Is 13 too young for a nose job.

Question:

I saw on TV that a 13 year old girl had a nose job and I was completely shocked. I thought that this age was way too young, am I correct?

Answer:

Yes, I agree with you, 13 years of age is too young. I do rhinoplasty on girls at 15 years of age and boys at 16 years of age. I would not operate on adolescents younger then this as not enough facial growth has occurred prior to these ages.
