Hello, folks. My daughter has crooked nose, so she is thinking of changing it. She is 13 years old and I wonder if she should do it. What is the best age for getting a rhinoplasty? Can anyone provide me with this piece of info? I will appreciate all your replies. Bye!

Hi, there. Generally, rhinoplasty is recommended to be done when kids finish their growing process. You can see whether your daughter has finished with growing is to check her height every four months. If there is no progress in height, then you can say that your daughter stopped growing. In general, the age when rhinoplasty is recommended is above 14 for girls and above 15 for boys. There are growth centers in nose. If they are touched during the operation and they didn’t finish with growing, this may impair normal nose developing. That is why it is important to wait. Try to explain that to your daughter. Good luck!
