Risks of rhinoplasty in patients over 65 years old?
Question asked: - 03. 11. 2024
I am 65 years old and in generally good health, with tight skin, so the facial plastic surgeons I consulted with said I was a good candidate for surgery. I would like an unbiased opinion on healing time and aesthetic results in patients my age. Also, I am wondering if there are any specific risks or challenges associated with rhinoplasty at this age?

Positive aesthetic results of rhinoplasty can be achieved even in patients at the age of 65, provided that the goals are realistic and that the changes that have occurred over the years are taken into account . It is important to consider whether you have wanted a change in your nose for a long time, or whether it is something that has changed as you have aged.
As we age, tissues in the body, including the tissues of the nose, lose firmness, šthis can cause the nose to appear larger or droopier, especially at the tip. Also, some people develop hypertrophy of the sebaceous glands, š this can contribute to an increase in the size of the nose.
Although older patients may have specific physiological changes, the recovery process after surgery should not usually be significantly different from that of younger patients, provided that all are in good health parameters in good condition. If the goals are set realistically, the aesthetic results can be very satisfying.

I broke my nose as a child, which is now crooked and makes it difficult for me to breathe on the right side. I am 25 years old and I am thinking about surgery. Is the surgery painful? Can you tell me more about the postoperative course and how long I will have to stay in the hospital?
