Wearing plastic nasal cones - does it help with collapsed, narrow, uneven nostrils? (Photo)

Asked By:soprano drammatico in Laguna Beach, CA

My revision rhinoplasty wasx years ago. My nostrils became increasingly worse. My primary surgeon did an alar base reduction but, I think that is not what is causing the problems. I work by myself, I wear these nasal cones almost 20 hours per day. Will they help to make the nostrils more natural and symmetrical? From what I understand, there is a certain degree of plasticity in human tissue, and that is why people get dents near the nose bridge from wearing glasses. Columella is crooked too
