How young is to young
Rhinoplasty should generally be delayed until after age 13 for girls, and 15 for boys (since boys have their growth spurt later than girls). By this time, the nose is 90% of its adult size. However, not every teenager who dislikes his or her appearance is a good candidate for rhinoplasty; many of them will outgrow their dissatisfaction their nose. About 10% of all rhinoplasties are performed in people younger than nineteen. In adults, the aging process frequently results in your nose becoming longer and droops more as the skin loses its elasticity. Elevation of the nasal tip may give the patient a younger look.
