Is it safe to have Rhinoplasty and Dermabrasion on the nose at the same time?

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.

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

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.

  I would have the rhinoplasty first and do the dermabrasion after you are healed from the rhinoplasty.  You do not want to have skin loss after a rhinoplasty.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

It is definitely a bad idea. By elevating the nasal skin you are injuring that skin underneath the surface, then additional injury to the surface is looking for severe complications. Also, I would consider other treatments than dermabrasion that have similar results and much less downtime such as lasering or radiofrequency ablation atleast 6 months to a year after the rhinoplasty. Make sure you see an experienced plastic surgeon in your area to give you the best advice.
