Don't hate your nose....

Hi First of all, kids get teased at school for a variety of reasons and even if there are no reasons, mean kids can create reasons to tease you! Its a normal part of growing up and you cant let it affect you. You do not have a HUGE bump nor a HUGE tip. You have a small to medium bump and your tip is visible to you because of your thin skin. What you are calling deviated septum on both sides are the medial crura of your lower lateral cartilages and not your... more

Teenage nose unhappiness

It is normal for people to analyze and critique parts of their body including one's nose. During our adolescence there are many changes taking place.

Rhinoplasty will refine your nose.

Hi. Your nose can be improved but it does not look terrible. All young people feel insecure about some part of their body or face. By all means plan to have a rhinoplasty, but it is not an emergency.

Rhinoplasty for teenagers

It is important for teenagers to be fully mature physically prior to having rhinoplasty performed. Some teenagers are mature at varying ages. Once the face is fully mature, a rhinoplasty can be performed. In most females, this can be done at 14-15 years of age. As far as the teasing is concerned, I would advise to try to disregard this. Of course, this is easier said than done. Being a teenager is a difficult thing, as other teens can be mean and tease about many... more
