Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure to change the shape and size of the nose. This surgery is generally performed on people over the age of 18. This is because the nasal bones and cartilage continue to develop until the age of 18. In rhinoplasty surgeries performed before the age of 18, it may not be possible to fit the nose shape exactly.
However, in some cases, rhinoplasty surgery can be performed at an earlier age. For example, rhinoplasty surgery can be performed at an earlier age in people with serious deformities in the nose structure due to congenital anomalies.
It is important for people considering rhinoplasty surgery to carefully evaluate the risks and benefits of the surgery and choose an experienced surgeon.
