Can I Have a Nose Job at 14 or 15 if It Effects My Mental Health?

The typical age that we do a scheduled Rhinoplasty is at the age of 16. At this age the nose has fully matured. In certain circumstances we do operate on a younger patient  depending on their maturation. A consultation appointment and direct examination will provide for a better diagnosis and prognosis. If you are seeing a psychologist it would be important to have an open discussion regarding your desire for Rhinoplasty and to share this with your surgeon. It is important when you are having cosmetic surgery it is for the proper reasons and that you have a realistic expectation. Cosmetic surgery and Rhinoplasty surgery will help increase your self esteem however there may be other issues that might need to be addressed. Make sure your surgeon has a full understanding of your expectations, what problems you are having psychologically so a good surgical plan and proper follow up may be made to attain good over all health both mental and physical. Best regards!
