Do nose lifting exercises actually lift nose?of course the bone in your nose can't change without surgery, but can the cartilage be lifted/manipulated?

Not really. : The skin may be tightened but your not going to really move the cartilage. Plus the muscles may actually cause wrinkles if they get stronger. Usually surgery is what's needed to change the a shape of your nose.

I have a patch of exposed cartilage (doctor confirmed) the size of the end of a Q-tip on my septum inside my nose, likely caused by damaged blood supply from septoplasty. I am three weeks post-surgery. Will skin heal over this? How long?
