What is the earliest age for rhinoplasty?

There are no concrete recommendations for a minimum age for rhinoplasty. Dr. Zoumalan, a rhinoplasty surgeon in Beverly Hills, does not perform rhinoplasty on girls younger than 15 and boys younger than 16. This is because he wants to make sure that the facial skeleton has completed its growth phase. Dr. Zoumalan shapes each nose to fit one’s face. Therefore, it is best to wait until one’s face is done growing. There is an area in the septum which acts as a growth center for the nose. This area should not be disturbed surgically unless totally necessary before the facial growth periods end.

What are the concerns for teenage rhinoplasty?

Some people argue that a teenager is not ready to make a decision which will affect the way they look. This decision should be made with parents well aware and in agreement with their child. For minors (people under the age of 18), this is mandatory.

What are positive aspects of having rhinoplasty as a teen?

Rhinoplasty can boost a teenager’s self esteem in a way that can truly transform the way they view themselves. A large nose can take away from features such as the eyes.  Rhinoplasty can also have functional (breathing) improvements which can improve sleep, exercise, decrease frequency of infections, and improve overall quality of life.

Testimonials

  • I was injured on January 7, 2012 in a mo-ped/scooter accident in Cozumel, Mexico. My entire body head to toe (literally) endured horrendous road rash, my nose broke & plenty more. The level of care I received from dr Zoumalan & his entire office was/is truly indescribable but I shall try!

  • It’s been a year since my septoplasty and rhinoplasty and I am extremely happy with my results.Not only has my breathing dramatically improved, I am sleeping better than ever. I feel healthier and it has significantly changed my exercise routine. I can definitely push myself harder and my workouts are longer and more efficient. Best part is I don’t get that winded feeling or stuffy or runny nose while running. I didn’t realize how many aspects of my life would change after the surgery.

  • I had a Face and Neck Lift on December 3rd, 2014. Dr. Zoumalan does excellent work! He is very thorough in explaining the procedure, and has an excellent bedside manner. I am so happy with my result. I would highly recommend Dr. Zoumalan.

  • So when I met with Richard Zoumalan, I gave him a picture of me when I was 42, and I said, “That’s what I want. Is that possible?” And he said, “Yes!” He explained what he’d do, and how he would do it. I had surgery less than a month ago, and amazingly, I look almost exactly like me, only about 25 years younger.
