Rhinoplasty Before & Afters
Navigating Peer Pressure and Personal Choice
What is Teenage Rhinoplasty?
Teenage rhinoplasty is a specialized form of rhinoplasty tailored to younger patients, typically under the age of 18. It involves using advanced rhinoplasty techniques to deliver ideal results that not only complement a juvenile face but are long-lasting and natural-looking as the patient matures.
What Is the Minimum Age for Rhinoplasty?
While there is no minimum age for rhinoplasty, Dr. Nima and Dr. Parsa recommend young adults wait until their nose is fully developed. This varies from patient to patient but is generally between the ages of 16 and 18 years old. That said, Dr. Nima and Dr. Parsa have performed rhinoplasty on patients younger than that, so it all depends on your individual circumstances.
Teenage Rhinoplasty Process
What is the teenage rhinoplasty procedure like?
At Eos Rejuvenation, we follow a patient-first approach that guarantees unwavering support, dedication, and quality. It encompasses four phases designed to deliver a successful outcome: consultation, preparation, surgery, and recovery. This technique involves making a small external incision along the columella (column of skin between the nostrils) and a few internal incisions. Then, your surgeon will lift the skin to open your nasal cavity and begin making small, meticulous changes to your nasal structure. Once complete, your surgeon will close the incisions, and you will be moved to our comfortable recovery room until the anesthesia wears off. Learn more about each phase below.
Initial Consultation
Your initial consultation is the first step to a successful teenage rhinoplasty. During this time, Dr. Nima or Dr. Parsa will examine your nose, ask questions about your aesthetic and functional concerns, better understand your needs, review your medical history, and provide his professional rhinoplasty recommendation.
Preparation
After scheduling a surgical date, our team will stay in touch, providing you with preparation instructions, tips, and advice.
Rhinoplasty Surgery
On the day of your teenage rhinoplasty, Beverly Hills facial plastic surgeons Dr. Nima or Dr. Parsa will perform either an open or closed rhinoplasty. They will most likely recommend an open rhinoplasty, which provides better visibility and precision.

The Right Time for Change
Am I a candidate for teenage rhinoplasty?
Ideal candidates for teenage rhinoplasty typically:
- Have completed nasal growth (usually around 15-16 for girls, 16-17 for boys)
- Experience persistent self-consciousness about their nose appearance
- Have realistic expectations about the outcome
- Are in good overall health
- Have support from parents or guardians
You may not be a suitable candidate if:
- Your nose is still growing
- You're undergoing the procedure solely due to peer pressure
- You have unrealistic expectations about the results
- You have certain medical conditions that increase surgical risks
Expectations should include:
- Improved nasal appearance that complements your facial features
- Potential enhancement of nasal function if breathing issues are present
- A boost in self-confidence
- Understanding that final results may take up to a year to fully manifest
It's crucial to have a thorough consultation with a plastic surgeon specializing in rhinoplasty. They can assess your individual case, discuss your goals, and determine if you're a good candidate for the procedure at this time.
Remember, you should make the decision to undergo rhinoplasty with support from your parents and guidance from your surgeon, not because of external pressures or fleeting trends.
Long-Term Perspective
Teenage Rhinoplasty Recovery
Following your teenage rhinoplasty surgery, you can expect some swelling, minor bleeding, bruising, and tenderness. This is normal and should subside within the first week or two after your procedure. Swelling, however, may last several months. Your final results will continue to emerge as this resolves over time. Generally, final results are visible within one year after teenage rhinoplasty.
Natural Results
Teenage Rhinoplasty Results
Teenage rhinoplasty can address a variety of concerns:
- Improved nasal proportions in relation to other facial features
- Correction of structural issues affecting breathing
- Refinement of the nasal tip, bridge, or nostrils
- Enhanced overall facial harmony
- Boost in self-confidence and body image
Specific results vary depending on individual factors and the corrections needed. During your consultation, your surgeon will provide a personalized assessment of expected outcomes.
Remember, the goal of teenage rhinoplasty is to create a natural-looking nose that complements the patient's facial features, not to achieve perfection or mimic celebrity features. Realistic expectations are key to satisfaction with the results.
Teenage Rhinoplasty
Frequently Asked Questions
Teenage rhinoplasty is generally safe when performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon experienced in working with younger patients. However, as with any surgery, there are risks involved. These include infection, bleeding, and reactions to anesthesia. The surgeon will discuss all potential risks during the consultation. To minimize risks, it's crucial to choose a qualified surgeon and follow all pre-and post-operative instructions.
When performed after nasal growth is complete (typically around 15-16 for girls and 16-17 for boys), rhinoplasty should not affect facial growth. This is why surgeons usually recommend waiting until the mid to late teens before considering the procedure. During the consultation, your surgeon will assess your child's nasal maturity to ensure the timing is appropriate.
The cost varies depending on the complexity of the procedure, the surgeon's experience, and geographic location. On average, it can range from $5,000 to $15,000. This typically includes the surgeon's fees, anesthesia, and facility costs. It's important to note that most insurance plans don't cover cosmetic procedures but may cover rhinoplasty if it's performed to correct breathing issues.
In most cases, if the initial rhinoplasty is performed after nasal growth is complete and by an experienced surgeon, a second procedure isn't necessary. However, as the face continues to mature and age, some patients might choose to have minor revisions later in life. The need for revision is more common if the initial surgery is performed before growth is complete.
Preparing your teenager for rhinoplasty involves both physical and emotional aspects:
- Ensure they have realistic expectations about the results
- Discuss their motivations to confirm they're doing it for themselves, not due to peer pressure
- Help them maintain a healthy lifestyle before surgery
- Arrange for time off school and activities for recovery
- Prepare a comfortable recovery space at home
- Ensure they understand and are committed to following post-operative care instructions
The cost of teenage rhinoplasty varies depending on several factors, including your facial plastic surgeon’s experience level, practice location, and the extent of your treatment plan.
