In this case, breathing through the nose will be difficult and symptoms such as snoring at night, mouth breathing and dry mouth when waking up will occur.
In this case, cytoplastic surgery or nasal deviation surgery should be performed in a limited way; Not cosmetic surgery.
In other words, in this surgery, the main goal of the doctor is to make changes in the nose. After correcting the deviation of the nose and improving the person's breathing, if you need nose surgery, you should do it after the growth period has passed. But cytoplasty surgery has no age limit.
Note that to perform cytoplasty surgery, you must visit a skilled and experienced doctor. Dr. Javad Rahmati is a skilled surgeon who has recorded many successful operations in this field in his medical record.
Minimum age for rhinoplasty
As we said, the minimum age for nose surgery is 18 years for boys and 16 years for girls, but it should also be noted that the time to reach full maturity is different for each person.
So, the doctor checks all the parts of the face to make sure that the person is fully matured.
If, after the examination, the surgeon notices that the growth of the nasal cartilage has stopped, the person can perform rhinoplasty surgery.
Generally, if anyone is going to do nose surgery at a young age like 12, 13 years old, they should hold back so that in addition to reaching the legal age, the growth of the nose will also stop.
Maximum age for nose surgery
Anyone may ask how long nose surgery can be performed?
In general, the maximum age considered for nose surgery is 45.
From the age of 45 onwards, the elasticity of the skin decreases to a great extent. Therefore, the surgeon cannot make the necessary changes in the upper part of the tip of the nose, and in the end, the result will not be satisfactory for the beautician.
Note that with age, the skin loses its elasticity and droops, and eventually the person's nose also droops. Definitely, the result that can be obtained from cosmetic surgery at the age of 18 to 30 will not be the same as the result obtained at the age of 45 to 57.
Actually, this surgery is performed with general anesthesia, which is dangerous for elderly people and if they have diseases and problems.
So before doing surgery in old age, you should first consult with the surgeon so that he can introduce you the best solution.
Investigating the longevity of nose surgery
Nose surgery has no effect on facial rejuvenation, unlike surgeries that are performed to rejuvenate the face and remove the damage and symptoms caused by aging. In fact, the results of rhinoplasty surgery are expected for a long time and in some cases will last for the entire life of the beautifying person. After passing and completing the growth period, the result of the operation will remain the same.
Also, aging affects different parts of the face and will have less effect on the nose. In other words, when you want to make changes in the appearance and structure of the nose, the result will be permanent; Unless you want to change the appearance of the nose again.
Evaluation of recovery time after rhinoplasty surgery
After nose surgery, you can do your work after 1-2 days, but it is recommended to avoid doing heavy and hard work in the first week after the surgery. The doctor rarely uses nasal bandages, and in case of complications such as bruising and swelling around the eyes, they will be resolved after a week.
It is possible that you will not be able to breathe properly using your nose for several weeks, which depends on the skill of the doctor. After 5-6 days, the cast on the nose is removed by a specialist in medical centers, and most patients will be able to return to work after 10 days of surgery.
After the surgery, the changes made in the nose will be clearly visible. But until the bone is completely restored and the swelling disappears, the final result cannot be seen. So, depending on the type of surgery and the operation performed on it, it may take about 12 months or more for the swelling of the nose to disappear completely.
For whom is nose surgery suitable?
Most people who apply for this surgery are not satisfied with the appearance of their nose and choose surgery to correct it. In fact, a small percentage of nose surgery volunteers go to the doctor's office to fix injuries and structural problems.

When is the best age for nose surgery?
Because young people care about their appearance and looking beautiful, surgery has many fans among this age group.
Generally, the plates that carry out bone growth are closed around the age of 17 in boys and around 15 years of age in girls. So the best age for rhinoplasty is 16 years for girls and 18 years for boys .

In general, no definite comments have been made about the age limit for nose surgery, while according to doctors, it is very important to observe some age restrictions during surgery.
During the consultation sessions, the surgeon will provide you with information about the right time to perform the operation as well as its limitations.
