I : I would suggest to get it done before age 5yrs.

Nasal surgery: The best advice is to see a physician trained in craniofacial surgery.

Nose surgery: It depends on the deformity. It is possible that surgery could be done as young as three years old but we would want to make sure that the growth plate is not affected.

Way too young!: Let your child's nose develop and don't worry. Things will change dramatically during development.

Rhinoplasty/child: If your child has a craniofacial abnormality affecting the nose, he should be seen by a board certified facial plastic surgeon who specializes in nasal reconstruction for pediatric cases.
