Appropriate age for Rhinoplasty

First point about the right age for rhinoplasty is full maturity. Keep in mind that the age of puberty is not the same for everyone and Puberty is usually earlier in women than in men. The best age for rhinoplasty is between 20 and 30 years. Because in these conditions, all the components of a person’s face have fully developed and she\he has reached physical maturity.

The impact of age on Rhinoplasty is so great that if left unchecked, the outcome may not be satisfactory. In this article we will analyze Rhinoplasty at early and older ages.

Rhinoplasty at an early age

Sometimes we see that some teenagers at a young age have some psychological issues such as ridicule by their peers so they insist on Rhinoplasty. Of course, some teens also have to have Rhinoplasty due to respiratory problems or fractures, which is a little different. In general, Rhinoplasty will have complications at an early age, and we will mention some of the most common ones below:

Facial bone growth and negative impact on surgery outcome

Changes in nasal skeleton and structure of the nose

Intranasal cartilage growth

All the cases mentioned above will have a negative impact on the final result of the surgery and after a while, it causes people to be dissatisfied.

The decision to have Rhinoplasty at an early age can sometimes be based on the emotions of the people, and the role of the parents in controlling this issue is very important.

Rhinoplasty at older ages

Usually the oldest age for Rhinoplasty is 60 years. After this age, the elasticity of the skin disappears and the recovery period becomes very long. Rhinoplasty is not performed in people over 60 , mostly due to underlying diseases, respiratory problems, cardiovascular disorders, and complications from anesthesia.

The best time for Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty can be performed in any season. However, in terms of postoperative recovery period, winter and spring are more popular. First of all, you should expect that you may have more nosebleeds after surgery in the summer due to the heat.

We have dealt with this issue completely in an article that we suggest you to read it.

The result of the operation at different ages

The result of Rhinoplasty is directly related to the age of the individual, and if you have Rhinoplasty sooner or later, the final result will definitely not be satisfactory for you.

Rhinoplasty will work best when the person’s bone growth is completed. If you have Rhinoplasty at the right age, we have seen that sometimes the nose will not change until the end of life.

Before the operation, try to have several sessions with your doctor to check your nose for full growth of bones and cartilage.

Postoperative recovery at different ages

Certainly, postoperative recovery, like the outcome of Rhinoplasty, is directly related to age. After Rhinoplasty, you will have swelling and bruising around the eyes, as well as respiratory problems for a while, which will resolve faster at a young age. In general, it can be said that the recovery period will be shorter if you perform Rhinoplasty at the appropriate age.

Is it possible to do Rhinoplasty under 18 possible?

Legally, is not prohibited to do nose surgery under the age of 18, but it is recommended that you be patient until your physical development is completed. If for any reason you plan to have surgery under the age of 18, be sure to consult with several physicians and specialist surgeons to be aware of the possible consequences.
