Can lossing weight make the nose thin you are 5'7 and your weight is 74 kgs please help the size of your nose is 2 12 inches please help?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, the short answer is no. Diet and body weight changes have no significant relation to nasal size or shape. The shape and size of the nose is primarily determined by the size of the nasal bones, between the eyes, and the size and shape of the the four paired nasal cartilages which form the majority of the nose projecting forward on the face. The remaining structure of the nose is formed by relatively thin skin and relatively fat-devoid soft tissue overlying the bones and cartilages. The sides of the curved nostrils attaching to the upper lip, the ala, are made of tk fibro-fatty tissue (gristle-like), internally, but have fat cells which will neither accumulate fat nor lose the small proportion of fat already present. Even if one were starving, the overall size of the nose would not really change. Good news, though..... your nose will never gain weight, even if you were to!

Of note for those persons interested in changing their nasal appearance through surgery, aka rhinoplasty or nose job, the thickness of the skin plays a large role in either allowing for subtle surgical refinements in shape to be seen, or not, after healing is complete. The overwhelming problem for plastic surgeons in drastically reducing the size of a person's nose is if the person has very thick skin and soft-tissue covering over the nose. While bone and cartilage can be reduced, the support these offer must be preserved in order to maintain adequate ability to breath easily without the sidewalls and nostrils collapsing. The overlying skin cannot be thinned because it provides the blood supply to the nose would likely result in surface scarring, contraction of the skin of the nose and eventually impaired breathing (ala Michael Jackson). Persons requesting or even demanding surgery to create a much small nose, even knowing it would block their breathing, are not terribly uncommon. But they are sure unhappy when they're unable to breath well through their nose after surgery, if unfortunate enough to have undergone such a surgery with the rare, willing plastic surgeon!

While thick skin poses a problem for reveling small refinements, like a quilt over a finely-detailed sculpture, thin nasal skin can also present a problem if one wants to hide small irregularities. Some new and reliable treatment options are available in both cases, but each must be carefully considered on an individual basis.
