For a 12 year old child with a very low nose bridge, is it possible to inject some sort of filler to raise the nose height until after age 16, by which time, presumably, his growth would have more or less stablized, and a Rhinoplasty surgery can then be an option? This way, change in his nose shape doesn't happen dramatically overnight plus he doesn't have to wait 6 long years to feel better about his nose. Please advise.

Answer: DO NOT DO THIS ON A CHILD'S NOSE 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 based on what you are describing.

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

Answer: Nonsurgical nosejob for a child 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.
