Question:
How many rhinoplasties are too many? I’ve undergone a total of five procedures and I still don’t feel like the work of the first doctor has been sufficiently fixed. Is it still possible to have my nose fixed?
Answer:
Five rhinoplasties is a lot of surgery. Unless your nose is significantly deformed or severely functionally impaired I would suggest refraining from any further rhinoplasty surgery. Depending upon the amount of work that was performed on your nose it is likely that after three rhinoplasty surgeries the normal anatomy is unidentifiable and further surgery may only cause further damage to your nose. I would only be able to tell you if you have had too much rhinoplasty surgery after examining you personally. If I felt that I could significantly and safely improve the issues that you have had with your nose, then I would proceed with revision rhinoplasty. If the issues are relatively minor in my opinion, then I would not perform the revision rhinoplasty.
