There is no predetermined cutoff age for having rhinoplasty. An elderly adult in good health may be perfectly fit to have the procedure. In general, the following is recommended for patients 50 or over:1) Full medical clearance with history and physical2) Cardiology work up with stress testThe surgeon will be able to determine whether the patient is a good candidate after examining them in person. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

Healthy patients into their 70s and 80s may be able to undergo rhinoplasty. Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

There is none if the person is healthy. I have done this on patients in their 70's in conjunction with aging and often with breathing issues as well.

There is no age cutoff for cosmetic rhinoplasty. Many 70 year old people are healthier than others in their 50s. The most important factor is whether a person is healthy enough to tolerated both the anesthetic and the recovery from cosmetic surgery. This should be determined by both your surgeon and their physician anesthesiologist. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

There is no age limit on a rhinoplasty. As long as patient's are in good health, it is acceptable under a rhinoplasty at any age. The oldest person we have ever performed a cosmetic rhinoplasty on is 83 years old. For many before and after closed rhinoplasty examples, please see the link below to our rhinoplasty photo gallery
