My Nose Keeps Growing at the Age of 30. Will a Nose Job Make It Stop?

You should first have this evaluated by a dermatologist or ENT MD to rule out the possiblity of a tumor or rhinophyma condition.

In all likelihood the nose itself is not growing. More likely is that the skin overlying the nose may be changing. There is also a small but real layer of fat in the tip of the nose. With weight gain and loss, subtle but noticeable changes in nasal tip volume may be seen. Finally, dermatologic conditions, like Rosacea, can cause changes to the the skin which alter nasal appearance.

While Rhinoplasty may help to resculpt the undelrying cartilage, if a skin problem is present, you may not see the results you desire. Probably is best to have a consultation with a nasal surgery specialist and get an opinion before thinking about a fix.

Best of luck

Hi Balt,

Other than when Pinochhio was not telling the truth, I have never heard of a nose that continues to grow at age 30.  Certainly a rhinoplasty can result in a smaller nose, but you will have to take the responsibility of not fibbing.  Good luck and be well.  Happy Thanksgiving.
