I have my preop appointment next week (3 weeks before surgery) for a correction of a deviated septum. Is it too late at that point to ask my doctor about adding another procedure (reduction genioplasty) to my surgery? Is 3 weeks too late in the game? is this unheard of?
Answer: Rhinoplasty and Genioplasty As long as the surgeon has time on his schedule the day of your surgery, it is not improper or too late to ask about adding a procedure. Rhinoplasty and different types of genioplasty are frequently done in conjunction with each other. The important thing is to get in to see him/her for an evaluation as quickly as possible so both you and the surgeon can decide. As long as you have a board plastic certified surgeon that is well trained in rhinoplasty and facial anatomy you should be fine.

Answer: Adding procedures during pre-op In many cases, you can add to your scheduled procedures during the preop appointment. Whether or not you can add the procedure is mostly dependent on scheduling. If your surgeon has time in the OR to add the additional procedures on your scheduled day, adding on can be done.

Answer: Adding procedures at the pre-on appointment It is certainly acceptable to add procedures at the preoperative appointment. In our practice, the pre-op appointment is with one of our nurses, not the physician. Make sure you speak with your surgeon about additional surgical procedures, during the pre-op or an additional consultation..
