I Am 26 Yrs Old Wanting a 4th Rhinoplasty Surgery for Revision. Is 4 Too Many? Please Help Me. (photo)

JMedStudent
1st@22yrs: infection ate cartilage leaving dent in dorsum. Dr. then “stimulated” it by jamming needle in/out causing excess scar tissue &L. nostril to contract/deform. 1mos post-op he did revision & put excess cartilage on 1 side of dent & nothing on other 1/2, creating bump w/ illusion of even deeper dent. I have significant scar tissue & also tissue removed from root of my nose. 3rd surgery 2 yrs later didn’t change much. Im terrified if I have 4th: may have necrosis/inc scarring/contraction/collapse
