Yes, it is possible to carry out a breast reduction for a third time. For personal advice, in your circumstances, you should get the opinion of a suitably qualified and experienced plastic surgeon. If you have details of the original operations that would be helpful. In particular what pedicle was used. The pedicle is the tissue that keeps the nipple alive and loss of the blood supply to the nipple is one of the complications of BR surgery. The risks of the blood supply to the nipple failing will be greater with a second or third BR so it would be helpful for your surgeon to know what pedicle was used originally.Best wishes
