I don't want to do both procedures at the same time and I would like to get cheek implants inserted in first, but I'm concerned that if I have a rhinoplasty after it might disrupt the implants, cause risk of infection etc. Can I safely have a rhinoplasty after getting cheek implants?

Answer: Rhinoplasty and cheek implants There is no surgical indications to separate these two procedures. However, you may have these two procedures done separately in any order you and your surgeon would decide. Good luck.

Answer: First my beak, then my cheek Anything CAN happen but assuming the same surgeon is performing your procedures, due diligence to produce your desired appearance and to avoid complications you fear will succeed. Nasal osteotomies rarely interfere with suborbital implants, and, even when inserted intra-orally rarely become infected. Still, this is a decision to be discussed with your surgeon. My preference is for patients to have both of these procedures simultaneously because they're in the same area, only one recovery instead of two, and cost savings, only one anesthetic.
