title: The aging nose.
abstract: Mature adult rhinoplasty requires more sophisticated planning and flawless execution in order to achieve an optimal result. The improvement not only engenders a more pleasing feature, it also provides approximately 5 years' rejuvenation to the face. These patients possess thin skin, weak support structures, and vulnerable nasal function, rendering the rhinoplasty more enigmatic. The medical and emotional issues should be resolved prior to surgery.
