Is It Safe to Have Rhinoplasty and Breast Augmentation at the Same Time?

The combination of any procedures is safe as long as it's done within a safe time frame. Assuming that these two operations are done under a general anesthetic, as most Board Certified Plastic Surgeons do, then about 5 hours total is a rough average of what it will take to complete.
The sequence of these two operations you've mentioned is critical. The implant procedure should be first and the contaminated procedure (nose) should follow. Combining these operations is fully supported by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

Hi there. Great question, Yes, it is safe and in fact commonly performed. Having the two procedures performed in one operation generally reduces overall recovery time and cost and therefore is favourable. The key is to identify a plastic surgeon with expertise in both procedures. Whilst most surgeons perform breast augmentation routinely, few perform rhinoplasty regularly, which is the more technically demanding and challenging procedure. Good luck!

Yes, it is generally considered safe to have multiple
surgeries performed at once, even if they are completely unrelated as in this
case. If you undergo both procedures simultaneously, you will only need to be
put under anesthesia once and will only have to recover once. This means that
you will not have to experience downtime, refrain from physical activity, or
take off time from work or other obligations for both the rhinoplasty and the
breast augmentation. 

In general it is safe to have a rhinoplasty and breast augmentation at the same time. It is the standard of care for your Plastic Surgeon to use prophalactic (preventative) antibiotics perioperatively so the chance of infection is small. There may be a theoretical advantage to first do the rhinoplasty, then re-prep, drape, change gowns and gloves and instruments for the Breast Augmentation. 

Performing both Rhinoplasty and Breast Augmention is safe as a combination procedure if you do the following 5 things-
1. you are a Board- Certified Plastic Surgeon and trained and have expertise to do both
2. Perform them in less than 5 hours
3. Done in an accredited Outpatient Surgical Facility with a MD or CRNA for anesthesia
4. Use separate OR preps and separate OR instruments
5. Sequence is not important but I do the breast augmentation first and then the rhinoplasty - I give another dose of intraoperative antibiotics 30 minutes before beginning the rhinoplasty as some patients can have a bacteremial with rhinoplasty especially if one is doing a signficant amount of internal/septal work as well
The Key is to be safe and be able to deliver a good patient outcome when combining any cosmetic procedures.

I just returned from a wonderful Plastic Surgery conference on MACS-Lifting in Belgium. The two plastic surgeons giving the course would perform both procedures at the same time, minimizing your anesthesia time and cost.
The doctors that described this simultaneous approach to Rhinoplasty and Breast Augmentation are Drs. Tonnard and Verpaele in Gent, Belgium. These are two top-notch surgeons that I would recommend without hesitation for both procedures. Pricing is competitive to US, and your stay in Gent, Belgium would be exceptional. Here's there web-site for more information: http://www.coupurecentrum.be/default.aspx?lang=EN
I hope this is helpful for you.

Both of these procedures take about 1-11/2 hours, so the time should not be a factor. You save money and have only one recovery period. If your doctor only does noses, he can do what we do which is bring in a specialist to do the breast surgery at the same time.

The real determining factor on having simultaneous cosmetic procedures is the length of time of the combined procedures and the amount of exposed tissue. If surgery is less than 6 to 7 hours then there is little medical risk of having both procedures performed at the same time. The most common procedure to increase medical risk when performed in conjunction with other procedures is abdominoplasty. What you should do though is make sure your doctor excels in both procedures. A great nose surgeon may not be so good in breast surgery and vice versa.

Generally speaking it is relatively safe to have both procedures performed simultaneously if these can be completed within a reasonable amount of time (less than 6 hours).

Indeed it is a safe procedure to undergo both operations at the same time. Just make sure that you have gone to a rhinoplasty surgeon who has performed thousands of rhinoplasties, as rhinoplasty is a much harder operation to perform than the breast augmentation.
