Question

Can you have a nose job when your still only in your teens?

Answer

I prefer to do nose reshaping surgery after the age of 18, since there are still considerable changes in the facial shape that occurred during the late teenage years.

The adjustment for the shape of the nose takes into consideration the global aesthetics of the face, and it is wise to make this judgement when the face has reached more stable contour.
