I would like to have a small hump on bridge reduced. Is 68 too old for rhinoplasty?

Question

Is 68 to old for rhinoplasty? Would like to have small hump on bridge redused, and I feel like my nose sticks out to far. Would not like drastic change. Have no major health issues, but I do have osteoporosis.

Hello and thank you for your question. As long as you are healthy and can obtain medical clearance from your primary physician, your age is not a contraindication at all for surgery I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

If you’re in good health, I see no reason why you cannot have a cosmetic rhinoplasty.
A lot can be done in the office using local anesthesia.
I suggest you consult with a few plastic surgeons in your community to see what each one of them has to say.
Quality outcomes from well done Plastic surgery can improve quality of life at any age.
Best,
