    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    While there is technically no limit to the number of rhinoplasty surgeries a person can have, risks and complications increase with each surgery, so it may be difficult to find a cosmetic surgeon who is willing to do more than three revisions.

    Terminology

    The first nose job is called a primary rhinoplasty and all subsequent surgeries are called revision rhinoplasties. Second and third procedures may also be called secondary and tertiary rhinoplasties, respectively.

    Reasons for Revision

    According to revisionrhinoplasty.net, rhinoplasty has the highest revision rate among cosmetic surgeries. Many patients feel depressed after surgery or uncomfortable with their new appearance and seek revision as a solution.

    Common Complications

    One common complication associated with multiple nose surgeries is the presence of too much scar tissue. After rhinoplasty, scar tissue forms as the nose heals; this tissue is more difficult to work with and complicates the surgeon's job of finding and correcting problematic cartilage, according to FacialSurgery.com.

    Side Effects

    Other possible side effects of revision rhinoplasty include broken blood vessels, temporary loss of smell, excessive scarring, prolonged swelling, asymmetry and pulling of the nose to one side, according to Spalding Drive Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology.

    Considerations

    If you're considering a revision rhinoplasty, seek out a surgeon who has extensive experience with revisions and discuss your hopes for the surgery's outcome to see whether he feels capable of meeting your needs.
