Considering a nose job.

Im 14 years old and sick of the way i look. My nose has a hook shape at the end of it, and it seems people  always find a way of reminding me its there. My mum says it will go as i get older, but i know for a fact it will not, as my mum, uncle, and aunt all the the same nose shape as i. I feel like i have no confidence from it, when im out i constintly worry if people are looking at my nose, its becoming a huge down in my life.

What i want to ask is, should i go for a nose job when im at the legal age so im not stuck with it all my life, or will the shape go as i get older?

Hello,

Whether or not you would like to have rhinoplasty performed when you are of the recommended minimum age (15 for females) is strictly up to you. It is difficult to predict how your nose will change in the future, as everyone is different. Please feel free to ask me any questions about the procedure. In addition, you may send any photos to my office and I would be happy to evaluate them for you. My contact info is listed in my profile. Thank you, and best of luck to you.

I think she's too young for one, I have my own rhinoplasty when I was about 23 and thanks to Dr. Kim, I now looked good and have more confidence.
