The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Nasal cosmetic surgery (rhinoplasty) is not medically recommended for babies. A baby's nose isn't fully developed at birth, and facial structure changes as a child grows, so the nose changes too. No reputable pediatric authority—not the AAP, WHO, or Turkey's Health Ministry—endorses cosmetic nose surgery in infancy.

The only nasal surgery in babies is for serious structural problems that interfere with breathing or feeding (such as choanal atresia)—and that's a medical, not cosmetic, procedure.

If you're concerned only about appearance, nose shape isn't modified in infancy—you wait until facial features settle (after puberty). If there's a breathing problem, a pediatric ENT specialist should evaluate it.
