Can I get a nose job and fat transfer around the same time?

Question

I'm eager to get a nose job and fat transfer but I don't know which procedure to get first or if I can get them at the same time. I'm getting the fat transfered to my butt and breasts and my worry is how I will be able to sleep at night if I decide to get a nose job as well, while I'm healing.

John Layke, DO, FACS · Answer

Although we can, and often do, perform multiple procedures on the same person in the same sitting, we have to think logistically. If a rhinoplasty is performed, we usually recommend that the patient sleep on their back slightly upright which would place pressure on the buttocks.   If too much pressure is placed onto a fat grafted recipient site, the fat will not take an ultimately be re-absorbed. If you are thinking of doing any fat grafting at the same time as your rhinoplasty, I would only recommend fat grafting to the breast.

Hello, thank you for your question. There is no complication having these procedures done at once. We do this procedure all the time. The recovery on sleeping would be sideways so that there is no pressure on buttocks and also on your breasts. I recommend seeking a board certified plastic surgeon to go over details. Best wishes!

Rhinoplasty and fat transfer simultaneously? These surgeries can easily be perform together and are best done by surgeons who specialize in each surgery. And experienced rhinoplasty surgeon should do the nose and a surgeon skilled in fat transfer should do that operation.  This is the procedure in our office and I'm sure you can find similar examples in other offices. Look for surgeons who do very natural looking noses.

Thank you for the question and though an examination is needed certainly the desired procedures could be peformed at the same time.Dr. Corbin

You can get all three surgeries at the same time without much difficulty in your recovery. Please note that you will have to sleep on your sides to avoid pressing on your buttocks and breast.
