Is it okay to have a rhinoplasty and a double eyelid surgery at the same time?

Question

I am planning on both of these procedures at some point. But I just wanted to know if it was okay to have both of these procedures performed at once, to, you know, kill two birds with one stone. Also, very roughly, what are the costs of these produces when combined? I want to know how large an amount I am looking at.

I have done these together for 35 years without any problem. Make sure your surgeons results are natural. The average cost is $12K. Shop quality not price.

Dear cherryIt is possible to do both procedures at same setting. The only issue isthat the amount of post op swelling around the eyes is often increased when eyelid and nasal surgery are combined. This can make early recovery a little cumbersome but that is well worth the two surgeries with one recovery period.Take your time and find an experienced and well trained surgeon.

I do not recommend combining these procedures. These are delicate areas where meticulous surgery is required to achieve the desired goals. While I'm sure you will find surgeons willing to do it, the likelihood of having a less than ideal result will drastically go up if you do. Good luck. Dr. G

Thanks for your question.  Its very common to combine rhinoplasty and facial rejuvenation procedures such as upper and lower blepharoplasty.  Its an ideal way to maximum your downtime.  When it comes to price, results last long after price forgotten.  Your best step is to arrange a consultation with a fully qualified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in facial rejuvenation.

Yes, you can combine the procedures. The cost of rhino in this area varies between 6-10 $K. Seek a plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of these procedures, has great reviews and photos, and is an expert in this field.

Eyelid surgery and a rhinoplasty can both be performed at the same time under one anesthetic with one recovery period. We perform this combination many times our practice. For many examples  and our  price list, please see the video and the link below

These two procedures can be combined. But just because they can be combined does not necessarily mean they should be. Depending on the exact components of the two surgeries your surgeon may feel that combining may or may not be advisable. When combining procedures most surgeons will reduce the fee of the second procedure. If you do combine them expect more swelling and longer recover than either one separately. On the other hand even though it will typically be longer there will be only one recovery. Discuss the options in detail with your surgeon.

This is a common question amongst patients.  Rhinoplasty and blepharoplasty procedures can certainly be combined to help keep some of the costs down.  Please consult with a board certified specialist who can assist you with achieving the results you seek.  3-dimensional computer imaging can help you see what you may look like afterwards and serve as an important communication tool with your surgeon.

It is fine to have both procedures at the same time, but I do suggest finding a qualified surgeon with much experience with both procedures to have the best possible outcome!
