Question:
I've had two nose jobs that were done by the same doctor that I am not satisfied with. I'm considering a third and have some concerns that maybe three is too much. I've decided that if I don't like the third I won't get another one, I just have hoped that it will be better than the last two. Do you think this is too risky? Are there ways to get a third nose job without jeopardizing the hyaline cartilage in my nose? Answer:
I would need to examine your nose thoroughly to better answer your questions. It depends on what characteristic there is about your nose that you currently do not like. A revision rhinoplasty would not necessarily be out of the question. Most revision rhinoplasty cases require cartilage grafting to enhance nasal support while ensuring a stable nasal airway. This often requires grafts taken from the nasal septum or from the ear to be added to the existing nasal cartilage. In my opinion, the main means of jeopardizing the native nasal cartilage is excessive removal by the surgeon. |
