It is usually safe to operate when the facial bones have stopped growing, which in girls is between fourteen and sixteen and in boys is usually between sixteen and eighteen and, of course, when the patient is emotionally mature enough for the procedure.

This depends partly on your own response to surgery, but mainly on how much bone work must be done.

This depends on the shape of your own nose. We do not break, we cut the bone, and this is necessary for several reasons, including as part of straightening the nose, to narrow a wide nose, and to bring the bones together after a large bump has been removed from the bridge.
