Later: The human skull will achieve 90% of its adult size by age 9-10 but continue to enlarge until adulthood.Open procedures like nasal surgery generally have their best chance at a good outcome the first time their done, because scar tissue is not as easy to work with.You should consult with an ENT/cosmetic surgeon on timing. Most would want to see the kid reach an age when the work would be the final
