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 fat transfer and face lifting, or septoplasty and rhinoplasty. Lastly, the recovery process following surgery would only be once, and you minimize downtime by avoiding two separate procedures. Commonly combined procedures include the following:
- Blepharoplasty and brow lift
- Brow lift and face lift
- Facelift and fat transfer
- Fat transfer and BOTOX Cosmetic
- Chemical peel and BOTOX Cosmetic
- Septoplasty and rhinoplasty
- Rhinoplasty and chin augmentation
