What is a Teenage Rhinoplasty?
A Teenage Rhinoplasty is a nose surgery for teens that can improve both appearance and breathing. Whether it’s smoothing a bump, refining the tip, or fixing a nasal injury, it’s all about creating balance and boosting confidence during an important stage of life.
Once the nose is fully developed, most teens are ready for rhinoplasty, around 15 or 16 years old for girls and 16 to 17 years old for boys. The goal is to achieve natural, age-appropriate results that fit their unique features and help them feel more comfortable in their own skin.
What Are the Benefits of a Teenage Rhinoplasty?
It can help with the shape of the nose, create better balance with the rest of the face, and help teens feel more confident about their appearance. Fixing a bump, reshaping the tip, or improving symmetry all contribute to a more natural, youthful look.
It can also improve breathing and correct injury damage, making it easier to breathe and more comfortable overall.
Who Are the Best Candidates For a Teenage Rhinoplasty?
The best candidates for Teenage Rhinoplasty are teens who are emotionally ready for the procedure and have realistic expectations about the outcome. Their noses should be fully developed, typically around 15-16 for girls and 16-17 for boys.
Teenagers who are bothered by the appearance of their noses or have breathing issues often make great candidates. Most importantly, the decision comes from the teen, not outside pressure. If you’re considering rhinoplasty, Dr. Raj Dedhia at Raj Dedhia MD Facial Plastic Surgery in San Francisco, CA, can help guide you through the process and determine if it’s the right step based on your unique goals and needs.
Teenage Rhinoplasty Consultation
What’s the first step?
The first step in a Teenage Rhinoplasty is scheduling a consultation with Dr. Raj Dedhia. During this meeting, you’ll discuss your goals, concerns, and expectations for the surgery. Dr. Dedhia will evaluate your nose and facial features to ensure your nose is fully developed and the procedure is right for you.
This is your chance to ask questions and get all the details about the process, recovery, and what to expect. If you decide to proceed, Dr. Dedhia will guide you through the next steps, ensuring everything is tailored to your needs and goals.
What to Expect on the Day of Teenage Rhinoplasty Surgery
On the day of your Teenage Rhinoplasty surgery, Dr. Raj Dedhia will carefully reshape your nose to achieve the results you’ve discussed together. The procedure is done under general anesthesia so that you won’t feel anything during the surgery.
Dr. Dedhia will make small, discreet incisions to adjust the structure of your nose—whether smoothing a bump, reshaping the tip, or refining the nostrils. The goal is to create a personalized, balanced look that enhances your overall facial features.
Teenage Rhinoplasty Recovery
Right after surgery, you’ll have some swelling, bruising, and possibly a little discomfort, but these will gradually fade over the first few days.
You’ll likely have a splint on your nose for about a week, which helps protect the structure while it heals. During this time, it’s best to rest and avoid strenuous activity. Most teens are able to return to school after about a week, but it’s important to avoid heavy exercise or sports for a few weeks to ensure everything heals properly.
Swelling can last several weeks, and it can take a few months for your nose to settle into its new shape fully.
