Is It Bad to Have Too Many Rhinoplasty Surgeries?

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.

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.
