Many teens are so unhappy with their appearance that they decide the only way to feel better about themselves is with plastic surgery, such as rhinoplasty. This can be a distressing revelation as a parent, but it’s important to approach the situation calmly. Rhinoplasty in teenagers is not unusual, but it’s not right for every teenager. If your family is interested in moving forward or simply wants more information from an expert, the first step is to discuss your teen’s case with an ethical and knowledgeable plastic surgeon. A reputable surgeon will be able to advise you and your teen, providing you the information you need to help you make the right decision for your family. A skilled facial plastic surgeon should be able to assess the overall facial growth and tell you whether more growth and development is expected before the nose reaches full maturity.
