Can I Combine Rhinoplasty With Other Procedures?

Rhinoplasty is typically performed on patients between their teens and 30s.  Nevertheless, there are a number of patients who choose to undergo rhinoplasty later in life. Some have postponed the decision to undergo rhinoplasty from their younger years, but some patients find that their nose has changed in appearance as they have aged.

This blog will explore how patients contemplating facial rejuvenation surgery are also choosing to simultaneously undergo rhinoplasty.

What Are the Most Common Procedures Performed With Rhinoplasty?

You can absolutely combine rhinoplasty with other facial procedures, and many patients find this approach works better than spacing surgeries out over several years. Here are some popular combinations:

• Facelift and Rhinoplasty: A facelift focuses on tightening loose skin and lifting the deeper facial tissues. Many of Dr. Boris Ackerman’s patients benefit from his specialized deep plane facelift, which addresses deeper signs of aging with more advanced techniques. When paired with rhinoplasty, the result is a smoother facial contour with a nose that matches the refreshed appearance. 
• Neck Lift and Rhinoplasty: A neck lift removes bands, excess fat, or sagging under the chin. When combined with rhinoplasty, patients see improvement in both profile and jawline definition, which works beautifully with the new shape of the nose.
• Eyelid Surgery and Rhinoplasty: Eyelid surgery brightens the upper or lower lids, reducing puffiness and heavy folds. With rhinoplasty performed at the same time, the nose and eyes are rejuvenated in harmony, giving the face a more rested and youthful appearance.

It’s important to note that even though these combinations are popular, they may not be suitable for everyone. Before moving forward with any combination procedures, you need a thorough consultation with your surgeon. Your facial anatomy, healing capacity, and personal goals all play a role in determining whether multiple procedures are suitable for your situation.

What Are the Benefits of Combining Surgeries?

When your surgeon approves combining procedures, you gain several advantages beyond convenience. Benefits can include:

• Experiencing anesthesia once reduces overall risk and cost.
• Recovery happens simultaneously rather than taking multiple rounds of time off work.
• The financial savings add up since you pay facility fees and anesthesia costs just once.
• Your surgeon can also balance your features more effectively when working on multiple areas in the same session.

Most patients find that the psychological benefit of getting everything done at once helps them move forward with confidence rather than dreading another surgery down the road.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Combining Rhinoplasty With Other Procedures?

You’re likely an ideal candidate for these combined procedures if you meet the following criteria:

• Are in good overall health
• Do not smoke or are willing to stop before and after surgery
• Have realistic expectations for your results
• Want to address more than one area of the face
• Understand that recovery may take more time than a single procedure
• Can take the necessary time off for healing
• Have support at home during the first days after surgery
