Does nose clips work? Will it make my nose smaller?

Question

This might be a very stupid question, but my nose is pretty wide. I don't know how to precisely describe my nose, but I am Vietnamese and it is pretty wide. There are people that have been taking cheek piercing, and some of them have been getting dimples by wearing the piercing for a long time. So I wonder if I wear a nose clip for a while, will it change my nose?

In general, repair of a bulbous nasal tip appearance will require rhinoplasty surgery. If you have severe dissatisfaction with the appearance of your nose, please consider visiting several reputable rhinoplasty specialists so you could understand what to expect moving forward. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Hi ChanLi, 
It sounds like what you're describing is that you're unhappy with the appearance of your nose being too wide. This is a difficult thing to alter non-surgically, with most people recommending surgical intervention to make any sort of meaningful impact on the shape and appearance of the width of the nose. I'd suggest that you seek in person consultation with a rhinoplasty specialist for examination and discussion of options.
