There's a condition called Acromegaly - excessive, disproportionate growth of the limbs and facial bones due to a malfunction of the pituitary gland. From the Greek: Akron - extremity + Megas - large. So, OP, it's unlikely that you have this. More likely, you're just a worrisome person.

Most likely, you've just lost some weight, your face has become a bit thinner and your nose more noticeable. Or you've simply changed your hair colour, which can also make a big difference... Or perhaps, you're now applying makeup with different accents, which visually can also shift proportions... Right?

Author, I'm not sure what's causing your nose to grow so quickly. But it is true, our noses and ears continue to grow very slowly throughout our lives, right up until the end. They grow very slowly but throughout our life until old age. That's just how it is, I was told. Why our noses and ears enlarge as we age. And somehow our lips shrink.

But for me, it's the opposite when I put on weight, my nose spreads and my lips become thin and nasty☹️, and my face looks funny....

Have you been lying a lot lately?

6 and 10, I did ask for no jokes. I understand that when you have a normal, ordinary nose, this kind of topic seems funny. But I'm genuinely upset...

In the story "The Dwarf Nose", there was, I believe, a description of the herbs he used to shrink his nose.

I have a neat little nose, not big, i.e. proportional to my face, but mum always says, when I lose a bit of weight, that my nose has gotten longer! Maybe, due to weight loss, your nose seems longer too, OP!

And I've noticed too that my nose is growing. Truth is, it doesn't spoil my look yet (I'm 27), but around the age of 40, I'm also scared I'll turn into Pinocchio 😭😭😭😭

The nose changes throughout one's life - that's a fact.

Not only the nose, but also the ears, or more precisely the cartilage at their base, increase throughout life. Notice how large the ears of all elderly people are.

I'm 28, with a neat, pretty little nose. My dad's is more like a potato, my mum's - long. So now I'm pregnant and my nose has stretched!!!!!!!!!!! So probably due to hormones.

Bimbo, thank you, at least someone believed me, not just called me a puppet:😂 I just think that the bigger the nose is initially, the faster it grows, seriously:😊

In their youth, women often wear voluminous hairstyles, long hair (which also distracts attention from the nose), and as they age, they start to wear increasingly shorter "practical" hairstyles. This, plus the actual reduction in the size of eyes and lips with age, has given birth to the myth about the supposed growth of the nose, which if it exists at all, is hardly noticeable.

Don't be silly! The nose and ears are made of cartilage, and they grow throughout life. I watched a programme, either BBC or Discovery, and they said that over 20 years, the perimeter of the ear increases by about 1 cm. I was so shocked by this that I remembered it.

Oh, I have the same problem, OP, I understand you so well,☹️. Aside from the fact that my nose is wide, it's also long and I'm afraid of what it will become over the years. My family constantly reminds me of my big nose. I'm so envious of everyone else, I'm even afraid to wear glasses😟. Because of it, my appearance is repulsive. I've read the advice above and I'll give it a try.

The nose really does change, the hump becomes bigger, the tip of the nose drops, and not necessarily with old age.

Did no one go to school or something?? The nose and ears grow throughout life.

I'm 39 years old. Yes, oh and ah 🤣 my nose and ears have gotten bigger 🤣 Just the other day, I was looking at my university photos, and in some of them, my nose is so lovely, as if I've had a rhinoplasty! Neat, small, in short, beautiful, but now it's just ordinary, it's gotten bigger and the nostrils have somehow expanded. In short, it's a horror 😟, if you compare!, but if you don't compare then life is bearable and necessary! My ears are almost always under my hair. But they really have somehow lengthened. Well, wonders.

Yes, I too didn't lose any weight. But my nose grew. And I thought I was the only one like this. It was really small when I was about 17. But now I'm 23 and sometimes it's disgusting to look in the mirror, it's grown so much...

Well, I've got chronic tonsillitis, and when it flares up, my nose REALLY does increase in size, albeit not by much.

Yes, I also notice my nose getting bigger with each passing year 😊

It's really true!! All life, and not just the nose, but also the ears - it's pure truth! 😊

49🤣 Hmm... To each their own...🤣

I'm 25 years old, recently I've started to notice that he's become wider, complexes have appeared.

Here's how I feel good, my nose was short, now it's elongated - beautiful. And my chest - it's grown. Was a C cup, now an F cup.

I'm 25, weigh 48kg, short in stature, besides the fact that my nose has indeed become somewhat larger, nothing else is growing, and you're talking about breasts, and from a C cup straight to an F. Maybe you've put on weight.

