Weight gain won't change the shape of your nose after a rhinoplasty, however it may look larger if you lose fat in the other parts of your face.

David A. F. Ellis, MD · Answer

Losing weight itself will not change the size of your nose. However, if you loss much cheek fat with your diet, your nose can look bigger. I often see this with people who have gone to these weight loss clinic.  That solution is to fill your cheek with an HA like Voluma which will last almost 2 years or in your case seriouly cosider a reduction rhinoplasty.

Jose Barrera, MD · Answer

The size, proporation, and thickness of the skin and underlying carilage and bone framework do not change with weight loss or gain.
