A member asked:
Used clip to pinch nose for 15-20 seconds no more than 8-10 times. did that change nose shape (thinner, bone bridge bigger)? won't ever do that again!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nose clip to pinch: No - the "skeleton of the nose is made up of bone - near the eyes and cartilage down near the tip. pinching the nose - won't cause permanent damage - it may cause local swelling but should have no lasting effects - why were you doing this??
