasty combinations at the same time for patients so they just have one recovery period. If you can only have one done I would pick the surgery that you care about most to be done first so you have more time to enjoy it. I hope this helps and best of luck with your journey!

Answer: Facelift or rhinoplasty first? Hello @myscreenname thank you for your question. It all depends on the specialist surgical technique, from there is defined if the procedure should be done separately or perform the Rhinoplasty first to avoid generating subsequent inflammation in the tissues to be repositioned. The best course of action is to consult one or several board certified plastic surgeon for more information and options tailored specifically to your needs. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD FACS

Answer: Combined Facelift and revision rhinoplastsy I absolutely love performing rhinoplasty (and revision rhinoplasty) at the same time as my facelifts. Sometimes, the nose is overlooked in its role regarding the aging process, and improving the nasolabial angle and nasal profile can truly be transformative and youthening! The benefit of performing both surgeries concurrently is that you save time and money, and the recovery periods overlap. In my practice, I generally removed the sponges after 2-3 days, which is the same timeframe for when the headdressing from the facelift is removed. Then on day 8, the splint is removed, which coincides with a post-operative visit for the facelift surgery.
