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: 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.
