I have had four nose jobs and am still not happy with my nose.

Question:

I have had four nose jobs and am still not happy with my nose. Can it still be fixed? How many nose jobs are just too many?

Answer:

With each rhinoplasty there is an increased risk of complications and given all the work that you have had done clearly this is a procedure that should be undertaken very, very cautiously, if at all, and definitely by a highly experienced surgeon. It still may be possible to create some moderate degree of improvement, even a significant degree, by relatively limited maneuvers which the experienced surgeon can perform. These limited procedures avoid completely elevating the skin as that is where the complications typically can develop. Furthermore, with any revision procedure, attention must be paid to re-building or re-creating the structural components of the nose so as to achieve a stronger or anatomic result.
