Upper eyelid or rhinoplasty first?

The rhinoplasty procedure and upper blepharoplasty can be performed together or separately. It really depends upon the patient and how they wish to proceed. If performed separately, the cost will be higher, and you will anticipate 2 weeks of bruising and swelling for the eyelids and an additional 2 weeks of bruising and swelling for the nose job.

The two procedures can be combined together nicely. The main advantage is that there is just one recovery. It is common to have bruising in the eye area from rhinoplasty that can last from 10 to 14 days. Same with the blepharoplasty. When you combine the two procedures it's still just 10 to 14 days. If you do the procedures separately, they can be done in any order. The eyes have no effect on the nose and vice versa.
