Would I benefit from rhinoplasty? I was thinking of losing weight first, and maybe seeing how that might change the way my nose fits my face. But even so, I think my nose has always been a little wide for my face, regardless of what I've weighed in the past. I would love some advice on how to fix this problem.
Answer: Nose Size and Weight Loss The nasal anatomy has very little if any fat tissue. Therefore, changes in weight will not have a significant effect on the nose size and shape. Nasal bones and cartilages and the nasal skin thickness determine the nasal shape and size regardless of your weight.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your two photographs, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. Cartilage grafts may also be used to help improve tip refinement. Weight changes will not affect the appearance of your nose. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Answer: When to get a rhinoplasty If you are unhappy with your nose and want it to look different, you could benefit from rhinoplasty. Keep in mind that a rhinoplasty is not a need, however, but a want, so if it would make you happy to have a more defined tip and narrower bridge, then surgery is something to consider. If you gain or lose weight, it will not change the way your nose looks as there is very little fat in the nose, and your nose would still retain the bulbous tip. The pictures you posted are shadowy and not the best, so please do seek out an in-person consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty surgery to discuss your goals and expectations.

Answer: Slimming down the nose will require surgery Thank you for your question and photos. Since the nose is primarily made up of cartilage and bone, with little fatty tissue, weight fluctuations will not affect its appearance. If you are unhappy with your nose, I would recommend scheduling a consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can assess you in person and discuss your concerns and goals in greater detail. With a qualified surgeon and a customized surgical plan, you should see a very good result if you decide to move forward with nose surgery.

Answer: Will weight loss make my nose look thinner, or do I need to consider rhinoplasty? Great question! You're spot on when you mentioned that the nose exists in harmony with the rest of the face. Our approach to rhinoplasty is to rebalance the nose to improve this harmony. Weight loss will not change the shape of the nose, but it will change how the nose relates to the face. If you're thinking about nasal surgery, it wouldn't hurt to consult with a Facial Plastic Surgeon. The best recommendations come from an in-person exam and complete set of nasal photographs. Best of luck!

Answer: Weight and the appearance of the nose Weight gain or loss will not change the shape or size of the nose. However, your face may change with weight loss, and can affect the way the nose appears in proportion to the rest of your face. Weight loss may actually make your nose appear larger, and weight gain may make it appear smaller.
