Will my nose get larger or change in appearance after rhinoplasty?

Filed under: Nose Job,Rhinoplasty — Dr. Paul Nassif @ 12:48 pm

Question:
Is it possible for the nose to continue to grow after a nose job even for an adult?

Answer:
When individuals age, they often experience drooping of the nasal tip. This is due to a loss of support. A drooping tip may create the appearance of a dorsal hump, and the dorsum now appears convex. This can contribute to the appearance of a larger nose. A rhinoplasty can help to bring up the tip and increase the nasolabial angle for a more youthful appearance. As one ages following a rhinoplasty, you may still notice subtle changes. However, if a solid support system is in place, the tip will not have a tendency to droop and add to the appearance of a larger nose. As a result, any effects of aging will not be as noticeable. Thank you and I hope this helps.
