In Lieu of Rhinoplasty, Can Fat Be Transfered from the Nose?
Hi! I just gave birth going on 6 years ago and during my pregnancy, my skin and body underwent changes.
One of the changes was my nose stretched clear across my face and had a bulbous like thickness that, to this day, has never gone away.
I even lost 80lbs. My nose is small in appearance, but too fat. Can't I have this fat transferred with the buttocks procedure this summer? Thnx!

Enlarged nose from pregnancy
There is virtually no fat between the dermis and the muscle in the nose. The subcutaneous fat is either extremely thin or non-existent.

Transferring fat from the nose instead of rhinoplasty
It is best to have your nose evaluated by a competent experienced rhinoplasty surgeon. If need be, consult with several surgeons.
I cannot imagine that any of the surgeons would recommend transferring fat from the nose. Improvements on the contour of the nose are best achieved by working on the bony cartilaginous structure with minor soft tissue refinements in selected circumstances.

While I am sure your body sustained some changes with your pregnancy - You MUST be joking or exercising some poetic license in claiming that "my nose stretched clear across my face "...
Such a are achievement, achieved naturally, without the use of a grabbing and twisting tool, would even engender professional jealousy from a member of the Spanish Inquisition which was quite inventive at painfully changing human anatomy.
