What Age Can I Get Rhinoplasty?

The lower age limit for rhinoplasty is strongly connected with facial maturity. There is no point in having rhinoplasty if the face is still growing, because the nose job may not be in proportion with the eventual ‘fully grown’ face. The age of nasal maturity will vary greatly between young adults, however it is widely accepted that girls should be 15 or16 years of age and boys 17 or 18 years of age. There are necessary medical procedures connected with birth defects e.g. a cleft palate which will be performed on very young children. When it comes to an upper age for a rhinoplasty, there is no age limit, although patients will be expected to be in good health and able to make a good recovery from a surgical intervention.
