It can\u00a0provide a boost of self-confidence during an especially vulnerable time in a teen's life and can help with breathing, sleep, and quality of life. To ensure families broach the subject as thoughtfully as possible, we tapped Dr. Sam Rizk<\/strong><\/a>, an NYC-based double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, and rhinoplasty expert who\u00a0is globally sought for his consistent outcomes and compassionate bedside manner.<\/p>\n

Haute Beauty: You've had many adolescent patients. Any advice for parents who are having a hard time wrapping their heads around their child's desire for surgery?<\/h3>\n

Dr. Sam Rizk:<\/strong> Parents are always concerned about their child\u2019s quality of life, happiness, and self-worth. It's crucial to seek out an experienced facial plastic surgeon, who takes time to connect not only with the family but with the patient. The surgeon is best when s\/he understands the issues and can support the desired outcome. Equally important is finding a surgeon who does a high volume of cases, has the experience, and is known for a natural, refined approach\u2014one who embraces ethnic nuances and celebrates what makes us unique.<\/p>\n

HB: Is the one-size-fits-all nose job a thing of the past, then?<\/h3>\n

SR:<\/strong> Oh, definitely. The \"ski slopes for all\" trend disappeared with the 90s\u2014though don't get me wrong, there are plenty of surgeons who still operate this way. Interestingly, most of my patients want to look like themselves, only better. For me, it's always a red flag when someone\u2014especially a teen\u2014comes in with the desire\u00a0to look like a celebrity or a heavily filtered\u00a0picture they found on Instagram.<\/p>\n
