I am 58 - I would like a facelift to remove jowls and improve neck - and would also like my nose thinned, narrowed as I notice everyone's nose seems to "take over " their faces as they age. (Keeps growing?) My question - WHEN should the nose work be done? My thought is AFTER - as it will provide the nose surgeon with the "current" face to work with. If so - how long after the face lift?

Answer: Combining a facelift and rhinoplasty
Combining a facelift and rhinoplasty is feasible and something I have performed in the past multiple times. However, it is possible to separate these procedures and it truly does not matter which one comes first. I would recommend you address the aspect of your face that bothers you most (nose or jowls/neck) first. Either way, these are both procedures that will provide you with great satisfaction and enjoyment. I have attached a video of a patient whom I performed both a facelift and rhinoplasty at the same time.

Answer: Facelift and rhinoplasty together.
I do these surgeries together since the nose adds only an hour and the patient has only one recovery. I also do multiple procedures at a reduced cost.

Answer: As long as your surgeon is skilled at both rhinoplasty and facelift, it is possible to have these surgeries at the same time
Thank you for your question.
As long as your surgeon is skilled at both rhinoplasty and facelift, it is possible to have these surgeries at the same time. If you separate them, it doesn't matter which you do first or second.
To be sure, see two or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area for a full and complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have surgery. I hope this helps.
