Combining procedures generally means a longer total time under sedation, which is a legitimate factor Dr. Kim evaluates before recommending any combination — your overall health, the total procedure time, and how the recovery of each procedure might interact all factor into whether combining makes sense for you specifically.
Beyond total time, combining procedures can sometimes mean managing two different recovery patterns simultaneously — for example, chin augmentation and rhinoplasty involve somewhat different swelling and activity restrictions, which need to be planned together rather than assuming they follow identical timelines.
Consultation Tip
If you're considering combining rhinoplasty with another procedure, ask Dr. Kim specifically about the total anesthesia time and how the recovery of each procedure will overlap — this gives you a clearer, more realistic picture than assuming it's simply "two surgeries at once."
