how long do u have to wait between surgeries?

[jaizaine]

I have been told it's best to wait at least 4 weeks between surgies, in regards to going under anaesthetic again.

So I have been told I can get my BA on Oct 22nd. I have rhinoplasty scheduled for Nov 28th with a different surgeon.

I wanted to get both done at the same time but unfortunately it is not going to work out this way as I want the surgeon's do perform the op that I think each are best at.

So my dilemma is:

- do I do the BA and then the rhino 4 weeks later?

or

- should I postpone the rhinoplasty til say January or something?

Im also concerned about the amount of time I will not be able to train at the gym. Missing work with suck but I can afford to.

I've had more than one procedure done by DIFFERENT doctors in the same operating room at the same hospital. If both of the doctors you're considering are located in the same city, it really wouldn't be a huge deal for them to get together and schedule your BA and Rhinoplasty during consecutive OR time slots.

And it would save you a lot of money on anesthesia and hospital fees.

I had two doctors do minor surgeries on me at the same time (non-plastic surgery).
