Is it safe to have liposuction 3 days before a revision rhinoplasty?

Question

I am having revision rhinoplasty over a year after my primary with my original doctor to correct a small bump on the tip. Its clearly felt but hard to see. I want to get 360 lipo at the same time but no doctor who offers it will operate at the same hospital my revision will happen. Is it safe to have liposuction 3 days before?

Hello @Graceful313217, thank you for your question. My advice is to speak to you surgeon and follow his or her recommendations regarding how long you have to wait to have another surgery. This is because surgical technique varies between surgeons as well as anesthesia is different depending on the patient and his or her medical history. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Hi there! I don't know exactly any contraindication within 3 days of a rhinoplasty when using 360 Liposuction. If possible, I would advocate for spreading your procedures out more than 3 days. If possible, maybe 2-4 weeks apart to ensure healing has occurred entirely. That way, if a complication occurs, it can be control and isolated before the next procedure. Hope this helps.
