Is it possible to get a combination procedure of nose and breast implants?

Question

How common is this combo and what are the pros and cons?

Caner Kacmaz, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. Rhinoplasty and breast reduction/augmentation surgeries are often performed together. This is not an issue at all and is preferred by many patients. Thank you.

Lucian Ion, FRCS · Answer

Thank you for your question. There is no firm contraindication to combining breast implant surgery and rhinoplasty.

When you have rhinoplasty surgery, even with antibiotic treatment there is an increased amount of bacteria circulating in the bloodstream for a period of time. In principle, they can also aggregate around the breast implant.

Because the risk of capsular contracture and ALCL is associated to some degree also with bacteria on the surface of the implant, there is at least a theoretical risk of increased complications.

It is not a scientifically proven risk but rather a point to discuss with your surgeon. The advantages of combining the procedures are based on recovery time, reduced down time, costs.

Your surgeon may have experience combining these interventions and could be able to provide more inside.

Thomas Trevisani, MD · Answer

Yes, provided a patient is a candidate. In our Practice we often combine these procedures. It is more convenient to do it at the same time if you can afford it.

Jeffrey Lisiecki, MD · Answer

Yes, it is a fairly common combination to do a rhinoplasty and breast augmentation together. The pros are that it is one trip to the OR, one time under general anesthesia, and one time recovering from surgery (if you need to take a few days off of work). The cons are that longer time under anesthesia is inherently a little riskier (though still very safe if you are a healthy individual otherwise), and a few other specific or theoretical risks to discuss with your plastic surgeon at your consultation.

Zoran Potparic, MD · Answer

Yes, those two procedures are very commonly done together in our practice. However, you have to be sure that surgeon performing these two procedures have significant experience, in particular with rhinoplasty. Good luck.
