The reason for Voldemort's physical deformity is that he has spent much of the last decade experimenting with Dark Magic. Voldemort's long-term aim was immortality but the Riddle who soaked up magical knowledge like a sponge was I think also immensely curious to uncover the darkest secrets that magic had to hold.
He would've had no qualms about inventing his own hideous spells or performing magic on himself that no other wizard would even contemplate. Voldemort was experimenting with Dark Magic that was uncharted territory in both its complexity and its depravity.
You know my goal - to conquer death. And now, I was tested, and it appeared that one or more of my experiments had worked I could show and tell your students things they can gain from no other wizard. I should be sorry to believe half of them. Clearly creating Horcruxes was part of this process of experimentation. However, the phrase "one or more" certainly implies that Voldemort was experimenting with several different techniques of gaining immortality.
Horcruxes were just one of his options. Remember that Voldemort was a brilliant wizard who mastered magic that perhaps nobody else had even discovered. He had to accumulate that knowledge somehow, and these experiments appear to be a key part of the process of his magical development. What forms of magic Voldemort was experimenting with are never made clear - but I think that we can justly assume that they were all dark and terrible.
Voldemort is therefore a kind of Frankenstein, a dreadful experiment and a perversion against nature. I don't think we can say with any clarity what exact spell ruined his nose or eyes, face or voice. Just that a series of experiments with Dark Magic periodically deformed his appearance. Dumbledore at least seemed to think that the soul-mutilation from creating the Horcruxes had a large part to play.
Although, according to Mad-Eye Moody, malfunctioning wands can cause nasty accidents which can result in physical deformities. Who knows what other body parts Voldemort lost in his experiments with Dark Magic? Better wizards than you have lost buttocks, you know!
Voldemort's appearance became more snake-like as he delved deeper into Dark Magic, and his face became more serpentine, which would presumably explain the flattening of his nose. Mention of Voldemort's serpentine appearance is mentioned in every book. It's theorized that each murder Voldemort committed, the more distorted his face became.
There is a scene where Dumbledore shows Harry a memory of Voldemort after he resurfaced after being gone for ten years. He came to hide the Ravenclaw Horcrux and to ask Dumbledore, who was newly appointed headmaster, for the Defence Against the Dark Arts position, and his appearance is drastically changed this would be been around circa from when he had gone to work at Borgin and Burkes ten years prior.
It's fair to speculate Voldemort was deeply involved in Dark Magic; Dumbledore notes that he hopes "half of what he's heard about Voldemort's Dark Arts activities isn't true. Regarding the movies, super short answer: CGI removed Voldemort's nose. A pointed nose is a nose that comes to a point at the very end. Whereas, a flat nose is a nose that does not have a point and is rather flat.
It's a special effect. Ralph Fiennes is filmed with dots on his face so that they can be tracked by a computer. In post-production, that information is used to digitally alter his nose. Flat nose pliers are to hold and grip things, or to twist wires together as for electrical connections. Your cartilage the bit between your nose is actually flat. If you touch your nose you'll see that the area in which nose pierces are typically done is not a flat area.
The area itself is inclined. Therefore, in order to have nose studs lay flat on you nose, the piercer will match the angle of the piercing to the incline of your nose. This results in almost all nose piercings being done at an angle. I guess Merope Gaunt. Tom Riddle. The Riddles and the Marovolos. Fat with a flat nose. Most Likely. Snakes were his preference, but his inhabiting of their meager bodies shortened their lifespans considerably.
Possessing a human was out of the question, as aurors were still abroad and looking for him. He was at his most powerless in this era, and years later, he would describe it as a period of despair and hopelessness.
Just when all seemed lost, into the forest wandered Professor Quirrell. A gullible man bound for Hogwarts, he'd nearly come gift-wrapped for Voldemort's purposes.
Though he could only manifest as a face on the back of Quirrell's head, Voldemort had regained a body, and with it, a sense of purpose. Voldemort's time with Quirrell came to an end, of course. Harry Potter, ever the hero, drove him from the hapless professor's body and into the shadows once more. But this time, Voldemort wouldn't be confined to the nooks and crannies of the world for a decade.
This time, he found help. Peter Pettigrew, the man who betrayed Harry's family for the sake of the Dark Lord's favor, found his master once more in the forests of Albania. Though Pettigrew was a cringing coward, he proved critically important to Voldemort's plans. Using snake venom and unicorn blood, the two concocted a rudimentary body for Voldemort to inhabit. Harry, upon seeing it at the climax of Goblet of Fire , describes it as "ugly, slimy, and blind It was hairless and scaly-looking, a dark, raw, reddish black.
Its arms and legs were thin and feeble, and its face — no child alive ever had a face like that — was flat and snake-like, with gleaming red eyes. He was shrunken and weak, to be sure — but not for long. Though Voldemort did not succeed in murdering Harry Potter, he did accomplish everything else he'd set out to do that fateful night in the Little Hangleton graveyard: he gathered his followers, reasserted his command, and regained his body through a rite of dark, blood-based magic.
Voldemort, still infantile, was lowered into a potion made from these macabre ingredients. From it, he emerged as the man he had been: "Whiter than a skull, with wide, livid scarlet eyes and a nose that was flat as a snake's but with slits for nostrils. Robed in black by the ever-slavish Pettigrew, he strode once more among his Death Eaters and forced Harry to duel him — unwisely, it turned out, as Harry escaped back to Hogwarts using the Portkey that had brought him to the graveyard.
This was a disappointment to be sure, but a passing one. Voldemort had his freedom of movement back, his ability to perform magic restored, and his intimidating figure re-established. Though few knew it until the following year's battle in the Ministry of Magic, the Second Wizarding War had begun.
Three years of terror ensued. Friends, leaders, and innocents fell to the Death Eaters. Hogwarts went from the safest place in the wizarding world to an active battleground. Harry, Ron, and Hermione went on the run, broke into Gringotts Bank, and nearly came to blows during the endless hunt for horcruxes.
