Teen Nose Job: Natural Results for Increased Confidence

Teens may require or wish for a rhinoplasty in order to remove a bump or hump, reshape the tip, decrease the size of the nostrils or straighten the nose. Making the right decision for your teen’s future can be tough, but when it comes to procedures that could affect their life long-term, why not entrust them in the hands of the best? Dr. Rizk is highly experienced and known for delivering excellent results! Also commonly known as a nose job, rhinoplasty can make a drastic improvement to a teenager’s confidence by correcting or altering the nose to better fit the facial profile, or by improving the function of the nose. While nose surgery cannot completely transform a teen’s life, it can make a world of difference to a teenager who may be struggling with how their nose looks and is ready to make a permanent commitment to altering their appearance.

What Is a Teen Rhinoplasty?

Dr. Rizk undertakes rhinoplasty for teenagers¹ to address a variety of issues. Just like a typical rhinoplasty for adults, he can make the nose bigger, smaller, or more in proportion with the rest of the face. Dr. Rizk can also repair structural problems to improve nasal functions, such as breathing.

If necessary, Dr. Rizk may request that a teen patient meets with a psychologist or psychiatrist prior to surgery. This is to ensure the patient is comfortable with their decision, as well as mature enough and emotionally equipped to handle the process of surgery and recovery.

Dr. Rizk will conduct his own evaluation, and if he feels that the patient has been unduly influenced by parents, peers, or anyone else, he will not move forward with surgery.
Ultimately the final decision to have plastic surgery can only be made by the patient.

How Much Does a Teen Rhinoplasty Cost in NYC?

Why Choose Dr. Rizk for a Teenage Rhinoplasty?

Dr. Rizk is a highly certified facial plastic surgeon, often quoted as the best in New York City.

Who Is a Candidate for Teenage Rhinoplasty?

The primary factor that distinguishes teen rhinoplasty from adult rhinoplasty is that the nose of the teenage patient must be fully developed in order to be an appropriate candidate for a nose job. There is no specific age for this, however, Dr. Rizk will not perform nose surgery on teenage girls² until they are about 15 or 16 years of age, and on boys until about 17 or 18 years of age, due to their slower development. A key detail, whether male or female, is that the feet must not have changed in size for 12 months.

In any case, all patients under the age of 18 are required to have permission from a parent or guardian before moving forward with plastic surgery³.

In the end, there is nothing wrong with waiting to have the procedure. So, if you have any doubts, the recommendation is that you wait.

What to Expect During Teen Rhinoplasty Recovery

Dr. Rizk is highly-renowned for the techniques and technologies he uses to promote rapid recovery from teen nose surgery. For instance, he makes smaller incisions, which allow for greater precision whilst leaving sensitive blood vessels undisturbed. He leaves the incisions partially open to allow for better drainage.

In addition, special tissue glues and dissolvable sutures are used, so there is no need for nasal packing. Dr. Rizk sculpts at a deeper level than most surgeons, which leads to more natural-looking and precise results.

Thanks to his advanced techniques, most of his teen rhinoplasty New York City patients look presentable approximately five days after surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Young Is Too Young for a Nose Job?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer on how young is too young for rhinoplasty, and many teens today are seeking surgery earlier. The appropriate time will be determined in collaboration by both the patient and Dr. Rizk.

What are the key factors to consider when choosing to have a teen rhinoplasty?

The two main factors to consider are:

Physical development – Has the nose stopped growing? If nose reshaping surgery is performed too early, the nose will be out of proportion with the rest of the features.
Maturity level – Is the patient emotionally ready for the procedure and all it entails? This includes their ability to understand and follow pre-and post-surgery instructions.

What Are the Top Tips for Teen Rhinoplasty New York Patients?

There are a number of issues teens (and their parents) should consider prior to undergoing rhinoplasty. Here are five tips to get you started:

Make sure your nose is fully developed.
Speak with your parents or guardians all patients under 18 years of age need the permission of a parent or guardian to undergo nose surgery.
Do it for yourself. If your decision is based on pressure from friends, parents, or anyone else, this is not OK.
Have realistic expectations. The surgical procedure will not completely transform your life. Ask yourself if you have realistic expectations before considering a nose job. If not, you are not a suitable candidate for the procedure.
Don’t be in a rush. There is nothing wrong with waiting a few years if you’re not ready (physically or mentally) for nose surgery.

Is Parental Consent Required For Teen Rhinoplasty?

Any patient under the age of 18 who wishes to undergo rhinoplasty must have permission from a parent or guardian.Rhinoplasty is a major surgery, so it is beneficial for a teen to consult with trusted adults before undergoing surgery, as well as all working together with their surgeon to ensure a great recovery and excellent results.

What’s the Difference Between Teen and Adult Rhinoplasty?

In most instances, teenage rhinoplasty is the same as adult rhinoplasty – the techniques are the same, as are many of the reasons patients choose to undergo surgery. However, special consideration is needed depending on the teen’s age, maturity, and readiness for major surgery.
