Hi. I came across a doctor who simply did not want to do surgery on me because I'm 17 (born February). He told me that I should come back December because my nose might get deformed after the nose job. What I want to know is, is this true? And what are the chances of this happening? My other doctors seemed fairly sure that my face has stopped developing.. Note: I'm having the hump reduced, tip lifted, and the overall nose narrowed.
