Has anyone had rhinoplasty and breast implants done together? Anything I should know about the recovery?

Question

Is it safer to have them done separately or is doing them together ok?

William Townley, MD, FRCS(Plast) · Answer

Hi there. Thank you for your post. It is quite common for breast enlargement surgery and rhinoplasty to be performed in the same operation - it saves on overall recovery time and expense. There are slightly increased risks associated with having a longer operation but this will be discussed in more detail during your consultation. Good luck!

Dear Srbmom2017,some plastic surgeons may want to split this into two operations depending on the time needed. Its best to see a board-certified plastic surgeon to determine your options and whether it would take too long, greater than 6 hours, to do both.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  Rhinoplasty and breast augmentation are commonly combined into a single surgical setting.  This is a very safe combination in healthy patients.  Make sure you specifically look
at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery
performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.   The most
important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

You should be able to safely combine these surgeries with minimal to no risk of jeopardizing either one!

A rhinoplasty and a breast augmentation can be performed at the same time for the right candidates...
