Does Your Nose Keep Growing? Would This Affect Outcome of Rhinoplasty?

Asked By:MsFunnyFace in Ireland

Thank you for previous help/advice on previous question. Interestingly, I heard noses do not stop growing...is this true? Would this not affect future results of a rhinoplasty? ie, the new nose could slightly fall back into its original state pre-surgery? Thank you all.
