I am getting my nose job in two weeks and wanted to have my chin augmentation at the same time, is that possible/common? Does this make it more difficult for the doctor? Would the recovery interfere with each other?

Answer: Is it possible to get a Chin Augmentation and nose job at the same time? Nasal cosmetic surgery and a chin implant are frequently performed together in the appropriate patient. The ideal aesthetic result should be individualized to achieve harmony with your other facial features and improve the areas that concern you. Keep in mind that following advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you what to do without seeing photos and without examining you, physically feeling your tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history and discussing the pros and cons of the operative procedure would not be in your best interest. Natural appearing results need to be individualized and what is appropriate for one patient is not necessarily the best for someone else. I would suggest that your plastic surgeon have extensive rhinoplasty experience, be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and one who is ideally a member of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or a facial plastic surgeon (otolaryngologist) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. The extent and length of the procedure, cost, and the specific operative steps to achieve an ideal cosmetic result vary from patient to patient and would depend on the findings at your consultation examination.

Answer: Yep, fine to do it This is a common combo surgery to create facial profile harmony. It adds about 15 minutes more to the operation. Good Luck!
