Asked By:hah990 in Warwick, RI

The tip of my nose is too long and I can shorten it using pressure and when i do it looks a lot better. The problem is its only temporary and returns to its original shape after a few minutes. Is there a way to make it permanent? If i keep doing it overtime will it eventually change shape permanently? I dont want rhinoplasty so i'm trying alternative methods.
