I am 30 yr female, is it too late get a nose job?

Rhinoplasty is possible at 30 and is the same as 20or 60. See a very experienced rhinoplastiy surgeon who does natural noses u like. 

Thank you for your question.  The short answer is that no it is not too late for you to get a nose job.  Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options,potentially utilize digital imaging to show you options for the corrections that can be done to your nose as we use in our practice, and then work together to create the surgical plan that best helps you achieve your overall desired goal look.Best regardsDr. Lane F.

Dear hrkI have a feeling that if you don't, you will be posting I am 35, .... The time to have surgery is when the issue (in your case rhinoplasty) regularly preoccupies you and the procedure can be done consistently and safely. Your age is not an important factor but rather your health and what you want from the rhinoplasty. Look for experienced surgeons who are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and see more than one consult so you can make an informed decision.

HRK,Its never too late to get a rhinoplasty. How long have you been thinking about it? Do you have breathing issues? These are all important details that you should discuss with a plastic surgeon.Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any more questions.I hope this was helpful,Dr. Daniel BarrettPlastic SurgeryBeverly Hills, CA

There is no upper limit to when you could have a nose job. The only limitation as you get older is your physical health and ability to undergo anesthesia. In fact most are probably a better candidate at an older age because they understand the limitations and risks of surgery and appreciate the benefits much more.

For the appropriate patient, 30 is certainly not too old to undergo a "nose job" (rhinoplasty).Following
the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you
exactly what to do  without examiningyou, physically feeling the
tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and
discussing the pros and cons of the operative procedure would not be in your
best interest. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon with extensive nasal
surgery experience who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery
and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
(ASAPS) or a facial plastic surgeon (ENT) that you trust and are comfortable
with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.

Additional information
about the procedure will help you decide if it is a procedure that you want to
pursue.

 It is totally acceptable to get a nose job at age 30. Many of our patients or in their 30s and sometimes 40s receiving nasal surgery

Hi hrk,The days when girls routinely had a rhinoplasty in their teens are long gone. In fact, a majority of our patients today are in their 20s, 30s, 40s, or older. In many ways, having rhinoplasty at 30 puts you in a better position. At 30, we find most people have a more well developed sense of identity and have a clearer picture of what they do or don't like about their noses. Often that added maturity helps to crystalize goals and makes your consultation process more productive. If you've been thinking about your nose for a long time, go see a rhinoplasty specialist who can review your concerns and do computer imaging to give you an honest sense of what surgery can do for you. All the best,Jason Litner, MD 

No, 30 is not too old for a rhinoplasty surgery.  I have preformed rhinoplasty for patients in their 60s!  It's all a matter of what you want and when you are ready to achieve it.  The goal of rhinoplasty is for a beautiful nose that appears very natural.  

30 is young and a good age for rhinoplasty. Age, per se is no barrier if you are in good health. One has to be careful in the very old that the patient can withstand anesthesia and the surgeon may not do an osteotomy as the bones may fragment easily.
