Do Nose Reshaping Devices Work? I Am Trying to Correct an Asymmetrical Nose Tip. (photo)

Based on your photo, rhinoplasty surgery may be considered for achieving a narrower and more symetrical nasal tip appearance. I do not believe in magic - it is completely hocus pocus. Caveat emptor! Dr Joseph

Cartilage is resilient and will go back to it's original form right after taking any devices off. The only cartilage shaping device that works is when a baby is born with a deformed ear. Placing a device on the ear for a few months can create a more normal shape. This is when the cartialge is still forming. After babies are 6 months old, even these devices do not work.

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.
Be sure to consult with a rhinoplasty expert before attempting any nasal changes.
All the best,

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

I'm not aware of this device; however, I have not seen any scientific evidence for any mechanical device that shapes the nasal cartilage found over the counter or without surgery.  Good Luck!

Unfortunately there is no device or technology currently available that can produce effects and safety of a properly performed rhinoplasty.

An effective means of shaping the nose is surgery or filler rhinoplasty. Devices using pressure from the outside of the nose would not have any affect on the cartilage of the nose, and would probably only cause some bruising or irritation from continuous pressure on the skin. 
As a rule of thumb, if you are considering permanent cosmetic changes to your face (i.e. the shape of your nose, in this case), you should never attempt to make these changes yourself. The risks will always significantly outweigh any rewards, and you could permanently injure yourself or cause irreversible damage to your face. Trust your face to a board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon.

Good morning, it will be only a waste of money, your nose needs a rhinoplasty, only with surgery you can reduce the shape and correct the asymmetry of your nasal tip, don't waste money with not surgical procedure, doesn't work in your case, best regards

Dear Greenman,
Thank you for your question.
I wish it did, but no mechanical device can reshape an already formed adult nose. 
You need not worry about permament damage though. 
Non surgically for your nose, your options include
1. Botox
2. Dermal Fillers
3. Threadlift
Best to seek an expert who could explain what works best for you.

These devices, unfortunately, do not work.  While it seems like a good idea and easy and cheap enough to try, there is no science behind this.  Your nose is made up skin, cartilage, bone, and mucosa which is the inner lining of your nostrils.  Cartilage and bone primarily give your nose its shape. These are not malleable and, therefore, cannot be shaped as an adult in any way other than surgery.  The amount of external pressure needed to cause any changes would result in a fracture of both.  If the appearance of your nose bothers you, I would research rhinoplasty or fillers as these are proven and effective means to change the appearance of the nose.
