I'm looking to get both Lasik eye surgery done as well as a rhinoplasty. I wear glasses so I'm wondering which one I should do first. If I do Lasik first, how long would I have to wait after surgery until I can get a rhinoplasty? If I get the rhinoplasty first, how long until after the surgery can I get Lasik, and when the rhinoplasty is complete, should I switch to contacts instead of wearing glasses until I can get Lasik done? Thanks for the help.
