What are the rhinoplasty risks for a 70 year old?
Asked 2017-11-02
I'm 70 years old and in good health, with tight skin, so I've been told that I'm a good candidate by facial plastic surgeons that I've consulted with. I'd like a non-biased opinion regarding healing time, and aesthetic outcomes in 70 year olds.

Procedure(s)
Rhinoplasty has a healing time that varies depending on what kind of changes you want to make (nasal bump, vs nasal tip, etc.), but usually the healing time is 10-14 of swelling & bruising around the eyes and mid face; the aesthetic outcome has more to do with your tissue quality and what changes you desire. This can be more thoroughly explained during an in office consultation.
