The minimum age for rhinoplasty
In most cases, surgeons, committing wait until nasal growth is completed before undergoing rhinoplasty. For girls, this generally occurs between 15 and 16 years, while for boys, it can be closer to 16-17 years. Performing the procedure too early can interfere with continuous growth and potentially impact the final results.
Rhinoplasty in its 20 and 30 years
The 20 and 30 are the most common ages for rhinoplasty. People are physically fully developed by this stage and are motivated to address aesthetic or functional groups. Whether it is about refining the shape of the nose, corrects a blow or improves respiratory problems, young adults tend to have a good balance of health, recovery and motivation capabilities for personal improvement.
Rhinoplasty in your 40 years and more
While younger patients dominate rhinoplasty statistics, many people aged 40, 50 and beyond see the procedure. Older patients may want to address changes in the nose of natural aging, such as a nasal fallen tip or changes in the structure. With modern surgical techniques, rhinoplasty is a safe option for healthy individuals to the virtue of any age, provided they have realistic expectations.
