Im interested in getting both procedures done at the same time, but in terms of recovery and health risks or infection is is better to do them together since I will be going through recovery once instead of twice or to separate the two proceudures. also how common is it to do them together? Also how much could I be saving in terms of cost if I do them together? and what are the health risks and recovery for doing them together vs separately ?

Answer: Breast augmentation and rhinoplasty at the same time? There should be no contra-indication to having the breast augmentation and nasal surgeries done at the same time. Usually, by combining the procedures, you will save money and recovery time. Discuss this with your board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Is it safe and recommended to have rhinoplasty and breast augmentation done at the same time or to separate the two procedures? Combining cosmetic plastic surgery procedures of a rhinoplasty and breast augmentation is not uncommon. Whether you are a reasonable candidate for those procedures depends on your anatomy, your medical history, the extent of the procedures, realistic expectations of the outcome and an understanding of the pros and cons of the various procedures. Safety should always be the main concern. It is generally recommended that the length of elective surgery be less than six hours. The procedures should be performed in an ambulatory facility that is accredited by one of the national organizations like the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgical Facilities (AAAASF) or in a licensed hospital. Most patients prefer undergoing one anesthesia and one recovery period which is usually more cost effective. Keep in mind that following the advice of any surgeon on this or any other web site who proposes to tell you what to do without: examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, and taking a full medical history, as well as discussing the pros and cons of each operative option would not be in your best interest. I would suggest you find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery who is ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or the Canadian Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (CSAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with, and discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. That way, you can have a better idea what is safe and makes the most sense for you.. Robert Singer, MD FACS La Jolla, California
