It's best to postpone cosmetic nose surgery until your nose has finished developing. For girls, that usually occurs by about age 15 or 16. Boys typically reach the same point a couple of years later. Nose surgery to correct breathing difficulties is an exception, and Dr. Narasimhan can discuss the specifics with you if that is the main concern. There is no upper age limit for a nose job — the only boundary there is to make sure you are healthy enough to undergo surgery — but most patients choose to have rhinoplasty in their 20s and 30s.
