Nose Secret: DIY rhinoplasty, safe or unsafe? (Photo)

August 16, 2014
Asked By:cocoabutterkisses in MA

Hi there doctors, so there's a product I recently bumped into during my research, it's called nose secret. Basically, the way it works is that you stick splints into the nostrils for a more contoured nose. Do you think this product can damage a nose or is it a great way to get used to having a new nose. I'm including pics just for reference so you can see what a mess of a nose I'm dealing with. I wouldn't mind a temporary solution as I save for surgery and search for the perfect surgeon fit.
