Asked By:Anon485745

I want to have two procedures. Breast augmentation / lift and rhinoplasty. My doctor said I can do both at the same day and I can save money. I will be under general anesthesia for 5 hours. What is better for health to do one surgery for 2.5 hours then after few months do another surgery for 2.5 hours or do one big surgery for 5 hours? I am asking what is the best for the health not for saving money.
