Thanks for your question. Age is not a factor when thinking of undergoing rhinoplasty procedure. Health is an important factor. You must be cleared by your primary physician before undergoing any type of elective plastic surgery.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

There really is no problem with a rhinoplasty in a patient with diabetes. Physiologically, the procedures fairly benign. Infections with rhinoplasty are almost unheard of. You look as though you'd get a good result from the procedure. Consider video imaging to get some idea of what you like

John Michael Thomassen, MD · Answer

As long as your blood sugars are well controlled and your are otherwise healthy without any cardiovascular risks you should be able to have a safe rhinoplasty performed.

Elliot M. Heller, MD · Answer

Your age is ok, most doctors would like an EKG done as well as blood work to determine your health prior to surgery. And if the diabetes is under control I wouldn't see a problem, some doctors may ask you to get clearance from your primary care doctor. Best of luck.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

A rhinoplasty can be performed on someone your age. You would have to get medical clearance and would need to make sure that your medical issues are under control.
