I am a 15-year-old male. I want to have Rhinoplasty performed and I want to know if it is safe and recommended for my age. My goal isn't to be more popular or well liked, I just want to be able to love my body and be a more confident person. In other words, I loathe my nose. It is big, ugly, and has been making me fearful my whole life. It has a large bump, and is just overall to big. Help!

A rhinoplasty procedure should not be affected by a bumpy car ride at home. I would suggest waiting at least 2 hours after completion of your surgery before getting in your car, and having a driver that goes home slowly. Best of luck.
