Are 6 Revision Rhinoplasty Surgeries Too Many?

July 5, 2011
Asked By:ausgal in Australia, AU

i have had five surgeries now as the first 4 were a complete disaster and the last surgeon had to totally reconstruct my nose with cartilage and fascia grafts. my nose is looking pretty good, slight asymmetry is evident however. is having a 6th operation risky in terms of tissue death? my dr implied that this had to be my last operation as i have had too many. i am wondering if tissue death is common?
