Many people around the world spend a lot of money on aesthetic surgeries to get a perfect nose. These interventions are expensive and can lead to unexpected complications. Unfortunately, very few people know that they can change both the shape and length of their nose with incredibly simple exercises.
So, if you want to correct your nose a little, then use these very simple exercises that will help you achieve the desired result.
Nose cycling
The bones, facial muscles and cartilage in the nose area are most susceptible to aging. As a result, your facial features may change and make it appear larger. Luckily, this exercise can help you shorten it:
- Place one of your index fingers on the tip of your nose. You can also apply gentle pressure to it.
- As you grow, begin to slightly raise the tip.
- Repeat this movement for about a minute and as many times a day as possible.
If you want to get the nose of your dreams, then there is another version of this technique:
- Place your thumb and index finger on the wings of your nose.
- Use the index finger of your free hand to gently push the tip of your nose upward.
- The bulk of this exercise involves your upper lip. You need to use some force to pull it down. After a couple of seconds you can release it. This way, the tip of your nose will be pressed repeatedly against your index finger.
- Repeat this movement 10 to 15 times and then rest.
Try to do this exercise as often as you can over a long period of time.
Thread lift
With the help of thread lifting, only one cosmetic defect can be corrected - drooping of the tip of the nose, caused by individual characteristics or age-related changes in soft tissues. Along the way, you can adjust the shape of the nostrils, but to a very slight extent.
The essence of the procedure is as follows: threads are inserted into the tip of the nose, which are used in cosmetology for facial rejuvenation. The threads are pulled and fixed to the structures located above, due to which the drooping tip is raised.
Advantages of thread plastic surgery. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and lasts no more than half an hour. Tissue trauma is minimal and there is no blood loss. Recovery is fast, without discomfort, pain or swelling.
Disadvantages of thread lifting. The limited capabilities of the procedure are its main drawback. Only tip drooping can be corrected. The effect lasts for a year, after which the threads dissolve and the soft tissue returns to its original position.
Shaping the nose
This workout will help you shape your nose and make it more precise:
- Press the sides of your breathing organ with your index fingers and exhale. Try not to put too much pressure on the skin.
- You can also lightly shape your nose by pressing on both sides with your index fingers and opening your nostrils;
This exercise mainly develops the muscles around the nose area. At the same time, they are crucial if you want to keep your nose in shape. You should also start moving your nose while keeping your face completely still. It may be harder than it seems, but it will get easier over time.
Do the exercise for half a minute to 60 seconds. If you regularly apply these methods, there are many chances that your nose will become more beautiful. Plus, these exercises are extremely effective if you want to prevent sagging.
Indications for non-surgical rhinoplasty
Of all the methods discussed above, three deserve trust: contouring using dermal filler, lipofilling and thread lifting. These methods are most effective when used in comprehensive rejuvenation and improvement of facial aesthetics. Thread lifting can be performed simultaneously with rejuvenation of the middle third of the face, contour plastic surgery and lipofilling - together with solving problems caused by age-related tissue deficiency and disruption of the facial relief inherent in youth. They are used less frequently as independent procedures.
The non-surgical rhinoplasty method, based on the administration of hormonal drugs, is dangerous. The aesthetic result is largely unpredictable, and the risks of medical and aesthetic complications are high. Exercises, massage and braces are ineffective, no matter how hard the authors of these methods try to convince you otherwise.

- open your mouth as if you were saying the letter “o”;
- press on the nostrils with your index fingers, but do not completely block the air flow, because you need to continue breathing through the nose;
- begin to breathe deeply, while widening your nostrils.
To sculpt your nose, you need to repeat this workout several times a day if you really want to see positive results.
Plastic surgery with hormonal drugs
The method of nose correction using injections of hormonal drugs is the most controversial. The principle of the procedure is the controlled destruction of cartilage tissue through the introduction of hormones that have a catabolic effect. (As a rule, adrenal hormones and corticosteroids are used).
An indication for plastic surgery with hormonal drugs may be a hump, asymmetry, or the patient’s desire to change the shape of the nose. This technique cannot correct severe post-traumatic deformities.
Disadvantages of the technique. The main problem is that hormones have a destructive effect not only on cartilage, but also on soft tissue. In fact, it is extremely difficult to control the degree and depth of destruction. There is a high risk of excessive correction, which leads to deformation, asymmetry and disruption of harmonious proportions.
There are cases where, after modeling the nose with the help of hormones, deformations developed, which can only be corrected during reconstructive rhinoplasty. Considering the high risks, this technique should be called dangerous and the effect unpredictable.
Breathing exercises to support your nose shape
To complete the task, sit comfortably and relax. Then block one of your nostrils and inhale through the other. Count to three while breathing, and then exhale quickly. After this, do the same on the other nostril.

Do three repetitions of this exercise 10 times.
How long does it take to achieve results?
Most often, noticeable results can be noted 2-4 weeks after the start of gymnastics. It depends on the person’s age and individual facial parameters. If after a month there are no visible changes, perhaps the classes are not conducted intensively enough, irregularly, or the exercise is selected or performed incorrectly.
Exercises to reduce your nose are recommended to be performed every day for 2 weeks, and when progress is evident, the regularity of training can be reduced to 2-3 times a week. If, having achieved what you want, you stop doing face-building, your nose will gradually return to its original shape and size, so it is recommended not to quit.
Removing Smile Lines Around Your Nose
To remove nasolabial folds, fill your mouth with air. After this, start moving it in your mouth in all directions. Continue doing this for 30 seconds to a minute and then release the air.
Another exercise to solve this problem is to place the middle fingers of your right and left hands on the sides of your mouth. Pull your fingers upward, trying to do it as softly as possible. Your goal is to stretch the skin towards your temples. Maintain this stretch and purse your lips as if you were pouting. Hold this for about 10 seconds. Repeat this exercise 10 times.

Reviews about nose reduction without surgery
Elina Ignateeva, Tula Since childhood, I have had a small defect in my nose - a hump. And the nose was quite large, which only emphasized the flaw. It might seem like a small thing, but it really interferes with my life. After the last breakup with a guy, the reason for which, as it seems to me, was my appearance, I simply fell into despair. I started scouring the internet looking for a way to fix the situation. There was no talk about rhinoplasty surgery for the hump of the nose; I have heart problems, so anesthesia is contraindicated. On one of the sites I came across an article about a rhinocorrector. I became interested, read the reviews, and decided to order. The price wasn't so high that you couldn't try it. I wore it at home and practically without taking it off at night, the result became noticeable after about three months. It’s not that the hump has completely gone away, but it has become visible only to me. The nose became significantly smaller, the splint helped get rid of excess tissue. At work we were shocked how you can change your nose without surgery. I’m happy, I think my personal life will improve.
Reducing your nose yourself using cosmetics
If you don’t have time to exercise, and you urgently need to improve the shape of your nose, at home, the secrets of experienced makeup artists will help. It’s very easy and simple - you just need to stock up on brushes and sponges for applying makeup and at least two shades (light and dark) of foundation (a set of cream correctors and concealers is perfect).
- If you need to visually reduce your nose using potatoes at home, you need to apply a darker corrector to its side parts, and a light one exactly in the middle. Blend the border with a brush so that it is not too obvious.
- If your nose, on the contrary, is too narrow and pointed, you should do exactly the opposite: apply a light corrector to the sides and shade it.
- If your nose is long and hangs over the upper lip, apply a dark corrector to its tip and blend thoroughly.
- If the nose is very short, its tip should be covered with a light corrector or highlighter (with reflective particles) - this will make it seem a little longer and more sophisticated.
- For a snub-nosed, upturned nose, you can use this trick: apply a dark concealer pointwise to the middle, without extending the dark stripe along the bridge or tip, and blend.
