Many celebrities and reality TV stars like Shekinah Garner from 90 Day Finance openly discuss the plastic surgery procedures they’ve had. In Shekinah’s case, the show follows her journey to get her third nose job. Stories like this one often beg the question, “How many nose jobs can you get?”
The short answer is that there is no limit on how many nose surgeries a person can get. However, the risk of complications does increase with each revision procedure. To help minimize these increased risks and get a nose job result that you love, follow these key tips before diving right into rhinoplasty or revision rhinoplasty.
1. Have Realistic Expectations
Every nose surgery comes with some limitations, depending on the natural anatomy of your nose. While it is possible to achieve some changes on your “wish list,” others may not be realistic for you or may need to be modified. Understanding this from the start will help to set the stage for a successful rhinoplasty result that you are satisfied with.
Dr. Davis will work with you to create a customized rhinoplasty plan that blends your ideal look with a surgical plan that’s right for your unique facial anatomy. While it can be helpful to bring in photos of noses you like to help you communicate the look you’re going for, keep in mind that Dr. Davis may need to make some adjustments in order to suit your unique nose.
2. Understand Both Form and Function
It can be easy to get caught up on aesthetics when planning your nose surgery, but it is vital to also consider proper nasal function for a quality, lasting result. Over-aggressive or multiple nose surgeries may compromise the function of your nose, leading to issues like difficulty breathing or a collapse of nasal structures. You never want to sacrifice the function and structure of your nose for the sake of getting the “perfect” appearance.
That said, experienced plastic surgeons like Dr. Davis are able to seamlessly blend both aesthetics and functionality when helping you plan your nose surgery so that you end up with a result that looks great and functions properly.
3. Choose an Experienced, Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon
Working with an experienced plastic surgeon who understands the delicate intricacies of facial anatomy can make all the difference in your satisfaction with your nose surgery results. In many cases, choosing the right plastic surgeon for your nose job from the start can help to avoid unnecessary revision procedures in the future.
When choosing a rhinoplasty plastic surgeon, look at before and after photos and bring a list of questions you want to ask to your consultation. You may also want to get two or three opinions before making your final decision.
Whether you are just beginning to plan your nose surgery or are looking for second opinions to make sure you are working with the best rhinoplasty plastic surgeon, Dr. Davis is happy to sit down with you to discuss your goals and help you create a customized plan that’s right for you.
