Rhinoplasties are one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries people undergo to reach their aesthetic goals. However, you may also be interested in other facial surgeries, and it makes sense to wonder if you can have multiple procedures at once. The simple answer is yes, you can combine rhinoplasty with other surgeries. In fact, combining rhinoplasty with other surgeries is a great way to reach your body goals quicker. Here are some common surgical procedures that could be combined with rhinoplasty.
Ear Surgery
Ear surgery, also known as otoplasty, is the surgical altering of the ears. This is often done to correct issues like cupped ears, protruding ears, and lop ears. One of the most common forms of otoplasty is called ear pinning. Ear pinning is often done at a young age to correct protruding ears, but it can be performed at any age. Otoplasty is a great surgery to combine with rhinoplasty for a more dramatic change in facial balance.
Eyelid Surgery
Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic surgery performed on the eyelids. It is normally used to remove loose or sagging skin from the eyelid. However, it can also be used to correct eyelid drooping from things like weak facial muscles. Blepharoplasty is a fantastic procedure to combine with rhinoplasty to make more dramatic changes to the center of your face.
Chin Surgery
Chin surgery is designed to achieve different results like chin reduction, chin re-shaping, reduction of chin fat, and chin augmentation. Chin surgery is often used to correct asymmetry issues with the chin. Combing rhinoplasty with chin surgery can help enhance the midline of your face and create better facial symmetry.
Should I Combine Cosmetic Surgeries?
Deciding if you should combine cosmetic surgeries with rhinoplasty comes down to your personal preference and your surgeon’s opinion. Any surgery has its inherent risks, and you will be recovering from two surgeries at once. This can complicate the recovery process and requires a healthy individual.
