Candidates for rhinoplasty

At the Munoz-Carinanos Institute, we are specialists in rhinoplasty operations in Seville. This cosmetic surgery procedure is also known as nose reshaping surgery.

But who can undergo rhinoplasty?

The main candidates for rhinoplasty are patients who have aesthetic problems with their nose. These are the majority of cases: people who are not satisfied with the appearance of their nose and wish to improve the proportions of their facial features.

But those who suffer from health problems related to the airways also undergo rhinoplasty.

Some of these two types of problems may include:

• A nose that is too small or too large in relation to the rest of the face.
• Deviated nasal bridge.
• Crooked or off-centre nose.
• Having an unattractive nose shape. This may be in the bridge, the tip, or if the nose is too wide.
• Having suffered a nasal fracture.
• Blocked airways.
• Breathing problems due to irregularities in the internal structure of the nose.

An optimal candidate for rhinoplasty is someone who enjoys good general health. They should also be able to understand the risks of the procedure. And above all, they should have realistic expectations regarding the results of the surgery.

Therefore, those who are going to undergo rhinoplasty should have a stable psychological situation. Furthermore, their level of maturity should be sufficient to face a surgical process and its consequences.

From what age is rhinoplasty recommended?

A patient who is going to undergo nose surgery should have fully developed facial structures. Therefore, it is recommended to wait until age 15 for women and age 17 for men.

On the other hand, there is no upper age limit for rhinoplasty. However, to avoid risks, good physical health is recommended. And to achieve the best results, good skin elasticity is desirable.
