Do you think it is okay for a young person to have plastic surgery? I really don't like my nose but I don't know if I should say something to my mom now or just wait until I'm older. What do you guys think?
VainTaraLynn answered Thursday August 25 2005, 12:46 am: I honestly think that you should wait till your older for anything serious like that. Wait till your at least over 18, and see if you still dont like it then. Plus its really expensive, and its not 100% that you will even like it.

K. First off. Why change anything about you? If you change something like that, you arent who you were. You become fake. You change yourself to make yourself "pretty." That infact is a sad sad way to live. In religious terms..thats not how God made you. You arent meant to defile your body..I wont go into it...
However to really answer your question...I say wait. You're probably too young ;-) and havnt even grown into your permanent appearnce. We all change and who knows, maybe when your done growing, your nose will look perfect. Besides getting PS at an early age can be devastating to your body. Stuff might not meld correctly. Anyway...take it or leave it, its up to you.
gUeSsHoO278 answered Tuesday August 23 2005, 10:16 pm: I think you should be atleast 17...because getting nose jobs has major consequences that "teens" have a tough time dealing with but if you're okay with the pain and wont "die" if it doesn't come out how you expected...its fine [ gUeSsHoO278's advice column | Ask gUeSsHoO278 A Question ]

azngemini answered Tuesday August 23 2005, 9:45 pm: i dont really like my nose either, but i'm not planning on getting a nose job because i think people should just accept who they are. but if you really dislike it THAT much, i think you should wait maybe until you're 17 or 18. if you do plastic surgery on your nose while you're still in middle school or highschool, it might be pretty embarassing and annoying because everyone will be talking about your nose job. so just wait until you get out of school, and you can do whatever you want with your features.

ViTaChaN answered Tuesday August 23 2005, 9:31 pm: I think you should wait, but you have to tell your mom first. I think you have to be 18 or older to have a plastic surgery. Hope I helped!
Teza answered Tuesday August 23 2005, 9:28 pm: I think you should talk to your mom about it right now. But I also think that you should at least wait until you are 18. It's fine then. Only get it if you really need to. ♥ [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]
jj_u_i_c_y answered Tuesday August 23 2005, 9:20 pm: well im almost 100% sure that you have to be 16 or older so as long as your parents are cool you can. but i would wait, because your body may not be done growing and what can happen is you can get your nose job but because your body isnt done growing the hump or whatever it was will grow back.
xXxpinky615xXx answered Tuesday August 23 2005, 9:11 pm: I personally think it's okay for a young person to get plasic surgery DEPENDING on what it is. But other people would have a much different opinion. It's completely up to your parents on whether or not you can get plasic surgery. Depending on how young you are, it may not be a good idea. But I think in your situation, you should wait until you are older. Getting a nose job isn't something a YOUNG teenager that is still living with her parents should be doing. Wait until you are older, around 18 maybe even 21. Your opinion may change by then! Who knows. So I'd say just wait it out until you are older. I hated my nose for a while and now I have all these people telling me how much they love it and how "cute it is" now my nose is like one of my favorite features on my face. But talk to your mother first and see what she says. If she says no, then wait until you're older. [ xXxpinky615xXx's advice column | Ask xXxpinky615xXx A Question ]
Razhie answered Tuesday August 23 2005, 9:10 pm: It is not a very good idea to have plastic surgery until you are in your twenties. Untill then, your body is still growing and changing, including your face. Your new nose might end up looking awful on your fully grown face. Talk to your mother if youd like, but I imagine most surgens will advise you to wait until you are definately finished growning. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
