Can I combine a FUE hair transplant with a chin implant on the same day or weekend?

Question

I am a 31-year-old male in good health, looking to have a FUE hair transplant, along with a chin augmentation (implant). Ideally I would like to have these procedures done on the same day (or within a close timeframe) to reduce the amount of time off work. Can you advise if this is possible, and if so, which procedure is typically done first?

You can have both procedure on the same day but that would involve the coordination between your doctors.

FUE can be combined with chin implant and many other plastic surgery procedures.  This all depends on if the surgeon can perform both the hair transplant and the other procedure in the same facility or if he performs hair transplants and plastic surgery procedures in 2 different facilities.

Hello from Toronto!  From a medical standpoint, absolutely this is something that can be done, to combine an FUE hair transplant procedure with a chin implant on the same day in order to have just one recovery period.  Logistically, this is something that we can certainly achieve--it's just a matter of sitting down to figure out the dates and scheduling that work for everyone involved.  Feel free to contact my office to book a consultation, and we can take it from there.

Hello, First should be done hair transplantation and after chin augmentation, because while the hair extraction you will need to lie face down, so to reduce the pain of your chin you need to do this operation after hair transplantation. It is better to have at least one day interval before another operation for painless recovery and do not influence to each other. But both procedures is not hard and if you don't have any health issues but have limited time you can have them both in the same day, but in the order I recommended you before

It is possible to combine the FUE Hair transplant with a chin implant the same day. No side effects.

yes, it is not a problem for doctor or our team, it's up to your need. Since combined the FUE hair transplant procedure with the chin implant surgery on the same day won't effect each other's recovery or effect but will save your time. You can come for a consultation with an experiened Doctor to settle down your time scheme.

Hello and thank you fo your question. Absolutely you can combine both procedures at the same time. The key here is to find a great surgeon that can do both procedures and do them well. I wish you the best.

Yes, both surgeries can be performed the same day. Many times in Plastic Surgery we combine hair transplant surgery with another procedure in the face without any problem. I usually perform the donor harvesting with FUExcision technique first then the plastic surgery in the face and the recipient site creation/placing the grafts to finish the hair case. Ask the questions to your surgeon too. Good luck.

As a facial plastic surgeon specializing in hair restoration, I will sometimes combine a facial plastic surgery procedure such as a chin implant or rhinoplasty or submental liposculpting with a hair transplant.  The way these procedures can be combined is that for the first part of the procedure, the hairs are harvested from the back of the head using FUE techniques, then the patient is flipped over onto his back in a supine position, then I can proceed with performing the facial plastic surgery procedure, then depending on how long the surgery is, the recipient sites can be made as soon as an hour or so later then the grafts get planted.  It is not a problem for my anesthetist, nor for me and my team, to combine these so that the patient has one surgery day and one recovery.

It is possible to have hair transplant and chin implant in close time frame to each other. It doesn't matter which procedure is done first.
