# Teen Rhinoplasty Sydney

Teen rhinoplasty refers to rhinoplasty assessment for an adolescent patient, where nasal growth, emotional maturity, motivation, medical history, parent or guardian support, and the additional regulatory safeguards that apply to cosmetic surgery for patients under 18 must all be considered. Adolescent nasal concerns may be cosmetic (shape, profile, tip), functional (breathing problems, deviated septum), trauma-related (after a sports injury or other nasal fracture), or a combination of these. This page is written for parents, guardians, and adolescents who are researching whether a clinical consultation is appropriate, not as encouragement to proceed with cosmetic surgery.

Dr Scott J Turner is a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (FRACS, 2013) and holds AHPRA registration MED0001654827. He consults with patients about adolescent nasal surgery at his Bondi Junction (39 Grosvenor Street) and Manly (Suite 504, Level 5, 39 East Esplanade) clinics. Whether surgery is appropriate depends on individual assessment of physical maturity, psychological readiness, the specific concern, and adherence to the Medical Board's regulatory requirements for cosmetic surgery on patients under 18.
