What Causes a Fat Nose?

Having a fat nose is very common among the population. The main reason for a big, fat, fleshy nose originates from the individual’s genetics. In addition, people from some particular ethnic groups, such as Africans, African Americans, Middle Easterners, tend to have a fat nose on their face.

Is My Nose Big?

Although having a big nose is very frequent, some people (especially women) are overconcerned even with their small ideal noses. The reason for this is that they desire to have a baby-like fantasy nose. But this flight of fancy is not practical for patients and in some cases may result serious nasal impairments. For this reason, patients should recognize whether their nose is really big or they are just making it hard on themselves. To identify better that you have a big nose or not, you should take a look at the following. We list some characteristics of a big, unattractive nose for you to consider below.

  • Having excess fat under the nasal skin
  • When the width of the nose is wider than the space between the eyes
  • Fleshy nose
  • Bulbous nose tip
  • Large nostrils
  • Nasal pores and polyps

In some cases, heavy brow ridge and large front teeth of a person may cause a broad nose

How to Get a Smaller Nose?

Patients with big noses can reduce the size of their nose to enhance their nose appearance by taking the suggested treatment. There are various procedures that you can have for beautifying your nose shape. In the following, we will consider all of them by dividing them into 3 categories, natural, nonsurgical and Surgical.

  • Natural remedies

There are many myths about the natural treatment for reducing the size of the nose. Most of these remedies are unproven and regarded ineffective by medical experts. However, there are some natural ways to enhance the nose shape to a limited extent, like makeup and nose exercises. These solutions are short-lived and won’t produce any major modifications for patients. We will discuss how makeup techniques and nasal exercise can help.

Besides surgical procedures, some nonsurgical treatments also claimed to provide many benefits for unattractive noses of people. These nonsurgical treatments may have several advantages over surgical procedures. Although, when compared to surgical rhinoplasties, their effectiveness is at a much lower level. The main drawbacks of nonsurgical nose treatments are that they don’t offer a lifetime result and can only produce minor changes in the nose shape. Anyhow, for some patients, having a nonsurgical treatment would be more profitable than surgical procedures. In nonsurgical treatments, mainly, different kinds of fillers, such as dermal fillers and anti-aging injectables are used to enhance the appearance of the patients’ noses. One of the most frequently recommended nonsurgical treatments is the liquid nose job, also called non-surgical rhinoplasty. You can get the details about this procedure and see how Flora can help you to have this treatment on our other page HERE.

  • Surgical treatments

Medical sciences and technology progressed dramatically over time. Due to these advancements, more and more surgical treatments emerge for accomplishing the cosmetic purposes of patients who desire a more attractive nose. Nevertheless, different types of rhinoplasties surgery are considered the most beneficial cosmetic procedures that patients can undergo for enhancing their nasal appearance. During this procedure, which will be performed under anesthesia, the surgeon will make some incisions on the nose surface. Through these lesions, the surgeon can access the nose’s underlying structure to make modifications to the nasal structure. After the desired result is achieved, patients should wait up to 6 months for getting recovered from the surgery. After the rhinoplasty recovery period, are able to see and feel the embellishments in their noses.
