Can a facelift and rhinoplasty be performed at the same time? 44 y/o (photos)

Hello and thank you for your question. Generally, your risk for complications increases after your surgery length exceeds 4.5-5 hours. Although there are some surgeons who can do a facelift and rhinoplasty collectively in less than this amount of time, many will take that whole time for just the facelift. Additionally, both a facelift and a rhinoplasty are very complex procedures, even for those surgeons who do hundreds of them every year, so you do not want your surgeon rushing with either the facelift or the rhinoplasty, as you want them to instead deliver the best possible aesthetic result from these procedures. Therefore, it is possible to do the rhinoplasty during the same surgery, but given the unnecessarily increased risk for complications in combining these elective procedures, I would not recommend it. The safer option would be to stage these into 2 separate surgeries- the facelift as one surgery, and the rhinoplasty as another. I hope this helps!
Best,

Hello, a face/neck lift with rhinoplasty is a possible combination which can be done at the same time. In your case I would recommend fat injection to your forehead as It will give a better harmonious look from the profile. This information is only regarding for your photos and my suggestions may change during my examination. Regards.

Greetings from Istanbul, Turkey! Rhinoplasty and face lifts are routinely performed together and may help you get the youthful appearance you desire. It is best to decide on the specific type of face lift and rhinoplasty that you would give the best results with a consultation.

The simple answer is that they can be performed at the same time, and I have done so from time to time. However, I generally separate the procedures due to time limitations, and a different scope of recovery.

Thank you for your question and for providing photos. It is possible to combine a facelift and rhinoplasty into one surgical procedure. Many patients choose to combine procedures to minimize anesthesia and recovery time and produce more dramatic results. While you appear to be a candidate for rhinoplasty and a facelift to enhance your appearance, the dynamic forehead wrinkles you’re referring to would likely benefit most from Botox injections to smooth them away.
I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon and injector. They will be able to discuss your concerns with you and answer any questions you have to help you decide on the best course of action.

Thank you for your question.

Facelift and rhinoplasty surgery are often combined since reshaping the nose can also contribute to the more youthful appearance of the face.

Considering that the jawline contour is relatively good in your case, you could also opt for a deep plane neck lift procedure which improves the appearance of the jawline but more specifically addresses the definition of the neck and submental area. This has a tendency to emphasise the appearance of the facial features.

The benefit to having a facelift and a rhinoplasty done at the same time is there is a single recovery, and the price is usually less because there is a single anesthesia. The lines on your forehead are best treated with Botox to deactivate your frontalis muscle, so that it stops flexing the skin of your forehead. The lines on your face are more likely to be amenable to a facelift and ancillary treatments such as Renova, chemical peels or laser resurfacing of the skin. Have a detailed consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to find out your best option. Best wishes.

Hello! First of all thank you for your question.It is of course possible to combine face lift + rhinoplasty surgery. In your case, if you don't want a full face lift I can also recommend Forehead & Eyebrow Lifting + Rhinoplasty.

Yes, a facelift and rhinoplasty can be performed at the same time. In fact, many people choose to have multiple cosmetic procedures done simultaneously to achieve their desired look and minimize downtime. However, it's important to keep in mind that combining procedures can increase the length and complexity of the surgery, as well as the risk of complications. Therefore, it's crucial to discuss your options with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon who can evaluate your individual case and recommend the best course of action. They will also explain the potential risks and benefits of combining procedures and help you make an informed decision.

It should be decided on the basis of in person evaluation and discussion about options, what are the best procedure in your case. Rhinoplasty would create benefit as well as neck lift. Whether face and neck lift together, that can be decided only on the basis of in person consultation. Botox for forehead wrinkles would work. Good luck.
