I'm about 20 lbs from a normal bmi, 40 lbs from my goal weight (Female, 5'9, early 20s, in good health). I'm wondering if, for aesthetic reasons, I shouldn't have a nose job until I've reached my goal weight because my facial appearance will continue to change as I lose weight. Will excess face weight affect decisions about nose size/shape, etc? Will my nose suit my face better if I wait, or does it not really matter? (I'd say I store an average amount of weight in my face for someone my size.)
