Children who have yet to fully mature may be adversely affected by a rhinoplasty because their faces have yet to become fully developed and may continue to change. In this scenario, the rhinoplasty yields a result that may initially look good, but not as the jaw bone grows or other facial features change. Additionally, the nasal septum serves as a secondary growth center for the mid-face and it may be impacted by surgery, interfering with mid-facial development (although the recent science on this suggests it may not be so important).
