Rhinoplasty: the most frequently performed surgical procedure among teenagers

According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), nose reshaping (rhinoplasty), the most frequently performed surgical procedure among teenagers in 2003. It can be performed when the nose has completed 90 percent of its growth, which can occur as early as age 14 or 15 years old for girls and a little later for boys. It is best to have rhinoplasty after they have completed their growth spurt.
