Am I a Candidate for Rhinoplasty Surgery? |

Can you go through a nose plastic surgery?
If you are unhappy with the shape of your nose, or if the appearance of your nose causes you feelings of discomfort and insecurity, you may want to consider rhinoplasty (nose job).
Generally speaking, any healthy individual can have rhinoplasty surgery as long as he or she is older than the minimum age requirement and the patient’s medical history doesn't prevent it. Below, you will find the specific eligibility requirements for rhinoplasty surgery.
If you are not sure whether you are an appropriate candidate for rhinoplasty surgery, contact us today to find out. Our rhinoplasty experts will be more than happy to discuss your unique case.
What is the Minimum Age Requirement for a Nose Job?Females are eligible to receive a nose job anytime after the age of 13 (14 in some cases). Men may receive rhinoplasty surgery from 15 years and up. The reason for existing rules which govern the minimum age for rhinoplasty surgery is due to the fact that up until the ages specified above, in both males and females, the nose is still developing (as are many parts of our bodies).
What May Prevent Me From Going Through Rhinoplasty?Basically, if you are older than the minimum age requirement the only thing that may prevent you from going through a nose surgery is your medical history. Like in the case of any other surgery we will have to make sure that you are not sensitive to any of the drugs (including antibiotics) that are used during the procedure.
In addition, we will want to make sure that your physical condition is good and you are not suffering from any chronical illness that may endanger you through the procedure.
In any way, prior to the operation we will make sure that your medical condition allows you to go through nose plastic surgery.
