Is It True that Nasal Cartilage can be Reshaped with Products such as Nasofix?

Are products that incorporate heat and/or pressure (nasofix, noseright, etc.) effective in reshaping nasal cartilage. The various websites claim that, because cartilage is made up of ~70% water, it can be reshaped via constant pressure over a period of time. Is this claim correct (even if the results are only mild to moderate)?

Proper placement is more important than malleability of facial fillers. If it’s placed right, you shouldn’t have to do a lot of massage with the procedure. Hyaluronic acid fillers are slightly malleable, but you don’t want to depend on that for good results.
