Are you a teenager or do you have a teenage child considering rhinoplasty? Here is some important information that may help in making the decision:
✔️ What Is the Appropriate Age?
Surgery is generally recommended after the nose has reached full development. For girls, this usually happens earlier, with a minimum of 2 years after menarche (the first menstrual period). For boys, it is typically recommended after the age of 18. It is essential that facial growth is complete to avoid future changes that could affect the surgical outcome.
✔️ Consultation with a Specialist
Before making any decision, it is essential to have a consultation with a qualified ENT specialist or plastic surgeon. This professional will assess whether the teenager is a good candidate for rhinoplasty, discuss possible changes, and explain the entire process and necessary care.
