How do you know when your nose has stopped growing?

Hannaharmstronggg
I'm currently 14 and want to have surgery to correct my nose which was injured. Apparently you have to wait until your nose has fully developed. But I get many different ages from many different doctors. Some say 13-14 others say 16-17 and some say 18 for a female! Haha. Anyway so how do you know that your nose has stopped growing and has fully developed. I really HATE it :(
