My Graduation Present
by LittleReznor, Oct 31, 2008 10:10AM
I live with my grandparents, and my grandmother has this nose fixation; she's obsessed with peoples' noses being too big or weird. But that's besides the point... My grandmother said that this coming summer (before my senior year of high school) that she will pay for me to get a nose job. Is that too early in life to have something like that done, though? Is my nose done growing? Just kind of curious.

The decision to undergo rhinoplasty (nose job) should be entirely up to you. You should not undergo the procedure just because a relative suggests it. However, if it is something you want to do, it is not too early to undertake the procedure. I have successfully performed this surgery on patients as young as 15 (and well past pubescence) who were strongly motivated to have the procedure.
