I'm planning on getting Rhinoplasty, my skin is thick and oily and has several acne scars with large pores, is it safe to have Dermabrasion performed at the same time on the nose?, would that difficult the healing process?, I'm wondering if the cleaning and post operative care of Dermabrasion alone would put in risk the Rhinoplasty result, any advice?
Answer: Rhinoplasty and dermabrasion I'm conservative so I would not do them at the same time. Combining the procedures could damage the skin and result in healing problems. Some surgeons would probably do them together, but I prefer to play it safe. I would do the dermabrasion after a few months.

Answer: Is it safe to have Rhinoplasty and Dermabrasion on the nose at the same time? The combination of nasal dermabrasion and rhinoplasty performed at the same time would have a high potential rate of complications and delayed healing. They should be staged.I would suggest that you find a surgeon certified by the American Board of American Plastic Surgery and one who is ideally a member of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.Robert Singer, M.D., FACSLa Jolla,California

Answer: Is it safe to have Rhinoplasty and Dermabrasion on the nose at the same time? I would not recommend this for a couple of reasons. First, your skin is being injured from both the deep aspect and the surface if you combine these procedures. Rhinoplasty and dermabrasion are safe performed as an isolated procedure but performing together raises your risk of having some nasal skin die off after the procedure. Second, rhinoplasty usually requires at least adhesive glue and tape, possibly a splint, to help mold the nose and reduce swelling following surgery. This would prevent the typical post-op care of a dermabrasion wound and significantly raise the risk of scarring. Dermabrasion is routinely performed in the office under local anesthesia. You can stage the procedures without the added risk of a combined procedure.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Concurrent rhinoplasty and dermabrasion Definitely a bad idea! Damaging both sides of the nasal skin at the same time runs the risk of skin loss, retractions, pigmentary changes, etc. I would have the rhinoplasty first and follow with dermabrasion 3-6 months later.
