My 17 year old daughter hates her nose and has been begging me for a nose job.
Submitted by Anonymous on Thu, 07/22/2010 - 16:40
Question:

My 17 year old daughter hates her nose and has been begging me for a nose job. Is she too young to undergo this type of procedure?

Answer:

Most rhinoplasty surgeons prefer to wait until an individual has completed his or her growth spurt. This means age 15 or 16 for girls, and a little later for boys. Of course, this is a generalization: it is very important to consider the individual's emotional and social maturity level and to make sure that he/she really wants a rhinoplasty.
