Is Teenage Rhinoplasty a Good Idea?
Being a teen today can be difficult and physical appearance plays a key role in the confidence level of a teenager. More than any other age group, teenagers are subjected to the pressure of their peers.
Many parents feel conflicted about subjecting their teenager to a cosmetic surgical procedure for many reasons. Deciding to undergo rhinoplasty is an extremely personal decision that ultimately comes down to allowing him or her undergo the procedure for what you consider legitimate reasons: to save your child more emotional distress; the nasal structure does not balance with facial features, or a functional deformity exists.
Also, there a somewhat lengthy recovery period. It generally takes about one to two weeks of limited activity after a rhinoplasty procedure. Instead of missing school, many wait until summer or holiday vacation to have the procedure done.
The emotional and mental maturity of your teen plays an important role in deciding if she/he should undergo rhinoplasty. Teens should understand why they are choosing rhinoplasty and should have reasonable motivations for undergoing surgery. Peter Abramson, M.D. has performed hundreds of teenage rhinoplasty’s and he is very careful to advise teens and their parents of any physical and emotional risks of this surgery. Teens who are not emotionally prepared for surgery will be advised to wait.
