I'm a 14 year old girl. I got my first period when I was 11, I'm 5'5 and my feet are size 8 1/2 and haven't grown in a while. I have a bump on my nose that hurts to touch and it feels sore like I just hit it on something. My nose also sticks out far and it's bulbous. I left my school recently because everyone called me ugly duck (nose). I know my face is mature cause everyone says I look 15-23. I asked a question before but this one is more detailed!
Answer: Emotional maturity for rhinoplasty In most cases, rhinoplasty should be delayed until the facial skeleton has matured. This is typically in the mid to late teens. For girls, cosmetic rhinoplasty should be delayed until at least 14-16 years old. When rhinoplasty is performed after this stage, it is unlikely that the changes from surgery will detrimentally effect facial skeleton development.What is of equal importance to the physical maturity of the face is the emotional maturity of the patient. When considering cosmetic surgery, it is important to do it for the right motivations-doing it for yourself to look good and feel more confident about your appearance. Additionally, it is important to have realistic expectations about the type of result that can be achieved following rhinoplasty surgery; an improvement in the appearance of the nose, improved balance and harmony between the nose and your facial features, and a timeless result-a result that will look good both right now and in the future.It appears that there are some things with your nose that could be improved and you would benefit from seeing a board certified plastic surgeon to see what options there are for you. It is quite unfortunate that you left your school because people were teasing you. I hope you have found a better school where you can attend and enjoy yourself - don't allow anyone to deprive you of your opportunity to learn and get an education. I hope you have someone around you that you can talk to if this continues to happen.

Answer: Teenage rhinoplasty I agree you would benefit significantly from a more elegant nose. If you can get clearance from your family doctor or pediatrician -that you have stopped growing then you would be a candidate for rhinoplasty at this age. Pus, parental consent is required. Otherwise, waiting until you are 16 y.o. would be advised.
