Answer: Ideal age for rhinoplasty Rhinoplasty can be performed safely after approximately 15 years of age, when the nasal-growth plates have reached 90-95% of their potential adult size. However, this must be determined on a case-by-case basis, as occasionally I have encountered teens who, at 15, have not finished the brunt of their growing spurt. No matter your age, however, if you are traumatized by an unfortunate-looking nose, with a bulbous tip, crooked bridge, oversized proportion, dorsal bump, hooked or “beaked” appearance, plunging tip or too-wide nostrils, you are the right age. I’ve performed rhinoplasty surgery on patients in their 70s, in fact, in conjunction with face lifts. The ideal age to have a rhinoplasty is whenever you look in the mirror and don’t like what you see.

Answer: Generally speaking, I think after 22-years is a good age I never perform a rhinoplasty for cosmetic reasons on anyone under the age of 18-years. Even at the age of 18, I often ask patients who is supporting them at home. It is always good to have a parent or other older family member on your side. Imagine if things don't quite go to plan? The last thing you need at this stage is your mum or dad saying "i told you you shouldn't have had this done in the first place!'.
