Rhinoplasty I

Jun 13 • 1 minute read

The timing for any elective procedure is a very personal decision and can be based on a multitude of factors. Rhinoplasty is an elective procedure performed to enhance the shape and size of the nose. Just like the rest of the body the nose grows and changes as one goes from childhood to teens and maturity. The nose changes even as we get older.
 
Most of the changes in nose happen as children grow into their teens and maturity. The final growth of the nose is complete physically by around 15-17 years of age. This is a good time to contemplate your Rhinoplasty. You can have a Rhinoplasty at any time after the age of 15-17 years when the nasal growth is completed.

Fitness celebrity Jillian Michaels spoke to People Magazine about what her Rhinoplasty surgery meant to her, " I had my nose done when I was 16 years old. And I'll be honest, it did change my life... if there is something you want to fix that allows you to feel a little bit more confident, I support it.
 
There are many people who have Rhinoplasty at a later age. These are patients who have contemplated having the surgery and have postponed it for various personal reasons. Finally many have injuries to their nose from sports or other accidents. The nose can develop structural deformities to the septum making it crooked or they may develop bumps from overgrowth of bone and cartilage in areas of damage. These can be corrected at the time of the septoplasty with a Rhinoplasty being performed at the same time to correct the shape of the nose and the tip and to create a more balanced finish with harmony to the face.
