A Rhinoplasty consultation with plastic surgeon “Dr.Sohrabpoor” about rhinoplasty or nose job , age limits and some tips about nose surgery in IRAN.

Introduction of Dr. Sohrabpoor

Hello doctor, please introduce yourself

I am Dr. Saeed Sohrabpoor, surgeon and specialist in ENT, head and neck surgery, faculty member of Tehran University of Medical Sciences. I have been doing cosmetic nose surgery or septorhinoplasty for about 8 years.

Do you only do rhinoplasty or do you have experience with other cosmetic surgeries?

I do rhinoplasty, I do chin prosthesis and I also do earlobe cosmetic surgery. I also have experiences in therapeutic surgeries such as salivary gland tumors of the thyroid and neck.

So are you familiar with all face and neck surgeries.

rhinoplasty age limit

Given that in this consultation session we want to talk about age limit and conditions of rhinoplasty. Please answer the question whether those who perform rhinoplasty at a young age, the result of the operation will change after a while and may return to the previous state? Please explain about the age conditions of rhinoplasty.

What is the youngest age for rhinoplasty?

In general, we face two age limitations on rhinoplasty:

• Physiological limitations
• Psychological limitations

Physiological limitations: The nose, and especially the nasal septum, like other organs of the body, grows up to the age of teens, and then this growth stops. What is said in references and academic books about this age is different for men and women. The age for stopping nasal growth is 13 and 14 years for women and 15 and 16 years for men. Within these ages, the growth of the nasal septum stops and will reach its maximum growth. And physiologically, rhinoplasty can be performed  one or two years later. But this is not the only factor!!

psychological limitations: After completing the physical development, with the counseling sessions that we do, we can check the mental and psychological condition of the applicant and find out whether he or she is ready for the operation or not? In most cases, the age limit for women is 17 years, and after this year, they reach this mental maturity suitable for surgery, and in the case of men, 18 to 19 ages, it is usually possible to have rhinoplasty.

Regarding the physiological growth of the nose, how can we know if the growth of the nose has stopped or not?

We usually understand this in two ways. The first method is to use previous studies and research in this field, and we know when it’s almost time for men and women to stop growing physically. The second method, based on the pre-operative counseling sessions and the information we receive from the applicant about the person’s height and physical growth in previous years, we can make our estimates more accurate and notice that the person’s physical growth has stopped.

Please explain a bit about the applicant’s mental maturity and how you noticed this maturity in the counseling session.

Given the approximate time of preoperative counseling sessions, which is about half an hour, and the conversations we have, we can almost realize this mental maturity.

For example, just because a person’s other friends do rhinoplasty, and therefore the person has to do it, is not a logical reason for the operation.

On the other hand, when the client talks about his nose problems and talks about his reasonable expectations, then there are more logical reasons.

Or sometimes it happens that the client does this operation due to the pressure of others, which again is not the right reason for the rhinoplasty.

In some cases, we encounter clients who face obsessive-compulsive disorder or depression, and so-called manic patients.

All these facts and conversations help us to understand this mental maturity of a person and to conclude whether this person is a suitable candidate for rhinoplasty or not?
