The first nose surgery I had was a rhinoplasty because It was broken. Then It got broken again and I had to get a septoplasty to fix the airways because they were really crooked and I was dumb to not do the rhinoplasty at the same time and now it is a year later and I'm thinking about doing the rhinoplasty to straighten the hump on my nose. Should I be worried about my nose getting deformed from a second rhinoplasty?
Answer: 3rd rhinoplasty procedure Revision rhinoplasty should always be performed after extensive evaluation to make sure that you are a good candidate. Generally speaking, the skin tissue envelope, cartilages and nasal bone must be carefully evaluated to make sure that revision surgery can be performed. You also need to consider the expertise of your surgeon, as some plastic surgeons have more experience with revision surgery. Finally you need to make sure you have reasonable expectations about surgery. Overall, it sounds like you have had one external surgery and one internal surgery. If above mentioned factors are favorable, then there are no red flags in proceeding with surgery.

Answer: Multiple nasal surgeries Revision rhinoplasty is usually more complicated than primary rhinoplasty surgery. There is not a specific number of surgeries which make the risks go significantly higher or outcomes be worse. The most important thing, as the other surgeons mentioned, is to find a surgeon who has experience with revision rhinoplasty and can explain, in detail, what they believe is possible for your specific case. The use of computer imaging is important so you are both on the same page and working to the same goal.Best of luck
