Can I use constant pressure to mold my nose cartilage? (photo)

February 3, 2014
Asked By:Iamian123 in Lancaster, PA

I was wondering if light pressure that is applied for hours at a time would slim my nose. I tied a rubber band in a circle and slipped this over the bulbous part of my nose, and it's not painful or uncomfortable. If I keep this on and use it everyday or every other day for months or maybe years, do you think I will see an improvement? Ill post pictures of my nose with the rubber band and without.
