Rhinoplasty is a life-changing decision, but timing matters. At Dr. Dangs Clinic, Dr. Shivam Dang often guides patients on the ideal age for nose reshaping surgery — both for cosmetic and medical purposes.
For Teenagers:
- Girls: Ideal age is 15–16 years (after facial growth completes)
- Boys: Ideal age is 17–18 years (due to later growth)
Rhinoplasty at a young age can correct congenital issues, injuries, or emotional distress due to facial asymmetry. However, surgery is only recommended once the nose has fully matured.
For Adults:
There is no upper age limit for rhinoplasty, as long as the individual is healthy. Many adults in their 30s–50s undergo nose reshaping for aesthetic refinements or breathing issues.
Key Factors for Timing:
- Nasal bone development
- Emotional maturity
- Realistic expectations
- Medical history
Dr. Shivam Dang conducts a thorough assessment before approving surgery, ensuring both physical readiness and psychological preparedness.
