My 15 year old daughter would like a nose job, is she old enough?

Rhinoplasty can be performed as early as age 15 in females and age 17 in males.
This should be done in the hands of a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Otolaryngologist
with expertise in Rhinoplasty.

Thanks for the question. There's no age limit for rhinoplasty procedure. However, patients must be over 18 years of age.

The minimum age at which it would be appropriate to operate on an individual for rhinoplasty surgery would depend upon a variety of factors.  The two most important of these would be their physical maturity and the second would be their psychological maturity.  A 15 year old female should be physically matured.  Whether they are mentally prepared for changes to their face and whether they are mature enough to make that decision is another issue.  I will  also operate on younger individuals with noses that are particularly stigmatic.  If the individual is being bullied and the individual will truly benefit from having a very large or deformed nose corrected, I will also perform rhinoplasty in that individual as those formative years can have an impact on future self esteem.
