I’m getting sleeve surgery done this week, later on I want to get my nose job and buccal fat - how long would I have to wait ?
Answer: Waiting between two surgeries Gastric sleeve surgery can have a long recovery. You need to wait till your Bariatric surgeon clears you. It is less to do with the anesthesia itself and more to do with how fast you recover from gastric sleeve. RegardsDr. J

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello Rebecca,Thank you for your question. I would wait 6 weeks and then obtain medical clearance prior to surgery. In terms of the buccal fat excision, you will definitely lose weight in your face as a result of your gastric sleeve, and fat excision before losing all your weight may cause a hollowing in your face that you didn't expect. In terms of your rhinoplasty consultation, be sure your surgeon addresses all your aesthetic goals and concerns specifically, and discusses the surgery details including the position and size of the incisions used (with actual photographs and not just digital animations), the risks and benefits of the procedure, recovery time, and post-operative course. Also, be sure to see plenty of before-and-after pictures in women who have a similar nose appearance to yours, and preferably at different time frames (3 weeks out, 3 months out, etc) to more accurately predict your own surgical outcome. After seeking out a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in aesthetic plastic surgery, I think the most important component of the consultation is to establish a good connection with your plastic surgeon. It’s the connection that allows you to clearly define your desired nose outcome goals, the first step of this whole process. If you don’t feel you have a good connection with your plastic surgeon after your consultation, he/she may not be the best surgeon for you.

Answer: Nasal surgery Hello and thank you for your question. I recommend waiting at least two months in between your sleeve procedure and having rhinoplasty with buccal fat excision. You should also obtain clearance from your bariatric surgeon. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. FACS Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Time between procedure From an anesthesia perspective, at least 6-8 weeks. But, let me make another point. The contours of your face will change after gastric sleeve surgery and your perspective in terms of expectations may alter as well so there may be good reasons to delay even longer.
