What are medical reasons to get a nose job?

What is the appropriate age to get a nose job?

  • Come October, I am going to be seventeen years old and come winter or fall, I want to get a nose job. I've always been very insecure about my nose, despite the fact that many people tell me it's "perfect." Of course, I get the occasional asshole who tells me my nose is big, and that really takes its toll on me. All I see is a big honker that droops at the tip when I smile. It's only going to get worse with age. My mom is okay with me getting a nose job as she also sees that it is big and droops when I smile. I want to get it done and I don't want to wait, but I feel like it's weird to say that I had a nose job so young. Do many girls my age get a nose job? What is the normal age? I know I probably should wait, but I am impatient. Here are some pictures of my nose: http://i39.tinypic.com/30sv7kz.png http://i43.tinypic.com/wskbow.png Thanks. PS - no rude comments. if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all.

  • Answer:

    At least 18. While you may be done growing in many areas of your body, your face goes through subtle changes throughout your life. While your nose will never magically change shape on its own, it's very likely that you'll grow into the way that it looks. That said, 18 is the earliest most plastic surgeons would even consider doing such an extreme procedure. Most people have this done when they are in their late 20s or early 30s. Also, keep in mind it will take a full two months before all the swelling is down from the procedure.

wow, Um.. I WAS going to answer your question, but then I looked at your pictures. haha, your nose IS perfect! What in the world are you talking about? You dont need a nose job! Trust me, you dont. I think getting one would change it in a bad way.

I sympathize! When I was your age (I'm 38 now) I hated my nose too, and would've killede to have it lessened, but everybody told me (and I didn't believe them) that it was just an age-thing. I found that ridiculous. But, sure enough, once I got out in college and such, it stopped mattering. I've still got the same nose, but (and I thought it was impossible!) I like it now, it fits my face. Look into ways to lesen it's appearance. I learned early on that applying color on the sides makes it look smaller, because it shadows the sides and makes them less visible.

probably 18. before that it looks too weird

Why do you want to mutilate yourself? This will just start you down the path of botox, face lifts, and all the other stupid vanity treatments people waste their time and money on. Your nose is fine as it is. If you are insecure about it, you have a deeper self esteem issue and chopping your nose off will not fix this.

Well if your mom is on board you should call around to different plastic surgeons and ask. I would think 18 on your own but at 17 you may be able to just use parental consent. I'm not positive so call! Your nose really does look perfect though!

In the grand scheme of life, it doesn't matter that your nose isn't as perfect as you'd like it to be. Everyone has insecurities.

well, just seeing your nose, w/o the context of your face is kind of weird, but it does not appear to be too large (but again, relative to your face, which we cannot see, it's hard to say). My cousin got a nose job at 18- it was her HS grad present, so doctors will do it.
