17 year-old patient before and 7 weeks after rhinoplasty Ages 14-17 can be a suitable age for rhinoplasty depending on the maturity of the patient and the consent of the parents. This lovely 17 year-old patient is 7 weeks out from her procedure. She has always been self-conscious about her prominent dorsal hump and the down pointed tip of her nose. She wanted a natural rhinoplasty which would bring a greater harmony to her face and create a stunning profile. After her rhinoplasty procedure, the bridge and the tip now are better balanced and her eyes and face appear softer. The down pointed tip has relaxed upwards. She still looks exactly like herself!
