Nasal Surgery in the Younger Patient

Dirk Jan Menger et al. Facial Plast Surg Clin North Am. 2024 Nov.

Abstract

Nasal surgery can be carried out safely in the younger patient. In cases of trauma, it is recommended that corrective surgery be carried out in a short time frame before scar contracture, aberrant remodeling, and malunion of structures occurs. In the less common situation of performing cosmetic surgery on the younger patient there are several principles and guidelines to be considered.
