How Old Do I Have to Be to Get Rhinoplasty Without Parental Consent?

Typically 18 is the age at which you are able to decide on elective surgical procedures without the need for parental consent.  However if your parents are not supportive of your decision you should consider the reason why.

It would likely be to your advantage to have the approval of your parents before undergoing Rhinoplasty Surgery. In some cases, lack of family support may lead to decreased patient satisfaction following Rhinoplasty Surgery. In some cases where a parent is vehemently opposed to surgery, I may become uncomfortable performing the procedure, even if the patient is 18.

Hope this is helpful.

Depending on the state you live in either 18 to 21 years of age. Best to discuss with your parent in a joint consult with a boarded doctor.
