Has anyone later in life started growing a ball at the end of their nose, like the cartilage part?

A kind of "surgery" to treat sinus problems - "Middle turbinate lateralization: a simple treatment for rhinologic headache.To introduce a minimally invasive method to eliminate the symptoms of contact-point rhinologic cephalgia. STUDY DESIGN: A prospective study of 55 patients with chronic nasal or glabellar pain and endoscopically proven nasal origin. METHODS: All 55 patients in whom endoscopic examination demonstrated a contact point between the middle turbinate and the nasal septum were treated by fracturing the middle turbinate lateralward using a small metal tongue depressor under 10% lidocaine HCL topical anesthesia. RESULTS: Of the treated cohort, 48 (87%) of the patients had complete clinical symptom resolution after one treatment and all had resolution after two treatments. Recurrence occurred in 1 patient. There were no short-term or long-term adverse sequelae. The results persisted at a mean follow-up time of 50 months (range, 6-84 mo). CONCLUSION: Middle turbinate lateralization is safe and effective in eliminating the symptoms of rhinologic cephalgia induced by contact point between the middle turbinate and nasal septum."

Before... what?\n\nOnce you hit a certain age, it is impossible to grow taller. Your epiphyses fuse at the joints (elbows, knees, fingers, toes, etc.) because your cartilage growth plates have become calcified (turned to bone). There are pills on the market that claim to be able to make you grow taller, but I just don't see how that's possible since you can't add length to bone that has already hardened.

Cartilage never stops growing, which is why older people tend to have larger ears and noses.

The growth plates of bones located at the ends grow with age, and start their life as cartilage. This way, bones can lenghthen from infancy into late adolesence. With age, calcium begins accumulating in the growth plates to fuse the epiphyses (the ends of the bones) and thus turn into bone. Not all cartilage calcifies though (ears, nose, etc.), only the parts associated with growth.

I don't know if it is normal, but it is not unusual.  This often happens. There should be no immediate concern unless you have had an injury to it; or, if it has lumps or it is painful. In either case have a doctor check it out as soon as possible.\n\nBy the way you only have one ball sack (scrotum), but you probably have only two balls (testicles). (Some lucky guys have three testicles.)

Sure, don’t worry!\nIt just is an anatomic factor where the left testicle can be greater and longer.\nThere’s no exact reason for that and somebody think it’s a way to avoid their collision during our movements.

Its not true that if you play basketball/volleyball you grow taller. Its just a superstition.\n\nI'm pretty sure that there is no way to make you taller naturally. Its all genes but youre just 13, you should still grow.

Take up boxing.  After years of being broken, it may not be smaller, but probably be a bit flatter...\n\nWhat you are asking is impossible.  There's no magic nose shrinking pills.  It's surgery or you keep the nose you were born with.

If you are very young then there is a chance the rest of your face will "catch up" with your nose by the time you are 18.  If not, you can always have plastic surgery to have it more porportional to the rest of your face.  With that said, it's really what's inside your head and your heart that counts...not the size of your nose.  If you are hanging out with people who care more about your looks then I suggest you find new friends.  :)

Actually, it's possible to quit growing in puberty. The most accurate way to tell is if you have an x-ray done at a doctor's. They can tell if your growth plates are closed. I was told at the age of 14 that I would not grow anymore because my growth plates were almost completely closed.

I think you will be alright.  You might talk to a Dr. about it, but I think you pretty much are stuck with whatever nature gives you.  \nI know there are orthopedic surgery solutions to being a dwarf, but I don't believe anyone having surgery like that could ever play basketball.  Besides at your height, no decent Dr. would operate on your legs anyway!\nBut do not despair!  When I got my learner's permit at age 16, I was 6 foot 1 inch.  By age 18 years, I was 6 foot 3 inches.  I grew 2 inches between ages 16 and 18.  AND you are two years younger than that!\nI think it will be close, but you might not make it.  Take up Baseball as well, just in case.  Fast athletes are in demand in that sport as well.
