Popis:	Background: age-related changes of the face have been an area of intense interest and the focus of considerable researches. The facial skeleton and overlying soft tissue undergo a gradual transformation throughout the aging process and there are several consistent age-associated changes of the nose. Aim of the Work: this study aimed to evaluate the age related cellular and architectural changes of nasal tip support mechanisms, in correlation to its anthropometric measurements. Patients and Methods: this prospective study was conducted in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Histology Departments, Ain-Shams University Hospitals, Cairo, Egypt. Forty-five patients were included in this study. They had undergone aesthetic rhinoplasty operations, 10 males (25%) and 30 females (75%) with mean age 35.42±15.15 years and age range 19–60 years. Results: LLC is the most nasal tip support mechanism affected by aging as every 1 year increase in age; correspond to weakness in LLC by percent -1.077followed by ULC, SC, SCA, IDA, ICA, NLA, and projection respectively (P value
