Can I Undergo a Rhinoplasty at 16?
The general answer to your question is, yes, most of the time rhinoplasty can be safely done at age sixteen. More specifically, it depends on your individual facial skeletal maturity and what you want to accomplish, as well as your ability to comply with the after care instuctions. This can best be determined at a consultation with your facial plastic surgeon, where you and your parents can learn more and make an informed decision. Good luck!
i have a rhinoplasty scheduled for next week. my doctor said he will keep the splint on my face for 7 days, but my mom surprised me with a plane ticket out of state scheduled 4 days after my surgery. i prefer not to have my nose bandaged during my visit. so, my question is: would it be ok to remove my nasal splint after 4 days? the only work my my cosmetic surgeon will be doing on my nose is a tip reduction and slight rotation, and just shaving down the bridge. Thanks!
This is definitely an issue to discuss with your surgeon before your planned operation. The best results depend on a partnership between you and your surgeon, including honest communication. Only he knows what will be the proper length of time to have your nose taped and splinted, based on what he finds and does intraoperatively. The short term inconvenience should be worth an excellent long term result. Good luck!
I got a rhinoplasty a month ago and there is a huge indention in the nostril base on the left side. It makes my profile from the left look much worse than the right... Even if the doctor 'smooths it out,' how will this raise the indention? He almost gets offended when I ask about it. Has anyone ever seen this? I completely did not expect this. Trent
Im guessing but you may have had an open rhinoplasty, with cartilage grafting. The distal most tip of the columellar skin flap is therefore the area under greatest tension and has the worst blood supply. In the area of the nostril sill it is not uncommon to have a depression or notchin. This effect can be due to swelling of the tip of the skin flap, which subsides over time. Worst case scenario, filler such as restylane or even micro fat grafting can take care of this. Best Regards,
Dr Del Vecchio
