Can I have Rhinoplasty and Breast Lift at the same time?

Question

Can the two procedures be completed during the same surgery? I was hoping to do both at the same time to reduce the number of days I would need to take off for recovery. If yes, any provider recommendations? Or is it better two complete them separate, since a doctor may be better at one or the other?

Yes, they can be done together.  I would suggest a Facial Plastic Surgeon for Nose and a General Plastic Surgeon for Breast Surgery.

Yes these procedures can be done together, You want to look for a Surgeon who can do both or a office where they can have two doctors do these procedures for you.

Assuming that you are healthy and have no medical comorbidities, it is completely safe to perform a rhinoplasty and breast lift during the same surgery.  At our practice, two surgeons operate on you at the same time with one Board-Certified plastic surgeon completing your rhinoplasty while the other Board-Certified plastic surgeon completes the breast lift.  This cuts the operative time in half, reducing your time under anesthesia while reducing your postoperative recovery period.  Good luck!

Thanks for your question. Both procedures can be done under the same anesthesia. An experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon can give you a great breast lift and rhinoplasty result.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, Fl

Rhinoplasty and breast lifts can be safely done during the same surgery. But it takes a plastic surgeon who feels very comfortable and skilled in both procedures to usually make that happen. It would be more difficult, although not impossible, to find two plastic surgeons to come together to perform them during the same operation time.

Yes it is safe to perform a Breast Augmentation and Rhinoplasty together in the same surgery. There are many board certified plastic surgeons that specialize in both. Good luck

Rhinoplasty and breast augmentations can be done together. Surgical skills are intrinsic.  Skilled surgeon will be good at all surgeries.  There is misunderstanding about procedure limited skills. Skill is skill and skilled and gifted surgeon will be good at all things surgical.

Rhinoplasty and a Breast Lift can certainly be performed at the same time.  I typically do the breast lift first. Some surgeons don't like to place a breast implant at the same time as a rhinoplasty, but I don't see the contra-indication.  Operative time should be under 6 hours.  I consider the rhinplasty to be the more challenging of the 2 operations.  Make sure to seek a true rhinoplasty expert, and seek multiple consultations.All the Best,Dr. Brian Reagan

Dear Patient,

Yes, a rhinoplasty and breast lift can
be performed at the same time if there is no anaesthesiologist contraindication.
So to calm you, we surgeons sometimes we do Facial Makeover which includes more
than 5 surgeries in one surgery and we associate sometimes to body plastic
surgery depending on any patient.

Best Regards,

Dr. Nabil Fakih

Yes, this is certainly doable.  I combine procedures such as this frequently.  I am a specialist in facial plastic surgery and rhinoplasty and don't do the breast.  One of my colleagues who specializes in breasts will do the breast work and then I follow him with the rhinoplasty.  Total operative time is the main consideration as complication rates rise as anesthesia time goes above 4 to 6 hours.  The details of your situation will determine if you are a good candidate for the procedures.  Typically a combined breast lift rhinoplasty would stay under 4 hours.
