Teen rhinoplasty is most often performed under general anesthesia. It should not be performed until the features of the patient are fully mature — about 15 in the case of girls and 17 in the case of boys. If the operation is confined to the nasal tip and does not involve the still-growing bones, it may be possible to perform an operation on a patient a year or so younger, but only an expert in teen rhinoplasty can determine if this is the case. Rhinoplasty in Charlotte, NC is not a decision that should be entered into lightly. There should be enough thorough discussions, with the surgeon involved, to allow the teenager and his or her parents to be certain that this decision reflects a deeply held personal need, not a sudden whim. And there are risks associated with teen rhinoplasty as with nose surgery on adults. The numbness and swelling associated with rhinoplasty recovery are usually temporary, but in some cases nerve damage causes more permanent numbness. Some of the blood vessels on the skin of the nose may burst, and there may be scarring at the base of the nose in cases of open rhinoplasty. Dr. Sean Freeman is the best rhinoplasty surgeon in Charlotte today. He has been certified by two different boards of surgery, the American Board of Otolaryngology (head and neck surgery) and the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Since 1988 he has concentrated on his specialty — facial plastic surgery, including nose jobs. Many of his patients have already gotten nose jobs from other surgeons and are seeking revision rhinoplasty to improve them.
