Revision surgery is used to tweak past procedures that haven’t worked out exactly how the patient wanted. However, it’s important not to book one too soon. As the nose can look different at each stage of the healing process, many find they don’t need another nose job once it has settled into position. As it can take up to 12 months for the nose to fully heal (both internally and externally), patients should wait until this period has passed before enquiring about revisional surgery. While there isn’t necessarily a limit on how many nose jobs you can have throughout your life, revision surgery is much more complex and can be riskier the more you have, as the surgeon will have to work around previous scar tissue and changes to the cartilage and bone from the previous rhinoplasty surgery.
