My nose is drooping. I also do not like the slight hump just below the bridge. I was concerned my age may be a detriment. Cartilage too brittle. Thank you.
Answer: Rhinoplasty candidacy is determined on an individual patient basis At our practice, we evaluate every patient on an individual basis for the appropriateness of a rhinoplasty, regardless of age! I recommend you make an appointment with a facial plastic surgeon who can evaluate your nose in person and help you determine if the procedure is right for you.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hi , Rhinoplasty can enhance the nasal profile appearance including nasal hump or addressing the tip. It is better for you to consult with a facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and discuss the surgical procedure and the post op recovery process.

Answer: Age and Rhinoplasty Hello, hope you are well. You are not too old to undergo rhinoplasty. In fact, I perform rejuvenation rhinoplasty all the time (often alongside facelifts, lip lifts, etc), because the nose changes as we get older--usually in ways detrimental to form and function. More important than age is your overall physical health because rhinoplasty is usually performed under general anesthesia.

Answer: Rhinoplasty in older patients... Age is not really a contraindication to rhinoplasty. The ligaments that help hold the nose together do weaken over time and can cause the nose to droop some. These things can be corrected in rhinoplasty just like in a younger patient. The only thing that is different is that in older patients, the skin doesn't tighten up as well so if the skin is thick, it might be harder to make a significant difference in the size of the tip, but it's always better. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty specialist for consultation.
