I am 23 years old and my dorsal hump is still growing. Is this usual? I want to have surgery but I have noticed it has been grown rapidly over the past few months. When should the nose stop growing?
Answer: Nose usually stops growing by age 16 The nose usually stops growing by age 16. The growing dorsal hump that is present is a callous formation, usually from nasal fracture or repetitive trauma over the junction between the bone and the cartilage of the nasal bridge. This can be rather easily filed down through traditional rhinoplasty techniques. If there is a large bump present, a nasal bone osteotomy will have to be performed to prevent a flattop nose.

Answer: Rapid change over months? Yes, this is unusual An adult should not be having rapid change to the nose occurring over a span of just months. If that's the case, it's probably worthwhile to have the nose examined to rule out other causes of nasal shape change (benign and malignant soft-tissue and bony tumors, fibrous dysplasia, etc.).

Answer: Timing for Rhinoplasty The question is about when does the nose stop growing. We usually wait until an individual is at least 13 - 15 years old. That is the age that the nose has grown about 90% of the size that it will grow. So although as we get older our nose may still continue to grow slightly, you are certainly of age to have a wonderful enhancement of your appearance.
