Does the age of a patient who undergoes rhinoplasty affect the success and healing of the procedure?

Asked By:Jane5249 in Seattle, Washington

I am a 38 year old woman who is considering rhinoplasty. Will my age affect the way I heal from the procedure at all? Is there any real difference in undergoing rhinoplasty in your late 30's versus your early 20's? Are there any negatives to having the procedure done at an older age versus a younger age?
