Do Nose exercises work? Can you really change the nose with facial exercises, pinching, pulling, or by blowing it?

I have seen devices advertised on the internet that are designed to change the appearance of people's noses. My advice would be to save your money and not purchase them. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph

Can you change your nose with facial exercises?Unfortunately it would be futile to try to change your nose with facial exercises, pulling, pinching, etc. The only thing that might be possible would be to stretch a nostril by about a half a millimeter by constantly stretching it over a long period of time with one’s finger. And even that could probably only gain about a half a millimeter.

No, nose exercises do not work. Below the skin of the nose, there is cartilage and bone which must be surgically altered in order to change the shape. In our practice, we perform closed rhinoplasty with all the incisions placed on the inside of the nose.
