I had my first nose job done 20 years ago. Not much difference, he narrowed the width. I had my second one done 18 months ago. he narrowed width and took down tip (I think he narrowed width too much where tip looks big.) Before he did it another Doctor said it would look more "elegant" if I also did a bridge, but the doctor who did the work said I didn't need one.
I believe now I did. Please let me know if three surgeries are too dangerous and do I need a tip? Many Thanks

Answer: Tertiary Rhinoplasty
Every surgical procedure adds a level of difficulty due to additional scar tissue, compromise of blood supply, and possible loss of key structural elements. One photo view is not sufficient to make a complete recommendation. However, one piece of advice I will share is that tertiary Rhinoplasty requires a very defined and realistic view of what your goals are with further surgery, shared with a very experienced Rhinoplasty surgeon. Failure to do so will lead to a fourth Rhinoplasty and so on.

Answer: Bulbous tip after revision rhinoplasty
Dear Kensome,
Reviewing your photo reveals a bulbous tip that is not in harmony with the rest of your nose. The third and final procedure, a tip rhinoplasty is a reasonable procedure, if it is performed by an expert revision rhinoplasty surgeon. The only limitation, if you have thick nasal skin. In this case reducing nasal tip to more defined form is challenging. Good luck. Dr. Kevin Sadati
