I want a nose job. If I go by myself and have the money, would they do the nose job without parental consent?

Hello.  I understand your interest and motivation to have your nose reshaped.  However, you still need to be at least 18 in order to legally consent for elective surgical procedures. Although the recovery from rhinoplasty is not bad, it still requires careful and dedicated wound care, which is immensely helped with a good support system at home.  You'll likely have cast, splints, and sutures post and, depending on what's done, you may also get some bruising.  Parents, family members can play an important role in the best recovery for you, which is important to achieve a great outcome. I recommend you talk with your parents.  You may be surprised by their support.  Good luck.

No. A surgeon will not perform rhinoplasty or any other procedure on a minor without parental consent. Your two options are to wait a couple of years until your 18 years old or begin the discussion with your parents. Regardless, you will need their support before and after surgery as the healing process can take weeks to months and that support is highly beneficial. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon
