Patient Story: This patient is a teenage who had breathing difficulty, a tilted nose, and a dorsal hump. She underwent surgery to correct these issues and has been pleased with her results. Her case demonstrates the fact that rhinoplasty can be performed as early as age 12 in women and 13 in boys so long as they are sufficiently emotionally and physically mature. While, this is the minimum age many patients and parents wait until the mid-teen years to undergo these types of procedures.
