Many procedures can be combined with rhinoplasty. Very often, septoplasty (or surgery to straighten the septum) is performed at the same time, as well as other surgeries to treat sometimes enlarged "bony spurs" inside the nose called turbinates. These turbinates can be sometimes fractured or reduced in size through "submucosal resection or turbinectomy." Turbinate surgery can help patients breathe better out of their noses. Septoplasty surgery can help patients to breathe better but also allows the surgeon to straighten and further shape the nose as well. Functional nasal airway surgery (to help the patient breathe better) is often performed at the same time as a rhinoplasty. Chin surgery (or genioplasty) is often also performed at the same time as rhinoplasty. Plastic surgeons should evaluate the chin and the nose together during the initial consultation. Often a large nose can look larger when compared to a small chin. A long nose and a short chin can make the face look convex, with the patient's leading feature being an over-projecting nose. A large chin can conversely make the nose look short. The chin and the patient's entire facial skeletal structure should be taken into account, as the surgeon aims to improve overall facial balance and provide a harmonious profile. Simultaneous facial procedures, like fat grafting the tear troughs, lips, and face are often performed at the same time. Many patients decide to "take advantage" of the downtime, anesthesia, and surgery day in order to undergo other desired elective surgical procedures at the same time in combination with their rhinoplasty surgery. These may include liposuction, breast augmentation (boob job), labiaplasty (vaginal rejuvenation), eyelid lifts (blepharoplasty), abdominal etching, and some form of tummy tuck or abdominoplasty. A number of procedures can be performed on the same day. Depending on the exact surgical procedures desired and estimated length of time, Dr. Lampert will make recommendations regarding which procedures can be performed together for that individual. Too much surgery in one day is never a good idea as Dr. Lampert puts safety first. Each patient is different and must be evaluated individually. A good surgeon will be able to tell the patient how many and what kind of procedures can be combined during the same day of surgery.
