nose it doesn't work in our society. many times the patients younger than 18 come into rhinoplasty. >> sit okay? have all your bones grown to where they will be so -- at 16, it is okay to have -- >> really is. girls the end to mature earlier than boys. 14 and boys i always push them off to 16 or 18. they mature later. >> has the -- plastic surgery -- rhinoplasty, changed at all over the last ten years? >> absolutely. you know. just a few decades ago, they were all -- cookie cutter noses and overdone. now they are individual and more conservative and functional. they work. it is no longer acceptable to have a better looking nose but withdrew breathe as well. >> i think a lot of you have computer imaging where you can show a person what a different nose can -- can somebody go in and say i will get -- i want my most to look like sandra bulk on's nose? >> they can bring pictures in. the computer is great because patients can see what the

surgeon has in mind in terms of the final results. they can give input as i like this, i don't like this. a powerful school for rhinoplasty planning. >> you told us recently that it had been a study found that changing the nose can actually make a person look younger. why is that? >> we alluded to that to an earlier segment. study of the american journal of facial plastic surgery shows that rhinoplasty surge i have making people look between 3 to 5 years younger. >> why? >> because what happens as we age, our noses droops, becomes elongated as we lift it -- lifted, made smaller. it is more youthful appearance. >> the nose actually droops as we get older? >> earlobes and nose. >> one more thing to worry about. are you seeing a lot of older people? you said 18 to 80. are you seeing people -- yes. they can do it because the elasticity of the nose is very good and even the age of -- in

the 70s people can do rhinoplasty and get a good result. >> these results are generally permanent. >> precisely. rhinoplasty is one of those things you don't ever need to do again. >> dr. hopkins, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> look forward to hearing number four on the list. >> eyelid surgery next time. >> thanks a lot. >> number four. we are seeing small losses on the final day of trading for the week. let's check in with cnbc's mary thompson. she joins us live with more on that and the rest of the day's business headlines. >> hey there to you. we just turned mixed in the markets. dow is seven session winning streak at risk now because it is down about four points. s&p is holding on to gains and on track to possibly post its fifth straight weekly gain. nasdaq is down just about a point. the market showing little reaction to today's economic data. first of all consumer prices rose.4 of a% in january. boosted by a big judgment in gasoline prices. it wag in line with
