I plan to have two surgeries in my holiday. A hair transplant under local anesthesia on the 24 of December and a Rhinoplasty under general anesthesia on the 9 of January. Will it be safe. Can they be done at these days , and would the swelling from one effects the other one ? And which u think I should do first ?

Answer: Rhinoplasty after hair transplant Adam1987, Thank you for your question. I do not think having the rhinoplasty 16 days after the hair transplant should be an issue as far as swelling is concerned. Some patients that have hair transplantation in the frontal forelock area can get forehead swelling that involves the upper eyelid and bridge of the nose but this usually resolves by a week out. Rhinoplasty swelling is usually localized to the nose and cheeks. I would recommend doing the hair transplant followed by the rhinoplasty (per your plan) as I would think it might be uncomfortable to sit through the hair transplantation under local with just having had a rhinoplasty. Depending on how much internal work is done during the rhinoplasty there can be swelling and crusting that makes it uncomfortable to breath. Good luck with your upcoming surgery.

Answer: Hair transplant and rhinoplasty The hair transplant surgery is an extensive procedure. In general, patients experience facial swelling that can that affect the results of the rhinoplasty. It would be advised to do the surgeries in the order you have chosen with the designated time in between. If you are having the surgeries performed by different surgeons, be sure they are aware of your different surgeries if they do not already know.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL
