Nose is Growing Too Big Too Fast, Do I Need Surgery? (photo)

September 23, 2013
Asked By:skatebba

My nose seems to have thickened and more bulbous extremely fast within the last few years, can anything be done to stop the process? I thought i had rhinophyma but the dermatologist told me nothing was wrong. i gained some weight but would that induce nose growth as well? Do I have any options to make my nose more narrow and smaller? Would very much appreciate any input and any help, thank you in advance everyone
