Nose Surgery Recovery
|
Question: What's the youngest age a person can have elective
plastic surgery, such as a nose job?
Answer: one procedure that is typically done at a very young age
is otoplasty. This is a procedure that corrects a lop ear deformity
(pinning back of the ears).
However, if you are specifically interested in the nose, it depends on
multiple factors. One is sex. Females typically mature earlier and can
sometimes have rhinoplasty surgery in the early teens. The main concern
is to make sure that full adult maturation has occurred.
In males, other factors should be considered. Not only do they take
longer to reach full maturation or growth to the nose, but we also tend
to wait until they are finished with contact sports, so as to not
re-break a nose, complicating additional surgery.