- The same technique will help hide the hump - apply a dark tone to its area, blend it and cover it with matte powder on top.
Now you know whether you can reduce your nose at home and how to achieve this. Adopt all the listed techniques and become more beautiful and perfect!
Sets of exercises for correcting the nose at home
To perform gymnastics competently, control is necessary, so you need to perform it in front of a mirror, carefully making sure that there is no tension in the back of the head, the rest of the facial muscles, neck and shoulders. If puffiness and swelling appear after performing the exercises, you should reduce the pressure on the nasal muscles and reduce the number of repetitions.

It is better to increase the load gradually as the muscles strengthen. You should not be lazy and skip face-building classes until obvious progress has appeared, otherwise your time will be wasted. Regularity is the key to successful results.
Alignment
If there is asymmetry of the nose, if the tip is curved to the right or left, the solution will be the following exercise: the starting position, order of execution and number of repetitions are the same as in Carol Maggio’s multifunctional exercise, only you need to press with your finger not from below, but from the edge where the nose is tilted , moving the tip “into place.”
When your nose straightens out, you shouldn’t suddenly quit training ; you need to do gymnastics for at least a couple more weeks in order to consolidate the positive dynamics, after which you can switch to the Carol Maggio multifunctional exercise to maintain progress.
Narrowing
The exercises for reducing the nose described below, in addition to narrowing, strengthen and tighten the internal muscles of the nose, smooth out nasolabial folds and strengthen the subnasal area.
- First: open your lips and lift the tip of your nose with your fingertip to expose your teeth. Tuck your lip inward and try to pull it back over your teeth, feeling the resistance of your finger. Do 40 times.
- Second: lower your chin to your chest and open your lips, while your nose stretches out. Hold for 7 seconds, then close your mouth. It is recommended to do two sets a day of 30 repetitions.
- Third: bring your chin to your chest and open your mouth, pressing your nostrils with the pads of your index fingers. Looking up is important without wrinkling the skin on your forehead. Flare your nostrils for 10 seconds, then take a short break and perform two more of the same approaches.
Reducing the nose with a “potato”
- Using your index finger, press the nasal cartilage from below so that it rises slightly. Deep transverse creases should not appear on it. Contracting the lateral nasal muscles, press your nose onto your finger. Do 20 quick movements, take a 10-second break and repeat the exercise. Shifting your eyebrows and pursing your lips is wrong; your face should be as relaxed as possible.
- Option two: point out your index fingers, clench the remaining fingers loosely into a fist. There should be no excessive tension in the fingers and hands. With straight index fingers positioned horizontally, you need to tap the area under the nose without touching the tip of the nose. The greatest attention should be paid to the place where the nostrils begin. Perform 35-40 repetitions.
FlexEffect to strengthen and smooth the sides of the nose
Wide nasal wings become less pronounced if you place your middle fingers close to them and wrinkle your nose. Stay in this position for 6 seconds. Do it 5 times every day. The ugly shape of the nostrils can be corrected by stroking them with light pressure with your thumbs from top to bottom. Perform 10 times.
If the nasal wings sink, they can be straightened. Insert your thumbs into the nostrils, and place your index fingers on the cavities of the wings of the nose. Make a movement with your thumb, as if trying to turn your nostrils outward, while simultaneously straining your nasal muscles. Freeze for 6 seconds. Do at least 5-6 repetitions.
Place your middle fingers on the indentations of the wings of the nose. Wrinkle your nose and tense your nostrils. Using significant pressure, run your fingers along the wings of the nose to its base 3-5 times, stretching the movement for 6 seconds.
Correction of a hump
Exercises to reduce the size of the nose will help smooth out a small hump; if it is pronounced, they will not eliminate the problem completely, but will slightly reduce the protruding part. The multifunctional exercise described above from cosmetologist Carol Maggio will help cope with the defect.
