Can Facial Implants, Rhinoplasty, Buccal Lipectomies and A Sliding Genioplasty All Be Done At The Same Time?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I have an initial video consultation scheduled with you already. My question is, can all the procedures I am wanting be performed on a single day? Tentatively, I am planning to get infraorbital-malar implants, nasal tip rhinoplasty, buccal lipectomy, and sliding genioplasty (bilateral where applicable). Of course, I won’t finalize plans for any specific procedure until I get your ultimate recommendation at the consultation, but, for scheduling purposes, I am wondering if it is possible to perform all of these in one operation. In particular, I would like to know whether it is safe to be under anesthesia for the duration of these procedures. Thanks, looking forward to speaking with you.

A: It is very common to perform many facial procedures at the same time. So the combination of IOM implants, tip rhinoplasty, buccal lipectomies and sliding genioplasty do not pose any medical risks or any undue physiologic stress on the patient through both the surgery and the healing process.
