A rhinoplasty is particularly successful if there is a visible abnormality in the shape of the ridge or tip and/or the septum. Adjusting a well-proportioned nose is a much more difficult task. The nose must be fully grown, which is why there is a minimum age of 18 for these procedures. However, in some cases, an exception to that rule is possible. What matters most is the patient's biological age and the complete growth of the septum. We also look at the individual's wishes and expectations and how they can be translated into a treatment plan.
