The best candidates for rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence, but it
won't necessarily change your looks to match your ideal, or cause other
people to treat you differently. Before you decide to have surgery, think
carefully about your expectations and discuss them with your surgeon.
The best candidates for rhinoplasty are people who are looking for improvement,
not perfection, in the way they look. If you're physically healthy, psychologically
stable, and realistic in your expectations, you may be a good candidate.

Before surgery, these rhinoplasty
patients have large, slightly hanging
noses, with a hump and an enlarged tip.
Rhinoplasty can be performed to meet aesthetic goals or for reconstructive purposes-to correct birth defects or breathing problems.
Age may also be a consideration. Many surgeons prefer not to operate on
teenagers until after they've completed their growth spurt-around 14 or

social and emotional adjustment, too, and to make sure it's what they, and
not their parents, really want.
