Nose Surgery and Teenagers/Adolescents

Dissimilar to ear surgery, where the procedure can be performed on patients as young as four years of age, nose surgery bears a few age considerations. For starters, many plastic surgeons prefer to operate on adolescents who have endured their growth spurt. From teenager-to-teenager, the conclusion of birth spurts varies but tends to affect kids from 14 – 15.
