I have already had two. The first was strictly for a deviated septum. The second was for aesthetics but it went really bad. I need to get it fixed. Is it going to be a problem?
Answer: Too many surgeries?
There is no absolute maximum number of rhinoplasties that you can get as long as the skin is healthy. If you are still unhappy after multiple rhinoplasties you must consider a couple of possibilities:
1. Are your goals realistic
2. Are you choosing the best possible surgeon for your procedures

Answer: After septoplasty and Rhinoplasty, you should see if you're a candidate for a Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty.
All revision rhinoplasty surgeries are difficult, and less predictable than primary Rhinoplasty surgeries. If you're dissatisfied by the appearance of your nose, you should consult a specialist familliar with the proper use of Injectable Fillers for nasal enhancement. These non-surgical procedures work well for reducing irregularities provided your nose isn't too large. Feel free to email your photos along with a description, and I'll be happy to share my thoughts with you. You should leave a third nose job as a last resort whenever feasible.
I hope this is helpful for you.

Answer: How many nose jobs are too many?
In reality, this is only your second cosmetic surgery and that is reasonable. However, the answer to your question is: yes, you can have too many surgeries. As more and more scar tissue is created, the normal tissue planes become obliterated and healing may be complicated.

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty can be a very complex operation
The general dictum in revision rhinoplasty is that every time the nose is operated on it gets more and more difficult to make significant improvements. However, each person needs to be evaluated as an individual. The potential results really depend on what your nose looks like now, how much structure remains and what is necessary to get it better looking. I find that for most revision rhinoplasty patients, noses can be improved. The amount of improvement really depends on factors that need to be determined at the time of a consultation. Because of the potential complexity, you should seek out a revision rhinoplasty specialist for an opinion.

Answer: The MORE the Nose is operated on the HARDER it to "Get it Right"
Each time one gets operated on, the blood supply to the skin and internal structures changes and scar tissue gets deposited. While there is no set "safe number" of cosmetic operations beyond which bad things happen, all ethical plastic surgeons would tell you that it is best to "get it right' the first time around rather than try to get it with a second, third or fourth operation. each operations raises the rate of complications and patient unhappiness.
