Can I Have a Rhinoplasty and Neck Lift at the Same Time?

It is very common to undergo rhinoplasty and neck lift simultaneously.  However, it is important to understand that undergoing septoplasty at the same time as a neck lift, the patient will have a difficult time breathing out of the nose because of congestion and tightness in the neck.  Claustrophobic patients are best treated with cortisone shots into the turbinates so that they can still feel as if they are breathing well after the combination of both of these surgeries.  It is also best to find a facial plastic surgeon that has lots of experience in both rhinoplasty and neck surgery, who has performed both of the procedures individually and in combination many thousands of times.  

To do photo imaging with your own photo, download our iPhone app free of charge.  Just enter "Seattle Plastic Surgery with Dr. Portuese" as search terms.  Once downloaded, you can simulate rhinoplasty by changing the shape of your nose to be smaller, larger, etc... You can simulate a neck lift as well. 

Yes, rhinoplasty can be done with essentially almost any other facial plastic surgery procedure. From what you have described, your neck would benefit from a neck lift with possibly some work to tighten the platysma neck muscle to create a tighter sling and a more aesthetic result.

I commonly perform rhinoplasty and facelifts at the same time.  Depending upon your surgeon's comfort level, it is certainly not too much surgery to do at one sitting.  The obvious advantage will be to combine your recovery time into one period.  Looking at your pictures, I would recommend strongly that you have a chin implant.  It will enhance both your rhinoplasty and neck lift results.   Best wishes!
