I don't know if it is pseudo-science, but I've heard that the nose and ears change over time as you get older. It got me wondering how a rhinoplasty would hold up over time 10, 20, 50 years later after the procedure. Does the nose still change/ get bigger as you get older like it would've? Is there maintenance down the road after you get rhinoplasty, like revisions? Thank you for your time and knowledge!

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. After one year, the results are stable. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G.

Answer: Nose Job Rhinoplasty Results Over Time The skin of the nose thins out for many years after Rhinoplasty. Bones heal over a 3-5 year period and cartilage can soften over time. With Rhinoplasty, a long term strategy is critical in making a nose last for a lifetime. Restructuring, rather than removal of cartilage is critical for long term stability and natural looking results.
