What are the most common changes to the nose that come with age?
The most frequent noticeable change is the tip of the nose dropping down toward the floor and often inwards towards the face. This drooping of the tip causes a relative hump on the bridge but can also begin to cover up part of the upper lip, especially on smile. Some interpret this as growth of the nose but it actually stems from a weakening and loss of support. Restoring the tip to a more youthful position is a nice way to rejuvenate the nose with a somewhat subtle change. Many observers will not even recognize the nose has changed at all but the face appears more youthful and rested. Sometimes there is a loss of bone or soft tissue at the area of the base of the nostrils that causes the highest aspect of the upper lip to draw inwards. This contributes to the appearance of the tip of the nose dropping. Implants or grafts nicely rejuvenate this area for an even better result. Some individuals show profound affects of aging in their nasal skin. Surprisingly this area can become thin wit
