I used a product a while back that was like a clip to put on my nose that i hoped would make it look smaller and thinner but it raised my nose bridge higher than i would like. It has been many months of not using the clip and my nose bridge has not gone back to before i used the clip and it is much to high. It is still straight without any humps but it is raised making my nose stick out from my face much more. Anything i can do other than surgery to get my nasal bridge back the way it was?

Answer: Only rhinoplasty can successfully lower the nasal bridge. No “clip” put on the nose will do it.
Hi,
I doubt there is any validty to this. I don't think there are any clinical or scientific studies on this. Remember the human body is 70% water... that means that girdles should replace liposuction if the same logic applies.

Some surgeons promote a "liquid non-surgical rhinoplasty" in which fillers are used to augment the nose. Fillers are injected intradermally and subcutaneously to reshape the nose. Most fillers last at least 6 months to a year and at times the filler remains for an extended period of...
If the skin on the tip of your nose is thickened from chronic Acne Rosacea (Rhinophyma), it can be reduced by either Laser Resurfacing or by the Ellman machine on Cutting/coagulation mode.
For mild cases, not necessarily Rhinophyma, Laser resurfacing alone can be effective. in many cases.
