How old should a male be to get his first rhinoplasty done? How much does it cost?

From research I've done, unless there is a serious problem being caused by the nose, such as not being able to breathe properly, males should be at least 16. It seems to range from about $2,500 to $5,000, but varies from doctor to doctor and the exact procedure. I hope this helps.

I am only posting now because I responded to a message above and I fell that this is more or less a similar topic. Guys should wait unil they are 18 or 19 minimum. Women mature earlier and 16 is a suitable age but some doctors will advise to wait until later.

Rhinoplasty is a very complex plastic surgery procedure. If your results go unexpectedly wrong, your life could be in turmoil.
