I am having a revision rhinoplasty and would like to have a facelift at the same time. However, the procedures would be performed by different surgeons (specialised in each procedure). My concern is if both procedures are complex if doing them together is the best approach. I would like to avoid two separate recovery periods, but want to have the best outcome. Alternatively, how soon after the rhinoplasty would it be reasonable to have the facial surgery? Thank you
Answer: Combine Procedures Hello, hope you are well. In general, it is my recommendation to combine procedures whenever possible to consolidate downtime and avoid the separate recovery periods. Generally speaking, it is safe to combine facelift and revision rhinoplasty surgery. There may be logistical reasons to prevent that from happening when two surgeons are involved, but this is something I do routinely in my practice without hesitation. Good luck!

Answer: Hello Facelift surgery together with rhinoplasty is not actually dangerous, but I do not prefer it, I think it will be a difficult process for the patient. If you want to do it combined , first the face and then the nose, if you want to do it on separate days, the face can be done 1 month after the nose job

Answer: Facelift with Revision Rhinoplasty Thank you for your query. Combining the two procedures will depend on the extent of revision rhinoplasty and Face lift procedures. If either of it is extensive and will take a long time, it is best to do them separately. I usually wait for a few weeks (ideally six) before I do the second procedure, although the second procedure can be done sooner. Please talk to both your surgeons , discuss your concerns and make a .decision. All the best!.

Answer: Facelift and revison rhinoplasty together ? This is a very good question since it depends on what is required. Potentially it is possible but revision rhinoplasty is a very variable procedure. It can be short in which case this should be feasible with the facelift. However, if the revision rhinoplasty is complex and requires grafts such as rib cartilage grafts this in itself can be a three to four hour procedure in some cases. You would then be best staging the prcedures at least three months apart as a minimum.

Answer: Facelift and Rhinoplasty? Hello and thank you for your question. This is a very common question that I get from my patients. How much surgery is too much in one day? In my practice, it is very common for me to perform multiple procedures in the same day including a deep plane facelift and rhinoplasty. The main benefit, as you stated, is having only one recovery period. In your situation with two different surgeons it becomes tricky. It is generally best to avoid prolonged periods of anesthesia. Many surgeons have widely varying operative times for each procedure so it would be important to ask each of them how long their portion of the surgery would take. Typically, surgeons that specialize in these procedures and have more experience will be able to perform both surgeries in a reasonable amount of time. However, there are always exceptions to this. Another potential benefit is the overall cost of surgery can sometimes be less if doing both procedures at the same time rather than staging them. I would encourage you to schedule multiple in person or virtual consultations with surgeons who specialize in facial rejuvenation and rhinoplasty procedures. You should feel 100% confident when picking a surgeon to meet your aesthetic goals. Good luck!
