If so, what are the possible effects of said surgeries when done simultaneously?
Answer: Combined facial surgery Although these procedures can be safely combined, it really depends on what is going to be done with the facial bones. If your bones need to be realigned and your teeth wired shut, I would not perform a rhinoplasty at the same time. If you just need those bones shaved down a bit, the procedures can be safely combined.

Answer: Is it safe to have undergo rhinoplasty, jaw reduction, and malar reduction at the same time? It may be safe to have all of the above procedures together. The challenge in my opinion is to coordinate the changes all at one time. Good luck

Answer: Is it safe to have undergo rhinoplasty, jaw reduction, and malar reduction at the same time? Surgeries on the upper and lower jaw that involve moving the bones (orthognathic surgery) should be performed separately from a rhinoplasty. Moving the maxilla and the mandible helps restore facial harmony and provides a foundation for the nose. Once the maxilla and mandible are set in their new positions the facial balance can be reassessed and an outpatient rhinoplasty procedure can then be performed.

Answer: Multiple facial surgeries It is safe (medically) to undergo all of the above surgeries. However, aesthetically it can be hard to judge the results of one procedure and doing a second one at the same time. Probably the best approach is to do the jaw surgery first and let it heal. Then it is easier to assess the extent of rhinoplasty needed. RegardsDr. J

Answer: Rhinoplasty and facial bone reduction The facial sculpting procedures you are looking for can be performed in an outpatient setting in one day. The swelling that follows ultimately may take weeks to resolve. This is independent of the number of procedures performed in one setting. Look for a craniofacial plastic surgeon in your area for an in office consultation.
