Facelifts, necklifts, and injectable fillers are usually the first things that come to mind when people think of anti-aging procedures. They offer great treatments to achieve a youthful facial appearance. But, many people ignore the benefits of an aging rhinoplasty treatment, despite the fact that a nose job can take years off of a person’s face.
What Is an Aging Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty surgery can improve facial harmony and correct nasal asymmetry. Nose surgery also enables a patient to achieve a nose that complements the cheeks, chin, and other facial features. However, a nose job cannot stop the natural aging process.
The size and shape of the nose can change as a person gets older. Common changes to the nose that can affect the facial appearance include:
- Drooping nasal tip
- Thinning of the nasal skin
- Softening of the nasal cartilage
These changes are natural, but they can impact an individual’s facial appearance. If left unaddressed, they can cause the nose to look disproportionate to other facial features. In this instance, the changes can lead to an asymmetrical facial appearance.
With an aging rhinoplasty, a patient can correct nose issues that otherwise hamper the facial appearance. The treatment enables a patient to address these problems in their early stages. It can even be performed in combination with other facial rejuvenation treatments to correct fine lines, age spots, and other visible signs of aging in the face.
What Is the Ideal Age for a Nose Job?
There is no such thing as a “perfect” age for a nose surgery. Rather, there are several factors that need to be considered to determine if an individual is a good candidate for a nose job. These include the patient’s age and medical history.
A nose surgery can be performed as early as 15 or 16 years old for girls and 16 and 17 years old for boys. Rhinoplasty over 40 is common as well. There are instances in which patients get a nose job after the age of 55, too.
Is an Aging Rhinoplasty Right for You?
For those who are considering a rhinoplasty procedure, it pays to partner with a board-certified plastic surgeon. This allows a patient to receive a full evaluation from a nose surgery expert.
A board-certified plastic surgeon can assess a patient and their nose job goals. If the surgeon determines the patient is eligible for a nose surgery, he or she can craft a custom treatment plan. Comparatively, if the surgeon determines a nose job is too risky for the patient, he or she can offer alternative treatment options.
