I am considering getting both rhinoplasty for my nose as well as ptosis surgery for my droopy eyelids, but I am not sure which procedure I should get first. I believe that these procedures will help improve my appearance, which I am very self conscious about. Do you think these procedures would benefit me, and which one should I have done first?
Answer: Two procedures one operation Thank you for your picture. I see no reason to separate the two procedures. I think it's perfectly acceptable to have your eyelids and your nose done at the same time. Find

Answer: Timing of rhinoplasty and eyelid surgery The order of having rhinoplasty and eyelid surgery should not make any difference in terms of results. The simplest solution would be to have both at the same time so you would only have to deal with one recovery period.

Answer: Ptosis repair and rhinoplasty Both procedures could be performed at the same time, or separately depending upon how you wish to proceed. Ptosis repair is usually performed by an oculoplastic surgeon, while rhinoplasty is performed by a plastic/ facial plastic surgeon. If you separate them in time, best to wait a few months to allow full swelling to subside between the procedures. It does not matter which procedure is done first.

Answer: Blepharoplasty versus Rhinoplasty - timing of surgery Rhinoplasty or eyelid surgery: which procedure should I have done first?The photograph depicts only very slight eyelid ptosis bilaterally. A side view of the nose is not presented. It would probably make little difference as to which should be done first, eyelid ptosis correction or rhinoplasty. It might be possible to schedule them slightly closer together if you did the eyelids first. I would be inclined to wait approximately 6 weeks between procedures. You should consult with your plastic surgeon about this. Some plastic surgeons would even consider doing both together although probably not the best idea.
