Teen Rhinoplasty

Dr. Maurice Khosh is regularly recognized as a Top New York Facial Plastic Surgeon and he is an excellent choice for your NYC Rhinoplasty. Although rhinoplasty is the most common cosmetic surgery performed on teens, there is some controversy surrounding cosmetic surgery and Teen Rhinoplasty. However, when proper counseling is done with both the teen and their parents or guardians, a teen rhinoplasty (teen nose job surgery) can be very rewarding. Changing the shape or size of the nose can have a positive impact on a teen’s self-esteem, especially if it has been an area of ridicule from peers or they are self-conscious about their nose. It can also be performed to correct breathing issues from a traumatic injury to the nose or a congenital defect.

Dr. Khosh specializes in rhinoplasty for people of all ages and ethnic groups. His dual board certification and extensive experience make him the right choice when considering rhinoplasty for a teen. He will meet with the teen and their parents for a private consultation to ensure that the teen is a good candidate for the procedure and understands all the risks, including participating in contact sports.

Teen Nose Job in NYC

One of the factors to consider when contemplating a nose job for a teenager is whether the nose has finished growing. In most cases, this is around 13-14 for girls and 15-16 for boys. It is important that the nose is fully developed to ensure future revisions will not need to be made. Dr. Khosh will carefully examine any teen patient to evaluate the septum, bones, and cartilage to ensure they are at a stage where rhinoplasty is an option.
