Can someone please explain why nose exercises do not work? Why is it better for me to get surgery please?

Asked By:Friendly9360 in Avon Park, Florida

Recently I’ve seen videos and read articles that promote nose exercises by pulling, pinching, blowing the nose, and even rubbing the nasal bridge to lift the tip up. All of these things claim to guarantee a slimmer and sharper nose. However, can someone please explain why and if this is even at all possible? ,why is it just better for me to get a rhinoplasty if these exercises claim to do the same thing? Will my nose get bigger from doing the exercises?
