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?

Answer: Combining facial plastics with a hair transplant 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.

Answer: Hair transplantation 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
