Question

I am only 14 years of age, but I hate my nose! I think it is to big!

What would be an appropriate age to start looking into getting it sorted?

Answer

For cosmetic rhinoplasty intervention, I tend to carry out the treatment after the age of 18.

This is primarily because the facial shape enters a slower period of change, and evaluating the reshaping of the nose in the context of the facial shape is very important.
