Rhinoplasty and breast enlargements at the same time?

Question

I want both my nose and breasts done and want to know what the savings would be if I was to have these procedures done at the same time?

Mariam Awada, MD, FACS · Answer

Hello and thanks for your question. It is completely feasible to have rhinoplasty and breast augmentation performed during the same surgery. The primary benefits to you are the fact that you just have one time under anesthesia and one recovery process to plan. There can also be a small cost-savings in using the facility and anesthesia only once instead of twice. In most cases, recovery from two procedures is not much longer or more uncomfortable than recovery from one surgery. It is essential to choose a board-certified, experienced plastic surgeon that is well-versed in both these procedures to ensure your surgery is both safe and successful. Best of luck to you.

Hello there Yes I quite commonly do these two surgeries at the same sitting .Your main saving would be recovery time , time off work etc. The operating room costs and anaesthetic and surgery costs are more or less time-based and as these are two very separate surgeries they take pretty much the same time as if they were done separately .CheersTS

Andrew Wolfe, MD · Answer

It is perfectly reasonable to have a rhinoplasty and breast augmentation performed at the same time, and there are several advantages.   The combined surgical time may be shorter than doing the two procedures separately, you will only have one recovery as opposed to two, which should save time off work, and your surgeon may discount additional procedures performed at the same time.  Not all practices discount second procedures, so ask your surgeon to specify their policy.

For a healthy patient is fine the two procedures at same time. Usually the total cost of the surgery and the cost associated with postoperative care and recovery are reduced compared with have two different surgeries. So you can contact a plastic surgeon to have your quote

Hello, and thanks for your enquiry.
Yes, both surgeries can be done at the same time.
The biggest saving for you is a time and recovery saving- only 1 surgery instead of two means recovery from anaesthesia and surgery once, time off from work once and time off from your busy life once. Speak to a Specialist Plastic Surgeon though- surgery plan and techniques are so individual, that I always recommend that you have the consult first, then start planning, otherwise you are planning before you know what's best for you. 
In Australia, as a general rule, the cost savings are small. Hospitals may be reduced because your bed fee('accommodation') is only charged once. 
I hope this helps.
