i swear that my nose is getting bigger! 5 years ago i did a little modeling, even though i have a dorsal hump, it was not horrible. Now i feel like it is taking over my face. my nose is wide and the hump it getting so big that it's actually blocking my view with one eye if i try to glace to the side. I want to cry when i see photos of myself now. I have seen a doctor because of a deviated septum. they refuse to do any work unless i pay for the cosmetic side first.Why is my nose getting bigger and will a rhinoplasty help?

Answer: Nose Changes & Rhinoplasty The nose typically stops growing between 14 and 16 years of age in most patients. Although the nose doesn’t continue to grow, it does continue to change. Gravity can have a significant impact on the nose and over the course of time, it can cause the nasal tip soft tissue to sag. This can change the nasal appearance and dramatically impact facial aesthetics. Although, the nasal problems that you describe are not related to growth, they can still be addressed with rhinoplasty surgery. For this reason, consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with rhinoplasty experience is appropriate.

Answer: Nose Getting Bigger - Will Rhinoplasty Help
Your photograph only shows one view but you do appear to have a widened dorsum and by history a dorsal hump. I think a rhinoplasty could improve the appearance of your nose and if you have a deviated septum that impairs your breathing then you could have the procedures done simultaneously.
