Yes, it’s generally preferred to combine procedures. First, by combining surgery, insurance may cover a portion of the procedure, and you may save money on fees. Secondly, tissue modified from one area may be used for another surgical area, such as cartilage from septoplasty used for rhinoplasty. Lastly, the recovery process following surgery would only be once, and you minimize downtime by avoiding two separate procedures. Commonly combined procedures with rhinoplasty include the following:
- Facial Sculpting
- Chin Augmentation
- Septoplasty
- Turbinate Surgery
- Chemical Peels
