Question:
My 15 year-old-daughter has been asking for a nose job. I, however, do not feel that it is appropriate for someone her age to have such a serious cosmetic procedure. What are the risks of a teen having this kind of surgery?
Answer:
Medically this is one of the safer things any person could undergo. At 15 it’s the psychological changes that may pose the greatest risk. You should talk with your daughter and try to understand her motivations. Your support will make a big difference if she goes ahead with the procedure.