In addition to it, you can simply press hard on the protruding part that you want to smooth out, and hold it as long as you have patience. It is important not to overdo it, otherwise unsightly redness will appear on the skin.
Leveling the sunken area between the nose and cheeks
Option one makes a smooth transition from the nose to the cheeks and combats sunken eye sockets. Place the pads of your middle fingers on the hollows near the inner corners of your eyes, your ring fingers themselves will rest comfortably on the bridge of your nose. Wrinkle your nose strongly and slowly smooth out the resulting wrinkles with your fingers, pressing firmly and slowly moving them from top to bottom.
This movement should end at the bottom of the nostrils and take 6 seconds. 3-5 repetitions are enough.
Option two makes the furrow between the nose and cheeks less deep. Place your index fingers on the problem area, wrinkle your nose and flare your nostrils. The mouth should be relaxed and closed; there is no need to move it. Then relax the muscles. Recommended number of repetitions is 10.
Raising the tip of the nose
Place your index fingers and thumbs around your eyes, simulating binoculars. Your thumbnails should be on the bridge of your nose. The pressure should be noticeable; you should not reduce it, as it prevents the formation of wrinkles in the area around the eyes.
Wrinkle your nose, raising your upper lip and exposing your teeth. After 5 seconds, give the muscles a rest. Do the procedure 10 times. The massive overhanging tip of the nose will take on a more chiseled shape, the back will be strengthened and the contour of the upper lip will be more attractive.
Correction of the nasal septum
Exercises to reduce the size of the nose are powerless to eliminate a septal defect. However, they will help relieve difficulty breathing, soothe the mucous membranes, strengthen blood vessels and relieve swelling.
- Massage the sinuses: apply propolis-based cream to them and rub it into the skin in a circular motion. It is better to perform these manipulations in the evenings before going to bed.
- Second method: dissolve a pinch of sea salt in warm filtered water. Take the resulting solution alternately with both nostrils, hold it in the nasopharynx for a while, and then sharply push it out. A painful sensation will appear. Repeat until the pain subsides completely. Regular implementation of the procedure will help avoid rhinitis.
- Lightly tapping your nostrils and the bridge of your nose with your fingers , inhale, then exhale completely without pausing and stop breathing for a couple of moments. Do 2-3 sets a day 10 times at first, and after nasal breathing is restored - 1 time a day.
- With your mouth tightly closed, hum any song, feeling the vibration in your nose.
- Open your lips and stretch your upper jaw towards your lower jaw , avoiding the formation of wrinkles in the corners of your mouth. The tip of the nose will move down, the nostrils will move closer together, and tension will appear under the sinuses. Do not frown your eyebrows or forehead. Wait 2-3 seconds, then give all muscles a rest, then continue again, making the largest number of approaches, this will allow the septum muscle to strengthen faster.
- “Ear-nose” exercise to straighten a deformed septum - place your index finger on the side of the nose in which the septum is displaced, and press firmly so that it stands straight. Do it as many times as you have patience for, and as often as possible.
Clamps and splints
On sale you can find nasal correctors from the brands NoseUp, Rhinocorrect, etc. These are clips that are attached to the nose. They need to be worn 2-3 hours a day so that, according to the manufacturers, a result comparable to plastic surgery appears.
In fact, correctors are completely ineffective. You cannot fix your nose by putting short-term pressure on it.
A splint is a device made of plaster or plastic. It is used to correct the contour of the nose. The splint puts pressure on the cartilage and corrects defects - it narrows the wings, raises the tip, smoothes out the hump (if it is completely cartilaginous). However, you don’t need to expect colossal changes - the correction will be very minor, and the effect will be short-lived if you stop using the corrector.
Doctor's recommendations during the rehabilitation period, possible complications
Full recovery will take up to three months. During this period, swelling and residual hematomas around the eyes still persist. The main requirement during this period is to avoid injury.
During the recovery period, you must follow simple rules:
- You need to sleep only on your back;
- do not wear glasses for three months;
- exclude physical activity;
