Answer: Septoplasty and rhinoplasty are best performed at the same time Ideally, your septum would be repaired and cosmetic rhinoplasty performed at the same time. You really want to have as few nasal procedures as possible. In most cases, insurance will cover the functional part of a septorhinoplasty while the cosmetic portion can be performed at the same time for an additional out of pocket charge. This can minimize your cost and downtime. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Is it ok to have Rhinoplasty after Septoplasty? If so how long to wait? I would have both procedures done at the same time so that you can have one recovery.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Rhinoplasty after septoplasty? If you are thinking of having a rhinoplasty, and you need a septoplasty, it really makes the most sense both from the surgeon's and the patient's standpoint to do them simultaneously. You should be able to find someone who is capable of doing both for you. Consult with a rhinoplasty specialist and they will guide you on the risks/benefits for you.Hope this helps and good luck to you!Best,Dr. Most
