Can I Get A Rhinoplasty At Age 16?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Hello. Is it possible to get nose tip rhinoplasty in boy at the age of 16 for purely cosmetic enhancement (nose tip is slightly bulbulous, not severe or anything close case). If so, is parents agreement needed? If this cosmetic procedure is not possible at this age, then can I plan the surgery for future and get it done as soon as I turn 18?

A: Having a rhinoplasty under age 18 requires parental consent.
