Also if someone does get the hump removed, will they look better or can it ever make you look worse?
Answer: Appropriate age for Rhinoplasty The answer for my practice is when patients have clearly established skeletal maturity. Some people hit puberty earlier than others, and so develop younger as well. That translates to around 16 for most kids, but as the other answers imply, women develop earlier. Not only are the results more predictable for a lifetime of a balanced result, but patients are better equipped emotionally for the process. Be patient, it will pay off for you!

CONTACT NOW Answer: Minimum age for rhinoplasty to remove dorsal hump Young men need to be at least 16 years of age and young ladies need to be at least 15 years of age before undergoing a rhinoplasty for hump reduction. It is important to make sure that the facial structures and the nose have stopped growing prior to undergoing elective cosmetic surgery. Remember, once the hump is removed the side walls will also have to be narrowed to balance the nose out and not leave you with an open roof deformity or a flat top nose.

Answer: Hump removal can be about 14 years old for girls, 17-18 for boys. There are exceptions to this, but this is a good general rule. Once the nose is done growing. A good surgeon will not make the nose look worse.

Answer: Age for rhinoplasty
The issue here is that current dogma (not supported by good studies) is that surgery on the nose (especially the septum) can affect growth centers of the midface area. So, for an elective procedure, we'd rather wait until growth is complete rather than take that risk. While maturation will vary for each individual, for young women most facial growth is probably complete by 14-16, and for young men 16-18. Again, each individual should be evaluated separately and some doctors may be more conservative than others.
Hope this helps.
