Otoplasty & Rhinoplasty Done Together. Pros and Cons?

It makes a lot of sense to have both surgeries done at the same time as the recovery is simultaneous and not sequential. That is only one recovery time for both. The overall fees will also be less as there is one recovery and anesthesia cost less than 2 events.

The risks should be approximately the same whether doing the procedure at the same time or separately.

In short, the answer is yes.  If you know you want to have both procedures done, it is better to have one recovery than two.  There is no contraindication to have an otoplasty and rhinoplasty performed at the same time.  The trick is to find a qualified surgeon who can do both at a high level.

Otoplasty and Rhinoplasty are very common procedures.  Having Rhinoplasty and Otoplasty done at the same time is not uncommon and can be beneficial.  You would only have to undergo anesthesia once as well as have only one recovery period.  There is not really any interaction of the two procedures so the recovery time should not be any longer because you are doing two procedures at once.  Also, you may have some decrease in cost because the operating room is only being used once.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rhinoplasty and otoplasty can certainly be done at the same time.The advantages are that you will only have one recovery period and you may save money on anesthesia and the facility fee when done at the same time. There is really no down side of performing both procedures at once as long as your surgeon agrees.

For an otherwise healthy person, combining otoplasty with rhinoplasty makes a lot of sense. It gives you just one recovery period and it would likely save money as well.
