Do nose slimmer products really work?

Question

What is the truth and the science behind this type of product? The internet is filled with claims but are the factual? Can a person achieve lasting results by wearing a nose slimmer on the basis that the nose is "flexible"?

Donald B. Yoo, MD, FACS · Answer

None of those nose slimming products will not create any permanent refinement, and with long-term use they may create other complications.

Larry S. Nichter, MD, MS, FACS · Answer

Little truth and no science. If it worked predictably it would be offered as therapy. Potential risks of products that chronically press on the skin are skin injury with scarring, deforming underlying structures including collapsing breathing passages. Sounds like "snake oil" to me.
