I heard that in males, the chin (including the jawline) doesn't stop growing (or getting more defined) till the age of 21 or around this particular age. I also heard that it's best to have Rhinoplasty at a later age because the skin becomes less oily and less thick which may decrease the refinement and improvement in a Rhinoplasty. In the meantime, I am doing excess research and answering my own questions the best I can. Thank you so much in advance for providing us with answers and concerns :)
Answer: Adolescent Chin Augmention
Most chin augmentation as well as rhinoplasty procedures are done on adults when final chin growth is finished typically from age 18 to early twenties. However in certain cases of malocclusion and undergrowth that is severe a chin augmentation may be warranted The reason we recommend waiting is to not intefere with potential growth which can cause deformity as well as to have a long term predictable result.
In the meantime chin injectables with fillers can allow you to see the difference until such time as surgery may be indicated

Answer: Age for male to have chin augmentation and rhinoplasty
After age 18 it is certainly acceptable to undergo a rhinoplasty and a chin augmentation since the facial bones have stopped growing by then. The thick oily sebaceous skin on the tip of the nose can be problematic in the healing process after the rhinoplasty and is best addressed with cortisone shots in the supertip area of the nose to prevent buildup of fluid and scar tissue in this area. The chin augmentation and the rhinoplasty are performed together as an outpatient procedure and take approximately 2 hours to perform in our ambulatory surgery center.

Answer: Rhinoplasty and chin implants in males.
If there has been no growth for a year at 18 years of age both can be done then. I have not had any exception to this in 35 years of rhinoplasty, etc.

Answer: Proper age for Rhinoplasty.
This is an excellent question. Women start their final growth spurt earlier than men and they also finish at an earlier age. For a girl, the proper age is around 16 and for a boy the proper age for rhinoplasty and genioplasty is after 18. The oiliness of the skin is somewhat hormonal related which improves around the same time as the end of the growth spurt in most people. RB

Answer: Rhinoplasty age for males
The most appropriate age for rhinoplasty is after the full growth of the facial skeleton. It is very individual depenedent but by 21 years of age most males have achieved their full growth potential. However, the earliest age for rhinoplasty and chin implant would be around 15 years of age. The deicison has to be based on an individual to ensure he is mature enough to handle the surgery at an emotional level.
