Which one first? Forehead lowering or revision rhinoplasty?

Question

Dear doctors, in 2024 I have my revision rhinoplasty, mostly to deproject my nose (make it shorter). I am also interested in forehead lowering to make my forehead shorter. Which procedure shall I do first? My concern is when I do the forehead after the nose job, my nose will be more projected again. This happening because of the "new" correlation between the nose and forehead? Or is this not the case? I prefer doing the forehead after the nose, but i am a bit afraid for this reason

Hello! Thank you for your question.I recommend you get the forehead surgery after your revision rhinoplasty. The nose is in the middle of the face and it can change the whole look of your face. Maybe after your revision rhinoplasty you won't need to get the forehead surgery anymore :)
Best regards! Prof. Dr. Selcuk Inanli

I assume you mean hairline lower surgery. If they are to be done separately, I would recommend hairline lowering first then revision rhinoplasty second. It is not an issue with apparent projection but more excess skin at the glabella or radix. It depends on your specific skin excess and thickness situation if there could be an issue or not.
