RHINOPLASTY - QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q: WHO ARE THE BEST CANDIDATES FOR RHINOPLASTY?
A. Also, age may be a consideration. Although changes occur in the
nose throughout life, the major growth is completed by the time a
person reaches puberty. Rhinoplasty may be performed as early as 13 or
14 years of age. This helps avoid psychological trauma during early
teenage years.

11. I am 16 and have been thinking of rhinoplasty for a long time. At
what age is it safe to have a rhinoplasty?
Usually rhinoplasty is performed at the earliest, 13 or 14 years of
age in girls and 15 to 16 years of age in boys. Reason being, and it
is a known fact, girls physically mature faster than boys and the
collective goal is to perform surgery when at least 90% of the growth
is complete. There are major growth centers in the nose that affect
the growth of the face.

Bruce A. Wolf, M.D., from Elizabethtown, Ky., says, "I don't do anyone
younger than 18, unless it's a congenital problem. I will do
rhinoplasties on kids who can't breathe, but generally, I like to wait
until the growth of their face is complete, and that's usually about
16 or 17."
