It is very normal for young people to want to resort to ways to make them look aesthetically beautiful at a young age, that is, during adolescence. These concerns, which become a problem in the growing age, can be considered normal, but having a rhinoplasty requires responsibility.
There are two opposing views on whether or not aesthetic nose surgery should be performed on young patients. The group in favor of performing plastic surgery on young people says that deformities in children’s bodies leave deep marks on their social and emotional development, which can lead to psychological problems. On the other hand, opponents of plastic surgery think that plastic surgery performed before children complete their physical and emotional development will have negative effects on their development.
Therefore, a young patient needs to be informed about the subject in the best and most accurate way. However, in the face of all this information, the patient’s full comprehension of this information is a matter of debate.
My personal opinion on this issue is that the most important problem in deciding to have aesthetic nose surgery at a young age is the approach of the parents on this issue. In addition to parents who argue that parents should not be impatient about correct information and nose surgery, there are also parents who insist that their child undergo a nose operation before completing his/her development.
My advice to parents in this regard would be to get information about the best timing from the plastic surgeon without being in a hurry. Each case should be evaluated individually for aesthetic nose surgery for young people. Except for medical necessity, the physical, mental and spiritual development of the person who will have rhinoplasty should be taken into consideration. In addition, how important a role the deformity to be corrected plays in his/her life is also an effective factor in decision-making.
