Allure: The Rise of the Over Forty Rhinoplasty
Thank you and for a beautifully researched and thoughtful feature on why more patients are seeking rhinoplasty in their forties and beyond. I was grateful to share my perspective on this meaningful shift.
As I noted in the article, many adults have simply “put it off for years,” and the decision to pursue refinement later in life often comes from a place of clarity and confidence. Modern rhinoplasty focuses on structure, support, and balance. For many, the most significant concern is avoiding an overdone look.
The beauty of contemporary technique is the ability to maintain “structural support, especially to reinforce weakened areas of cartilage,” and to approach refinement in a way that preserves identity and protects function. One of the greatest risks of any nose job is “looking like you have had one,” and that is exactly what thoughtful, conservative planning seeks to avoid.
Thank you to Allure and Jolene for spotlighting this evolution in care and for allowing me to help demystify the process for patients exploring rhinoplasty at this stage of life.
