As a facial plastic surgeon with years of experience performing rhinoplasty procedures in Toronto and Newmarket, Ontario, I have had the privilege of helping people of all ages achieve their dream nose. From teenagers to senior citizens, there is no specific age requirement for undergoing a nose job. However, it is important to carefully consider the unique characteristics of your nose and your desired results before making the decision to undergo surgery. Many surgeons recommend waiting until around 18 years old to have a nose job, as this is when facial features are fully developed. However, this is not a hard and fast rule.
Ultimately, the main factor to consider for young people considering a nose job is whether their nose has reached its full size as an adult. Rhinoplasty, also known as nose surgery, involves removing excess tissue, correcting crooked cartilage, and reshaping the nose to improve its appearance. It is a safe procedure for teenagers who meet the necessary criteria and are serious about undergoing surgery. This is why it is crucial to consult with a board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate your nose and provide you with a personalized recommendation.
