- drjonathansykes.com/ -- The real question regarding the age at which you can get a nose job should really be how early in life can you get one because you certainly can get one as late in life as you want. You can be 70, 80, or more, as long as you can take general anesthesia.

So, let’s talk about how young you can be to get a nose job. There are two factors that greatly affect that decision. One is emotional maturity and the other is physical maturity. Emotional maturity is whether or not the patient can withstand the ramifications of surgery and cooperate with me on their after care. I often look to the parents of younger patients to give me insight into that.
As for physical maturity, I don’t want to perform surgery on a patient whose face is going to change a lot, specifically with regards to the continued growth of their noses. Their nose could still be growing which would impact the surgery down the road.
The reality is that our nose is really small when we’re young in comparison to the size of an adult nose, but if you look at the ears of a child, they’re already 80% to 90% the size of an adult ear by the time they’re 5 years sold. When we go through puberty, our nose changes in size. It slims down and gets longer. Sometimes we develop a bump that could be caused by trauma or genetics. Most times our noses look like the nose of one of our parents or a combination of both parents’s noses.
Before I would agree to perform surgery on someone, I want to know that they have already gone through puberty a few years earlier. As a general rule, male skeletons mature later than female skeletons. If the patient is male and they’re body is full size or close to it, usually between 15 and 17 years old, they are probably physically mature enough for a nose job. On the other hand, most women are physically mature earlier, typically by about 13 or 14 years old, or about two years post first menstruation. Next we have to factor in emotional maturity. Thirteen year old girls and 15 year old boys are not that mature emotionally.
In my practice, I will commonly perform surgery on 16 to 18 year old males, but I don’t do that many surgeries on 13 year olds unless they’ve got a major physical problem, such as trauma to their nose that is causing a major obstruction. We also look at nose size and/or a deformity that may cause the child to be ridiculed in school. In those cases, I defer to the parents to decide whether or not to proceed with surgery..
One interesting fact is that I find that my 16 or 17 year old male patients tend to more commonly faint when getting their splints or sutures removed. They think they’re tough, but the minute we remove the split or suture they get lightheaded and/or faint about 90% of the time.
What age do you recommend getting a nose job?
I recommend a nose job for those females ages 14 to 16 years old, and for males between the ages of 16 and 18, preferably at the older end of the scale. I love performing rhinoplasties. They are one of my passions. As a sculpting part of my practice, I love crafting the perfect nose for my patients. Come to see me in my office.

I’m 12 turning 13 this July and I’m in need of a nose job, the only thing I want for my birthday is one. All I get called is a witch because of my nose.
I'm the same age as you and I also need a nose job
happy late birthday
Did u get a nose job??!
I’m 14 and my birthday is July 15th I wanna ask my mom to get a nose job, because of how insecure I’am. I take a photo every chance I get just to see how I look, and the thing is I was never insecure about my face before other people started pointing things out. I just started becoming insecure about my nose just LAST year, because someone yelled across the classroom I look like squid ward from spongebob when I took my mask off, and no one defended me. A 2nd insecurity added along with my forehead, but I can cover that with just bangs. I just wish people shut there mouth and keep their nasty opinions to themselves.
i feel u ml but happy birthdayyy💗💗
I love listening to you ❤ your personality is wonderful

I’m 15 and if you look at my pfp I look decent from the front but my side profile kills me because of how big my nose is. Has anyone experienced a big nose at a young age and then growing into it as in when you grow it becomes proportionate?
Same here bro my nose looks fine from front but seeing my side look it upsets me sm
I wish I got one in my teens all I needed was a nasal reduction I got bullied for my nose by friends and family and I feel like there’s no point now considering everyone already knows how my real nose looks by now ..
he's so sweet :0

!
I’m 15 I wanna get one so baddd
I’m about to get a nose job and unlock my hunter eyes.
Hello! I’m 14 years old and I have done my nose job, the problem is that I still think my nose is quite big is there any way I can do a rhinoplasty again and at what age can I do it again?
it’s really recommended you don’t
nose jobs after nose jobs make your nose more vunerable to breakage
your nose takes one year to become ''perfect'' after surgery so wait
How does it look now???
i am 15 and got one recently. my doctor said girls are allowed to do nose job from 14
I got one 2 months before turning 15 and was told by my surgeon that it was good to start at the end of puberty. So 15-16 depending on the person
and how is your nose now??@@K1ttyinlovewithme
I m 17 can i get a nose job done????
which respectable surgeon would ever give a 15 year old a nose job? only in exceptions.. emotional maturity is no where reached at that point
@gabyy lol
Its legally allowed at 16
I’m sorry it be commenting here but your age doesn’t define anything I’m 15 and getting a nose job in February 2023 because I’m not comfortable with this nose
