Your nose will not get smaller if you lose weight as your nose will not be and is not affected by any amount of weight loss.

The nose is made of bone, skin and cartilage and not fat cells so since there's no fat cells in the nose the weight loss cannot affect the nose size.

Your nose will sometimes get skinnier and appear longer and narrower as you age.

As you age the aging results in loss of fat and soft tissue through the body including your nose which can lead to a deflated or hollowed appearance of the nose.

The age that your nose is fully shaped is when you reach the age of 15 or 16 for girls and for men the nose is fully shaped when you reach the age of 18 and have developed adult noses.

Your nose will then remain mostly the same shape for several decades although small changes in shape may occur as you age.

During childhood and teen years the nose continues to grow and then when you reach adulthood the nose stops growing although it may change in shape and look like it's growing but it's due to changes in skin and cartilage.

Your nose is both bone and cartilage as the nose is supported by bone at the back and the bridge of the nose and is supported by cartilage in the front of the nose.

When you push your nose upwards it helps build facial muscles on both sides of your nose.

Pushing the nose upwards can also temporarily change the shape of the nose but eventually it will return to it's normal shape.

The nose is so important as the nose helps you smell, taste and also breathe.

Your nose also allows the air around you to enter your body and helps filter any debris from the air and warms the air and moistens it before it enters your body.

You inherit your nose from your mom and dad although if you're a boy then you are more likely to inherit your nose from your mom and if you're a girl then you're more likely to inherit your nose from your dad.

Noses do change with age and can change shape and size as you get older.

Noses do get slightly bigger with age and the nose can also change shape with age.

The human nose is almost fully grown by the time you reach your teens although the nose can still change shape and grow some as we age and get older.

The human ears also are 90 percent grown by the age of 6 years old but they can also grow some and change shape the older you get.

The part of the human body that does not grow from birth to death is the innermost ear ossicle and the eyeballs.

As you grow or develop the ossicle does not grow in size nor does the eyeballs.

Your legs are stronger than your arms as your legs hold up the weight of your body so they need to be much stronger than your arms.

The legs are also able to push as much as 4 times more weight than your arms can.

Legs also have a much better advantage than arms when it comes to endurance.

The strongest bone in your body is your femur which is one of the most well described bones in the human skeleton in the fields ranging from forensic medicine and clinical anatomy.

The femur is the bone of the thigh or upper hind limb, articulating at the hip and the knee.

The part of human body that does not burn in fire is the bones.

The bones will burn however but it takes a temperature of 1,292 degrees F or above and even then the bones don't turn completely to ash.

The body part that stops growing first are the hands and feet.

After the hands and arms the arms and legs then also stop growing.

As you progress through puberty your growth plates mature and then at the end of puberty the growth plates fuse and stop growing.

A good way to know if you will still grow and have growth potential is through an X Ray of your wrist.

The X Ray of your wrist is called a pediatric bone age  and it shows if your growth places are still open or not.

If your growth plates are still open then you will likely still grow but if your growth plates are closed then you stop growing.

Your body knows to stop growing when the bones fuse together.

The high concentration of estrogen in human blood is what causes the growth plates of our bones to fuse.

This fusion effectively closes the growth centers of long bones and renders them unable to respond to the hormones that initiate growth.

Humans take so long to grow as the brain which is hungry for energy diverts energy from our bodies which slows down growth and leads to a long childhood and adolescence.

Humans are considered late bloomers and late growers when compared with the other primates.

Growth hormones are made in the pituitary gland, which is the most important factor for growth and growing fast.

Things that makes us grow fast are proper nutrition, plenty of sleep, exercise, water and growth hormones.

The 4 things that humans need to grow are food, water, air and exercise.

As humans we also need growth in every capacity: spiritually, intellectually, physically, and emotionally.
