Abstract:
There is a reluctance amongst plastic surgeons to carry out a rhinoplasty in older patients. It is stated that many of these patients tend to be dissatisfied with their results. The noses of older people are characterized by a loss of skin elasticity often combined with a tendency for the nostrils to collapse. An analysis is made of the patients under our care relating to motives for surgery, indications, techniques, and the results are illustrated.
