Hi there, I realize the nose usually stops actually growing around age 18-20. However I understand that ageing for a variety of reasons can cause the nose to appear to be larger. My question is, is how drastic can the nose change appearance after it has stopped growing. For example, I turn 21 soon. Will my nose at 21 look generally the same as my nose at 25, 30, 35, 40 etc. How dramatic are these changes to nose appearance as we age? Thank you

Answer: Changing nose with age... The way the nose changes with age can be dependent on many factors. In some people there is barely any change at all. In others, the ligaments can weaken causing the nose to droop, or the skin can thicken causing the nose to look bigger. A lot of this is somewhat genetic in nature. Look at your close relatives and you might get an idea of what it may look like in the future.

Answer: The effects of gravity on facial aging do not spare the nose. The force of gravity is partially responsible for the facial aging process. Depending on the shape and structure of your nose, it will be more or less susceptible to facial aging and drooping with time. Those with small nasal appearances and obtuse nose-lip angles are less likely to see changes in their nasal appearance with aging compared to those with larger noses and droopy dependent nasal tips at a young age. Hope this helps. Dr. Joseph
