Will Losing Weight in my Face Make my Nose Look Thinner?

zhara in oz
I was left with a slightly pinched tip after a rhinoplasty in 2007. Over the 5 years i have put on 2okg. I am seeking to lose the weight slowly and know that i lose fat in my face as a result. I am concerned that losing weight in my face, particulary along the sides of my nose, will make my nostrils appear more pinched and thinner. Is this likely? I realise there is not much fat in the nose, but will losing fat around the sides of my nose, make the nostrils look more pinched in?
