Permanent Change in Nose Shape After Nose Huggie?

Can something like the Nose Huggie really alter the shape of your nose permanently? It's basically a nose clip, that they claim will change the shape of your nose overtime.

Fillers and Surgery change the shape of the nose

While a gimmick product such as the Nose Huggie might compress the skin temporarily, thereby changing the shape of your nose, it is extremely unlikely to result in a permanent and cosmetic change. Be careful of products that promise a great deal but have no testing or other verifiable proof to back up their claims.

NO!

Hi, In today's world there is a lot of hype and over promised results from different plastic surgery providers. As a consumer you have to do your own research and be aware. Although any tissue including bone is moldable over time, the results that this product website claims are impossible and way too good to be true.

I found this interesting, so thought I'd throw in my two cents, doc or no doc. Don't they use compression garments after surgery to keep down swelling? I bet that's how whoever invented this got the idea. Certainly if yr nose is swollen from allergies or whatever you could keep it down with this. So while the docs on here say no, I have to admit it seems a tiny bit possible. Also, this reminded me of foot binding in ancient China when they were obsessed with feet, and reshaped actual BONE. We now think of this as horrifyingly barbaric....which then makes me wonder what THEY would have thought of us breaking nasal bones, opening up faces, etc., to make OURSELVES beautiful....hmm food for thought for all of us. Or maybe they would have done exactly what we do, had they been able to. And one more thing that makes me think this nose huggie thing might work on the tip -- if you bind something often or long enough, like all night or something, wouldn't it over time work a bit, since that's much how crow's feet are formed from squinting?
