Question

I am 16 and have always been insecure about my nose as it is quite large, what is the youngest you would suggest getting rhinoplasty?

Answer

In my practice, I prefer to carry out cosmetic rhinoplasty surgery after the age of 18, when the facial shape enters a period of slower changes.

It is possible to meet in consultation earlier, and I would suggest accompanied by one of your parents, but I would not carry out the surgery until after you have had reached 18 years of age.
