Question

How old do you have to be to have rhinoplasty?

Answer

I avoid doing cosmetic rhinoplasty treatments before the age of 18, as the face undergoes considerable changes before this time, and individual patients' requirements continue to change with it.

I am happy to meet and discuss the project of rhinoplasty before the age of 18, but I would anticipate a repeat consultation prior to the surgery after the age of 18.
