I'm a 24 year old female-- healthy and normal. But, I have been worried of late that my nose has gotten larger in the past few years. I was wondering if this is possible, or an issue of self image? Thank you.
Answer: Nose Growing with Age The nose grows from birth to about age 5. It then starts growing again until puberty. The nose is comprised of four main parts. The connections betwen these parts begin to relax as we age and the nose can droop. Things that can cause the nose to droop are trauma to the nose, genetics, and the aging process.If one has a collagen vascular disorder like Ehlers Danlos it could possibly fall.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Nose changes with age Hello and thank you for your question. The dorsal hump doesn’t necessarily grow with time but the tip can droop more if it is not properly stabilized and that can make it appear that the dorsal hump is growing as you age. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Answer: Is It Possible That With Age, My Nose Is Growing Larger? Your nose continues to grow well into your twenties. There are many factors including genetics and history of injury or trauma. The cartilage and bone are living tissues, and can react to repeated injury or trauma. This is often seen in boxers and MMA fighters, where they get a reactive callused bone formation around the bridge of the nose. In addition, your nasal growth center is inside your nose in the septum where cartilage meets the bone. If the growth center is disrupted , the signals that usually will halt nasal development may not activate and your nose can continue growing.

Answer: Nose growing larger? The nose, like any body part, can change over time. With age, the nose can appear larger and the tip may droop. However, this process is slow and likely isn't shown in your early 20s. There are medical reasons for a nose to get larger, but this does not appear to be your case.

Answer: Age and nose growth With time and age things in your body change.Particularly in the nose, there seems to be a growth of the cartilage and also the skin gets thicker, especially in the tip/supratip area. But don't despair, there things usually happen quite late in life and very slowly.Another common thing i have heard is that people think the nose gets bigger or more prominent with weight fluctuations. Well, perhaps but its not the nose that is changing, its everything else around it...!

Answer: Typically not noticeable Great question. After most of us hit 18-20 years of age, the nose does continue to change, but very minimally. That's why a lot of patients and surgeons consider doing rhinoplasty starting around 17 or 18 years of age, because the skeletal and cartilagenous growth has nearly completely occurred by then. The skin, ligaments, etc. can continue to change over time, but typically not in a drastic or rapid way. Essentially only very minimally, and typically really hard to notice any difference at all. One exception to this is in older patients who develop rhinophyma, a condition of the oil glands in the skin that distorts and thickens this skin, but this happens mostly after age 50 and most commonly in men. Otherwise I would suggest you meet with a surgeon to see if your changes can be addressed with a rhinoplasty. Good luck!
