Question:

How old do you have to be in order to have rhinoplasty?

Answer:

Typically, the minimum age for a female to undergo rhinoplasty is 14, while for a male it is 15. Anatomically, the nose is fully formed at these ages, plus this is the time that self confidence and self image are of utmost importance to teens. Dr. Rizk believes that ultimately the decision to have rhinoplasty must be the teenager’s. He will not perform surgery if it is merely the wish of the parents.
