Cosmetic surgery of the nose, technically known as Rhinoplasty, is a widely performed procedure. Rhinoplasty can improve the size and shape of the nose, resulting in a better balance between the nose and the remainder of a person's facial features. A significant improvement in the overall appearance of the face can result. Rhinoplasty is generally not performed until the patient's nose is fully developed. Thus, it is typically not done until patients are at least 14 years old or older. There is no upper age limit for the procedure, assuming reasonably good health of the patient. Along with aesthetic improvement, rhinoplasty can sometimes be used to correct certain breathing problems related to the structure of the nose. If you feel that your nose is too large, too wide, too asymmetrical or crooked, or otherwise displeasing in appearance, you may be a good candidate for rhinoplasty.
