| A friend of a friend had hers at 16/17, and was (and is) so hard up with it |

| Summer going into senior year was the standard age in my hometown in NJ where there was a huge jewish and italian population. My sicilian nose was "altered" that summer as well. Best decision ever. Gave me confidence going into my final year and college. |

| 16 I think. It depends on their bones and whether they're done growing. |

What's that mean? |

She claims two peers got it done this summer heading into 9th grade. |

I'm guessing that's an autocorrect misstep for "happy". |

| I had mine one summer in HS and no regrets. |

I knew a girl who got hers done the summer before high school and I quietly (in my 16 yr old brain) thought she was too young.
If the facial bones have finished growing, okay. Otherwise, wait. |

| The idea that there are large groups of young women surgically altering their faces is horrible. If everyone just kept their noses it would be normal. |

I don't have a dog in this fight but I'll say this: I like my nose. My husband literally said to me this morning "you have the perfect nose." That feels good.
My nose is unaltered, but who cares. Who the hell am I, or you, or someone else, to tell another girl/women she can't feel the same way about her nose? If that's her goal and its within her means, who cares. |

Question for those who did get rhinoplasty, or had friends who did, in HS-
Was it not weird coming back to school obviously having had plastic surgery? I don't know anyone who did this (that I'm aware of) and I feel like it would have been obvious. |