Ah, it's a pity that legs don't get longer with age 😊

I agree, the nose does get bigger, I only noticed it about two weeks ago, that now at 27 it's much larger than at 21.. and then your article, I panicked a lot... OP, hang in there, I understand you... perhaps facial gymnastics, this, indeed, might be the solution..?

Well...such a problem 😊 I'm 20 and my nose is far from perfect! It's long, I have big nostrils, and a meaty, potato-like tip, on top of that, I also have enlarged pores on my nose 🤣 When I imagine myself at 40, I start to laugh. Of course, I'm not happy with my nose, but I try not to tell people about it, especially guys. Only in my childhood did I buzz my parents' ears off with this "world problem". I don't touch my nose with cosmetics, I don't mask it with anything. Surprisingly, my nose doesn't bother me! There are also no problems regarding attention from the male gender, moreover, my flaw is compensated by beautiful eyes and plump lips. So, you need to think less about it, not to focus, accept and love yourself as nature created, not to look for flaws, but only virtues 😊 I dreamed of plastic surgery all my childhood, but now I doubt that it's worth it: they say that you will have a lot of problems after the operation..constant corrections, and it starts to grow as it pleases.. And in general, believe me, a big nose - these are such trifles! The main thing is not the forms, but the content! When communicating with a charming person, the appearance "dissolves" in the first 5 minutes of conversation.

I'm 25 and I've noticed that my nose is not only growing in length, but its shape is increasingly resembling a potato, becoming thicker.

The nose keeps growing all life...little by little, but it doesn't scare me, as mine is very small, slightly bigger than a small child's:😂...hehe...I look like a doll in general:😂.

Is having rhinoplasty painful, share your experiences

Yes,indeed the nose is growing! Mine was never small,but over the last 4 years it has become absolutely wide.It's disgusting to look at

For strengthening the nose muscles. C: Place your middle fingers on your nose in the bridge area. The fingertips should touch. Gently pull the skin down and hold it in this position. You need to put two middle fingers on each side, then slightly stretch. The nose needs to be tensed, roughly, as in the previous exercise - under the fingers, you need to feel the nose muscles tensing. In my opinion, it became thin and sharp in two weeks. I suspect it's from this exercise.

Sometimes I too feel like my nose has grown, and other times I look - it's remained the same... could it be the bruises under my eyes making it seem so? 😂 AAA! Scary 😊

More precisely, this area between the eyes has somehow become wider, it seems!

Well, over the past 2 months, my nose has grown (!)... The bridge and the whole nose in general. Glasses no longer fit... And I look at myself and notice that all my joints have somehow enlarged and look rough... I only find one thing on the internet: acromegaly 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭And what about acromegaly?!?

Dear author😆, compared to me, I think you're wonderful😂.

And what should one do for the nose to grow faster? (In length, of course) 🤣

I had plastic surgery 5 years ago. No joke- my face swells up so much that my eyes can barely open. But I was happy. Now it's long again. I don't know how to explain it.

"What's it like to 'strain the nose'?"

They should have cut it off entirely so it wouldn't grow back.

I have the same problem.... I of course had no doubts that there are people with similar problems, but what does it depend on and how to fight it??? I don't know, in 5 years my nose has completely changed, I can no longer be called snub-nosed...😟

I had a rhinoplasty almost 6 years ago. So now, looking at myself in the mirror, I'm starting to notice that a bump has reappeared on my nose... I'm sitting here now and don't know what to do?! Going back for another operation is scary, the result could be even more unpredictable. Doing nothing is also not an option, I can't live with this "wonder". 😭 Rubbish!!! 😟

At 15, I had a neat little nose.. but now, at 20, out of nowhere, I've got a bump and a tip..and it's bigger! True..it was my mum's nose, now it's my dad's.. I'm self-conscious..but my boyfriend says, now, if he sees a girl with a "neat little nose", he thinks she's not right..)) don't be upset)) 😆😆

Author, first try all possible methods of gymnastics, everything can be corrected (even if not particularly significant) with massage and gymnastics! Go for it 😉 I too was not satisfied with my nose... (I'm a prof/masseur)

You just need to do it correctly.

94, could you explain in more detail, how to make the nose smaller?

A huge nose- huge happiness and career success!!! 🤣

You're right, original poster, the nose and ears are organs that grow throughout life. This is scientifically proven. The growth hormone is to blame, which affects the growth of joint and connective tissue. Pay attention - all old people have an enlarged nose tip and gnarled hands. This is the result. So, we'll all be there one day.

All this is nonsense ....😆
