How long after one cosmetic surgery may I have another?

missalyssJul 21, 2015
Hello, I am planning a rhinoplasty surgery soon, and wish to have hair line lowering surgery after as well. Is it possible to have both surgeries done at the same time? If not, how long after one surgery must I wait before I may have the other?
