Q. From what age is nose surgery possible?

Hello, this is AB Plastic Surgery.

Today, we have prepared an answer to a question many people are curious about regarding rhinoplasty.

Q. From what age is nose surgery possible?

A. In fact, there is no exact age that determines the timing of surgery; it is related to "nasal growth." Since surgery creates scar tissue, it can affect the growth of the nose. Nasal growth also varies greatly from person to person. You can see this by looking at how students of the same age differ in their stage of development. For example, there are cases of a congenital condition called "constitutional growth delay," where development is very late. However, in general, surgery may be considered to some extent when girls are 15–16 years old and boys are 17–18 years old.​

Also, some literature says that the growth center of the nose is the septum, so if you are very concerned about nasal growth, performing nose surgery using ear cartilage can be one option.
