Teenage Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty can be performed for teenagers, after 16-17 years (very rarely, below 16). A large number of these patients may have internal nasal problems with trouble breathing. Factors, such as the degree of internal/external nasal structure deformity, patient’s maturity (psychological), official approval of parents (if age is below 18), and support of family members must be evaluated together, before surgery.
