I heard that in males, the chin (including the jawline) doesn't stop growing (or getting more defined) till the age of 21 or around this particular age. I also heard that it's best to have Rhinoplasty at a later age because the skin becomes less oily and less thick which may decrease the refinement and improvement in a Rhinoplasty. In the meantime, I am doing excess research and answering my own questions the best I can. Thank you so much in advance for providing us with answers and concerns :)

Answer: Rhinoplasty age for males
The most appropriate age for rhinoplasty is after the full growth of the facial skeleton. It is very individual depenedent but by 21 years of age most males have achieved their full growth potential. However, the earliest age for rhinoplasty and chin implant would be around 15 years of age. The deicison has to be based on an individual to ensure he is mature enough to handle the surgery at an emotional level.

Answer: At what age are you old enough to have a rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty can be performed on young men and woman after their facial growth has been completed. This typically translates into age 15-16 for woman and 16-17 for men.
