Rhinoplasty, Upper Blepharoplasty, and Brow Lift at the Same Time?

Question

I am planning on getting a rhinoplasty done, and I also wanted to get an upper blepharoplasty done to correct the ptosis of my right eye and remove the extra skin on both eyes which make my eyes look smaller, droopy, and tired. I also wanted to get a brow lift to make my eyes look larger as my brows droop and make my eyes look smaller. Is it possible to do all of this at the same time? Is combining surgeries cheaper? On average, how much would this cost?

Generally, multiple surgeries can be performed if the operating  surgeon feels that, after consideration of the medical risks and benefits, it is safe.

Ronald J. Edelson, MD · Answer

The 3 procedures you mention can definitely be done at the same time and would be well tolerated.  the procedure would take about 3 hours.  Some surgeons may tell you not to do the brow lift and upper lids at the same time to avoid over correction, but I have done it many times without problems.

Aaron Stone, MD · Answer

Without photos or a face to face physical examination it is impossible to say if you are a good candidate for any or all of those procedures. In general when indicated these procedures can all be done together in a healthy patient to save on total cost and combine recovery times. The caveat is your surgeon needs to plan and make adjustments in upper blepharoplasty skin removal because there is a danger of removing too much skin when combining this with a browlift.
	
	My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship.

It is usually possible to combine rhinoplasty with eyelid and brow lift surgery. This provides the benefit of having just one recovery period. You'll also likely be able to save on some of the surgery fees as well.

	Not all surgeons who do rhinoplasty also perform lid ptosis repair. Similarly, not all surgeons who do ptosis repair also do rhinoplasty. It should be possible to have more than one surgeon do your surgery during the same anesthetic.

It is possible to combine brow/forehead lifting, eyelid surgery/blepharoplasty, and rhinoplasty.  The advantage of combined surgery is one overall recovery and usually less expensive than doing each separate.  Either one or two different surgeons can assist in the overall operation.
