I recently came across a device called Nose Magic that claims to be able to reshape the nose by applying pressure to the cartilage. I am tempted to try it even though it seems to good to be true because I device is relatively inexpensive. Am I risking permanent damage to my nose by using this device? Also, has any doctor actually tried one of these devices before dismissing it as ineffective?

Answer: Nose Reshaping Devices These types of reshaping devices are not effective and could even be dangerous in some cases, as they could cause injury to the skin, bone, cartilage, or soft tissue. In many cases, nasal asymmetries can be corrected through non-surgical treatments or even very quick and easy minor surgical procedures under local anesthesia. There are many different options available, but I generally recommend to avoid any type of nose reshaping device.

Answer: Symmetry correction Hi there and many thanks for your interesting case. I often improve nose symmetry using dermal filler injections during non-surgical rhinoplasty. However, I would not recommend the use of any 'nose magic' devices as there is simply no evidence to suggest they work. Hope this helps and best wishes, Dr Rupert
