I am planning to do both a tummy tuck and a nose job/deviated septum repair and am wondering if it is safe to do both at the same time. I have a 1yr and 3 year old and am thinking one down time would be better than two. Do you think it would be best to do them together or separately in regards to risk and recovery? Thank you.
Answer: Tummy tuck and rhinoplasty is possible A rhinoplasty at the same time as a tummy tuck is done for the right patient. That is determined by your chosen plastic surgeon.

Answer: Combination procedures to decrease downtime Combining 2 or more procedures in order to reduce recovery time is a good option in very specific circumstances: your surgeon should feel comfortable that he can perform the procedures in a reasonable amount of time, you should be in good health can be able to medically tolerate a longer anesthetic, you should be aware of any additional risks, and the procedures should be straight forward so that there is a very low chance of coming across any surprises during the procedure, which can occur in cases for example that are redos (if this is your second or third nose procedures for example). If in doubt, you can always split these into 2 procedures-- you should feel fine 7-10 days after the septoplasty/rhinoplasty, and about 7-14 days after the tummy tuck. In the end, it is really up to you and your surgeon and as long as you are both realistic about the goals and limitations of doing the procedures together, it's probably ok to do so.

Answer: Safety of combining septorhinoplasty with tummy tuck It is possible and safe to combine nasal surgery with tummy tuck, though I wouldn't recommend it. Although your rationale makes sense (one recovery as opposed to two), the recovery is fairly miserable. The one patient on whom I've performed this combination didn't like me too much for the first couple of weeks after surgery. Her abdomen was tight and she walked over stooped, but at the same time, had difficulty breathing out of her nose because of swelling and mild nose bleeds. Although her pain wasn't significantly worsened, she generally complained of feeling uncomfortable.
