Rhinoplasty After 40: Why More Montréal Patients Choose Nose Surgery Later in Life
Rhinoplasty is often associated with younger patients, but in Montréal, a new demographic is driving the trend: individuals aged 40–60. Aging changes the nose more than many people realize, and improving its shape later in life can dramatically rejuvenate the overall face.
How the Nose Changes with Age
After age 40, the nose undergoes several transformations:
- Tip droops as cartilage weakens
- Bridge may appear more prominent
- Nasal tip rotation decreases
- Collagen loss affects support
- Deepening nasolabial angle
These changes can make the face look older, tired, or heavier.
Rhinoplasty can restore balance, refine proportions, and soften the aging effect.
Why Montréal Patients Over 40 Choose Rhinoplasty
1. Achieving facial harmony during aging
A refined nose enhances facial balance as volume shifts elsewhere.
2. Addressing functional breathing concerns
Patients commonly develop:
- Deviated septum symptoms
- Valve collapse
- Breathing obstruction
3. Enhancing confidence at midlife
Life transitions—new relationships, career changes, self-growth—motivate patients to refresh their appearance.
4. Combining procedures
Many patients combine rhinoplasty with blepharoplasty or facelift for global harmony.
