April,2013 while playing basketball i got elbowed in the nose . But that time i didn't even know that my nose was broken amd crooked until my mom saw it. well as a 14 year old girl now(almost a year later) i am getting self conscious and feeling a bit unconfident about myself. So when can i go under a surgery, my mom is a doctor and said i might go under a surger at the age of 18, but i am having my doubts on it. So when is the perfect time to go under a surgery?how much will it cost?

Answer: You can consider rhinoplasty once you’re done growing Rhinoplasty is one of the only cosmetic surgery procedures that’s performed in teenagers. The reason for this is because cosmetic nose surgery can be scheduled once your nose has reached its mature growth, which can happen around age 15 – 16 in girls, and 17 – 18 for boys. At 14, your face is still going to change quite a bit over the next few years, so waiting a bit longer is a good idea for right now. There’s no harm in consulting with a rhinoplasty specialist to see if he or she has more specific recommendations based on a physical evaluation.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello Brokennose924, Thank you for the question. I am sorry to hear about your injury. Your mother raises a valid point in that waiting would possibly serve you better. The fact is that you are still growing and the shape of your nose will continue to change and for most females that can vary anywhere from 15-21 years of age. I think consulting with a facial plastic surgeon once you feel that you have gone threw your "growth spurt" would be reasonable. Cost is dependent on the surgeon and extent of work that needs to be done on the nose.Best of luck, DrS
