It has already been established that I am too young for Rhinoplasty and that I should wait. Although it is difficult, I probably will wait. I am going to see a surgeon soon, and I just want to know from others, what's the worst case scenario being too young for plastic surgery? What are some high, moderate, low risks? What especially makes it risky that I'm too young for the procedure? Thanks.
It is just not advisable to find a surgeon that will operate on your nose if you are less than 16 years of age. It is just not a good idea. Both cartilage and bone is not completely grown, and the rhinoplasty may arrest the development of the cartilage and bone of the nose. Please wait until age 16.
In my experience, young rhinoplasty patients are frequently difficult to satisfy because they tend to be highly perfectionistic and highly self-critical. That is what makes them want the surgery in the first place, but also what makes them find faults in even a well-done procedure. The longer you wait, and the more mature you are, and the more you could live with it or without it, the better you will like your result.
