Will my Nose Keep Growing? I Am 17. (photo)

I think it is safe to operate your nose at your age. Consider consulting with a surgeon that has experience with rhinoplasty.

Thanks for the question and photos. I wrote an article about this subject (link below). For girls, the usual rule of thumb is 2 years after the onset of menses (the start of your menstrual periods). In general, this means around age 16, though for some, it is possible to consider the surgery at even age 14 or 15. Typically teenage boys should wait until around 17 or 18, as the face continues to change and mature a bit later for boys, as they go through their growth spurts. Every situation is different, so these are just general guidelines. Obviously, it's also important to consider emotional maturity as well.  

By age 17, I would suspect that it's unlikely that your nose will change to any great extent. The most important bit of advice I can give you is to select a surgeon who truly specializes in rhinoplasty and does a large volume of noses, as this is a very delicate and precise operation which requires specific training and experience.
