Can a nose get thinner and pointier with age? (Photo)

Question

If you look at her photos from when she was young, her nose was a lot rounder and more bulbous. Now, it is extremely pointy and thin and looks a bit longer, too. Does this happen naturally with age, or is it the result of a rhinoplasty? As far as I know, she's never had surgery.

Over time with age in some patients the skin thins , in other it gets thicker. If it thins the nose can appear more defined and thinner. Sometimes it is also due to changes after a rhinoplasty

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.The harmony between facial parts makes us instinctively recognize the beauty... without knowing it, without defining it, just a perception that surprises and captivates us.In this regard, I suggest perform a Closed Rhinoplasty (without visible scars) to treat the tip, base and nasal bridge.With this procedure you get a delicate nose, better harmonize with your other facial features.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

My best guess is that she had a rhinoplasty sometime in her early twenties, after reviewing all your photographs.

This is called natural aging with maturation of the nasal tissues. But in this presented case I can not rule out rhinoplasty surgery unless the person absolutely denies that there was any surgery!!!!

Cartilage continues to grow and skin can this with age. If you want to know if she had a rhinoplasty, I would ask her.
