Can I get FUE hair transplant and rhinoplasty during the same week? And if yes, which procedure should I have performed first?

Question

I will be going to Turkey for a rhinoplasty. I also intend to get my hairline transplanted in Turkey, and if there would be no adverse effects I would like to have them done during the same trip. I want to make sure that it would not only be safe but that any swelling/healing would not be affected by having one procedure performed before the other.

Hi there, thank you for your question. Yes, hair tranplant and rhinoplasty can be done during the same week and hair transplant should be done first due to the staying position during the hair transplant.

I would ask the doctors involved what their preference is. A lot also depends on how long you are planning to stay there. I would think you could have the hair done 3 to 5 days after the nose.

We routinely (including today) do those two procedures in the same week. There are good rhinoplasty doctors in Turkey, but, make sure you can get followup and will be going there frequently for it to be worthwhile.
