Do noses get harder and less floppy as you get older?

Question

I heard that the cartilage hardens. Is this true? Do most older people have hard noses?

I want mine to get harder because I hate how it moves so much when I smile and stuff.

Also, the nose droops down with age becuse of gravity, right? ..or is it not because of gravity?

Answer 1

Sadly noses do not harden with age, unlike the soles of your feet. However your head shrinks and, conversely, makes you nose look larger. Neither is good news for you.

Answer 2

Not sure, because I have heard that your nose and ears never stop growing.

Answer 3

The nose grows as you age and only stops when you die. Cartilage becomes hard with age. Gravity has nothing to do with it
