Please tell me if your nose gets smaller after weight loss surgery?



Recommended Posts

I'm pretty sure, like so much else, this is going to differ for everyone. I had no change in nose (and since it was brought up, no change in my feet either).

My whole body has become so much smaller..I'm short to begin with and now after such a huge weight loss, I am very petite all over. My face looks much smaller since the weight is gone...if you look at pictures, my eyes are much more open because my cheeks aren't so darn fat now when I smile. I don't have a big nose to begin with so it doesn't feel or look any different.

My feet however, have undergone a great change as well. I used to be an 8 1/2 wide and I am now a 7 1/2 regular width.

My nose was never wide but I did get dimples with weight loss.

I'm only a week out, and my nose is noticeably smaller and less round! I told my mom I've lost all 13.6 pounds in my nose =)

It probably depends on the person.

That would be great news for many of us but yet you are right everyone is different. Fingers crossed!

I will be so happy to see my fat toes go bye bye. when i was smaller i wore a 10-10.5 D shoe. Now I wear a 12 EEEEEE shoe!!! And I so long to see a pair of blue jeans that the first number of the waist size is a 3.... not a 4 or 5!!!

I think typically the foot size changes... Just wait and see.....

Dimples are good!! I have one too but it's been long lost since I got fat. I can't wait to see them again.

My entire body got smaller. Except my ears and nose. I think it was due to lack of muscle mass after my coma. But I take a smaller ring size then I did as a skinny teenager. Go figure!

@@gowalking -- Funny about the petite thing... when I was heavier, I guess the roundness of it all drew up enough fabric that the sleeves were ok, the waist of a dress hit me at the waist, etc. Now, all my clothes (even the new stuff that fits) hang down... sleeves over the hands, waist down around the hips. Now I don't have to shop in the specialty big woman section, I have to shop in the petite section! lol

My nose didn't shrink but my head looks a lot bigger on such a smaller body! :)

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
