Good candidates for rhinoplasty in Vancouver, BC share a few basic traits.
Facial growth should be complete, generally around age 16 for girls and 17 to 18 for boys, and there is no upper age limit as long as you are healthy.
You should be a non smoker or willing to stop several weeks before and after surgery, since nicotine and vaping restrict blood flow and slow healing.
Stable general health matters, so uncontrolled diabetes, bleeding disorders, sleep apnea, or certain medications need review first. Just as important is mindset: specific goals, realistic expectations, and a concern that comes from you rather than a partner or a filtered selfie.
Patients with signs of body dysmorphic disorder are usually better served by other care first. Thick skin, weak cartilage, or a previously operated nose do not disqualify you, but they change what is achievable and are discussed openly at consultation.
