I want to have a BBL done as well as a rhino. My question is if both can be done during the same operation?

You could do both. Likely the BBL would be completed first and only then attention turned to your nose. Yes, the recovery would be more awkward so ask yourself "is it worth it" doing them together?I would recommend to separate them if that is at all a feasible option for you.

Thank you for your question. It is very possible to do both procedures at the same time. I do agree that the recovery might be a little awkward, but it can certainly be  done. Just choose a Plastic Surgeon who feels confident doing so. Best of luck!Dhaval M. Patel Double Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Hoffman Estates Barrington Oakbrook Chicago 

This is a logistics and anesthesia/facility cost issue. Rhinoplasty may certainly be done with other procedures including laser skin resurfacing (we did this twice in the last month) so there is no reason that BBL could not be done with a rhinoplasty.  BBL should not take any longer than 20 to 30 minutes depending on the number of passes needed.  The nose skin, however, would not be treated at the time of rhinoplasty and would require treatment at a separate time.  Logistically the surgery center would need to be able to accommodate the Sciton device (specific power requirement) including protective eyewear for anyone in the room.  I would do the BBL first and then do the rhinoplasty.  You will likely pay more for the anesthesia/facility fee by adding this on whereas if done in the office you would not have this additional cost...  I would suggest waiting at least 6 weeks after surgery before having BBL done on the nose.  Alternatively you could have the BBL done a few weeks before surgery.
