A: Injectable fillers not recommended for non-surgical nose job

By William Portuese, MD - Seattle Facial Plastic Surgeon

There have been multiple disastrous complications associated with injectable fillers placed in the nose and is not advisable to have fillers injected into the nose at this time. It would be best to have a formal rhinoplasty performed when your son is the appropriate age of 16 years.

A: Rhinoplasty in 12 Year Old

By Richard W. Fleming, MD - Beverly Hills Facial Plastic Surgeon

I have occasionally done nasal surgery on young boys with inherited or traumatic deformities with severe breathing obstruction. But no, not for cosmetic reasons. If I saw this child, I would want to know if the bridge bothered the patient or the parents. It is best to wait until he is mature enough to make his... more

A: Is it ok to do a non-surgical nose job on a child?

By Sirish Maddali, MD - Bay Area Plastic Surgeon

No it is not. Children at the age of 12 are still growing and are going to go through puberty, where the growth spurt will change the shape and size of their nose. It is not advisable to try and alter the nose during that time... even with a non-surgical procedure. You should wait until after puberty to... more

A: Not a good choice

By Jeffrey Zwiren, MD - Atlanta Plastic Surgeon

I would agree that the injection of a filler in a 12 year old would not be a wise choice. Your child face and nose will change over the next few years. Once she is mature then she could be evaluated for a possible procedure

A: Non-surgical nose job

By Steven Wallach, MD - Manhattan Plastic Surgeon

I would leave a 12 year old alone. I would not recommend fillers to raise the dorsum in a child. Besides, the child's nose will grow during puberty.

A: Non Surgical Rhinoplasty

By Farbod Esmailian, MD - Orange County Plastic Surgeon

No way leave the kid alone. I would not do any cosmetic procedure on a 12 year old, especially injectables. The child needs to be evaluated by a craniofacial surgeon like the other plastic surgeon mentioned. He may have some underlying pathology that you may not know about.

A: Rabbit, are you kidding?

By Kenneth R. Francis, MD - Manhattan Plastic Surgeon

If the child's nasal deformity is so severe that it is causing him emotional distress you should have him evaluated by a craniofacial surgeon. There may be a complex of facial bone deformities and bite concerns to be addressed. At worst (or best), he will be told that he is a normally developing... more

A: DO NOT DO THIS ON A CHILD'S NOSE

By Shahram Salemy, MD - Seattle Plastic Surgeon

This is a very bad idea for several reasons, the most obvious of which is that you are proposing an elective, cosmetic procedure on a person too young to give informed consent. Rhinoplasties, surgical or not, are performed for RECONSTRUCTIVE surgery in children this age, but this is not the case... more

A: Hold off on Non-surgical Rhinoplasty till after puberty.

By Eric M. Joseph, MD - West Orange Facial Plastic Surgeon

There are no guidelines regarding a minimum age requirement for using Injectable Fillers in your child's nose. The youngest child I've treated to date is a 16 year old, and his pictures are attached. Feel free to email / post your child's photo and I'll be happy to give you my thoughts. I hope this helps, and... more

A: Nonsurgical nosejob for a child

By Tanveer Janjua, MD - Bedminster Facial Plastic Surgeon

No, not a good idea. The injection of any material can cause scarring. It can hamper the normal growth and/or make the rhinoplasty more difficult. If you were to still proceed I would certainly stick with hyaluronic acid injections only, i.e., Juvederm and Restylane. The bigger concern I have is that why the... more
