Can a beard transplant be performed 1 week after a jaw and chin implant?

Question

I'm planning to go overseas for a chin and jaw implant. After that surgery, I would be very swollen. I'm sure most doctors would say you should wait for one operation's recovery before attempting a second operation. However, flights are expensive, and I would really only want to pay once, so I want to try to fit them both in on the same trip. I would be in the area for 2 weeks. I could get one operation during week one and the other in week 2.

Hello I'm Dr. Wipawan Vathananai, a co-worker of Dr. Kulakarn Amonpattana, from BHI Clinic, Bangkok, Thailand. I would recommend you to wait until all of the swelling subsides otherwise it is difficult for the surgeon to design the beard for you. Also, the healing might not be good if it's too early for the second surgery. I understand that the flight is expensive but it is better to get it done safely.

In a perfect world it would be better to get the jaw/chin implant first then do the beard transplant about 6 months later. However I understand time and money are an issue. That being said I would suggest you do the beard and  wait at least 3 weeks before you do the jaw/chin surgery. Best wishes to you.

It is better to do a beard transplant first and 2-3 weeks later perform the jaw procedure. Because during the surgery the patient needs to lay on his face. Ideal world do jaw surgery and 4-6 months later beard or beard and 2-3 weeks later jaw surgery.
