About 3 weeks ago, I started using a nose clip on my nose to try to create a higher nose. After one week of wearing it for several hours a day, my nose bridge increased substantially and got significantly narrower. However, it also created two ugly indentations on the nose bridge, so I stopped wearing the clip, hoping my nose will change back.
