Question on general anesthesia & recovery time after breast augmentation 6 weeks after rhinoplasty

Question

Hello, I am scheduled to have ethic rhinoplasty in Turkey next month. I am also scheduled to undergo a breast augmentation 5 and have weeks after my rhinoplasty. I will be under general anesthesia for both procedures and just wanted to know if I was in the clear to do so. I am 23, very healthy and have no issues. The rhinoplasty should take between 2 and 3 hours, while the breast augmentation should be no more than an hour. Please let me know your thoughts or suggestions for recovery during.

That said, we believe it is always beneficial to keep your rhinoplasty specialist close to home. Small irregularities from the healing process and from swelling are often magnified by long distances. Wishing you well. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

The nasal bones take about 6 to 8 weeks to heal and sometimes 12 weeks for full healing. During this period if you are getting general anesthesia the mask applied to your mouth and nose can harm the nasal bones  or the cartilages. It is best to give 3 months in between at least.
