I am planning on doing rhinoplasty, full face fat grafting and upper lid blepharoplasty at the same time. Can it be safely performed together or should I skip the blepharoplasty? I hope it's not too much stress for my body. How many hours would all these procedures take in your experience ? Is 3 weeks enough time to look normal after combined procedures like these ?
Answer: Rhinoplasty Rhinoplasty and upper lid blepharoplasty are a common combination and easily done together. You could also have fat grafting but I think facial fat grafting is such a waste of time and money. At best the fat will absorb over time. At worst you’ll have lumps all over your face. Not a fan

Answer: Rhinoplasty combined with blepharoplasty and fat grafting The answers to your questions depend on the specifics of you and your surgeon. Not knowing these details, I can share my own experience as a board certified plastic surgeon in an effort to help you: I routinely perform these procedures in conjunction with each other, and the length of time depends on what precisely needs to be accomplished. Remember, surgery is not a horserace, and being meticulous and not rushing is paramount to safety and a good result. I do not consider an operation to be over until I am completely satisfied. If you are in good health, the recovery is not too physically stressful, and three weeks is enough time to recover. Many patients also enjoy the financial benefits of doing several surgeries at once, since only one operating-room and anesthesia fee apply.

Answer: Great Question Thanks for your question. All of these procedures can be performed at the same time. The rhinoplasty probably being the most time intensive in terms of surgical time and recovery. Your personal recovery experience will largely depend on your age and health status. In my hands these procedures combined would take anywhere between 4-6 hours depending on what exactly needs to be done. In general three weeks should be enough time to look relatively normal for social appearances. You may need to use some concealer/make up in certain areas. Yes there will still be swelling that you and your surgeon will notice, but to anyone else, they should not notice anything obvious..

Answer: Rhinoplasty down time We commonly do those together and the downtime is very minimal. You just want to make sure your doctor has significant experience with those procedures. In our office we perform those procedures almost every day. Most patients would be recovered enough to go back to work from the eyes and fat transfer within days. Currently something like that would run about 11,000$ at our facility. Best wishes.
