Can fat be extracted from the nose?

Although a majority of people don't have a lot of fatty tissue in their noses, some do.  Removal of cartilage and skin can help achieve a more narrow look but, when necessary, some fat may be removed as well. 

There isn't much fat on the nose and any thickness you see is usually attributed to other tissue, namely skin and cartilage. 

       There is some soft tissue that can be removed from the nose, but the underlying cartilage structure is frequently altered to help refine a nose.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Dear Bill S,There is very little fatty tissue that covers the noseYou can thin the skin my removing some of the undersurface muscle and soft tissueWe have different maneuvers for different issues of the noseA consultation would be best so an exam can be done and your goals expressed to your surgeon so we can talk about resultsBest,Nima Shemirani

There is no fat located in the nose. The rhinoplasty procedure involves reshaping cartilages and bone underneath the skin covering over the nose. For many examples of rhinoplasty, please see the link below

If you have a fat nose, this can often be refined by contouring the cartilaginous and bony structures. Sometimes the skin flap is thinned a bit.

There really is only an extremely tiny amount of fat in the nose and most of it is "tied up" in with other tissue. Sometimes in a "fat" nose with thick skin and a lot of fibrofatty tissue under the skin, in addition to other maneuvers, we may CAUTIOUSLY thin a bit of that layer from the underside of the skin for a bit more refinement. This only contributes a tiny bit to the overall result.
