Common Questions about Rhinoplasty

How old do I have to be to have rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty can be performed at any age. However, it is optimal to wait until after the majority of growth is complete. Girls should wait until their mid-teens and boys their later teens.

Does it matter if I've had previous surgeries or an injury?
Yes. This can affect the outcome of your surgery. It is important to let your plastic surgeon know if you've have had previous surgery or injuries.

Does insurance cover rhinoplasty?
