‘Looks dangerous,’ beauty fans cry after viral trend ‘real nose job’

A beauty trend that involves getting a ‘real nose job’ has been heavily criticised by medical professionals, who are advising people not to do it.

A UK audit of cosmetic surgery has found a 16 per cent drop in procedures due to the economic crisis and an increase in complications from procedures performed abroad. BAAPS.

So it’s no surprise that Britons are looking for other solutions to enhance their faces.

And since surgery is expensive and also carries a certain amount of risk, it is understandable that home treatments are attractive to some.

This could be why a tiny device that instantly changes the shape of your nose is currently going viral on TikTok.

The nose lift is a beauty tool that you can buy from Amazon. It is made of soft silicone.

They are ‘easily’ inserted into the nose and a device is also included to ‘easily’ remove the inserts.

Beauty fans have taken to TikTok to show off how to use the device.

Huda, who is known as ‘nonsense‘ on TikTok, the difference the tool has made in front of her.

It works by inserting the device into your nostril and pushing it upwards.

The idea is to pull your nose up, “and you get to see what you look like after you have a nose job.”

She shows you how to use it and says, “This looks disgusting, but this is how you fake a nose job.”

The video she shared on TikTok has been viewed more than 4.4 million times, with many people shocked by the device.

One wrote: “These look dangerous,” while another added: “That doesn’t look safe,” to which Huda replied that it “probably isn’t.”

Another beauty fan warned: “Don’t do it! I bought it [and] regretted it! [It] Almost all the way up my nose. I had to blow it out while holding one nostril closed. I was so scared!”

And medical professionals are urgently warning about this trend.

Relying on unproven methods may carry potential dangers, such as damage to nasal tissue or permanent disfigurement, that far outweigh any purported benefits.

Dr. Vishal Aggarwal, medical expert at Healthium Clinics, said: “Rhinoplasty devices are mechanical and work by temporarily applying pressure to the nose.

“Some devices are designed to be placed inside the nostrils, while others are intended to be clipped to the outside of the nose at the tip.

“The internal appliances are curved plastic splints that claim to ‘instantly correct’ the shape of the nose.

“When inserted, they can temporarily make the nose appear narrower or straighter.

“With external clamps, the device manufacturers claim that the device will change the shape of the cartilage, reshaping the nose within a few weeks.”

Why is this so dangerous?

Dr. Vishal Aggarwal, medical expert at Healthium Clinicssaid:

“At-home rhinoplasty devices are marketed as an effective alternative and are seen as an affordable and easy way to improve the shape of the nose without the need for a rhinoplasty.

“However, these small U-shaped devices may not be an effective solution.

“In addition, the dangers may outweigh the potential benefits, so buyers should exercise caution.

“It is important to understand the anatomy of the nose and how tissues respond to manipulation. The front of the nose is composed primarily of cartilage, which provides structure and shape while remaining flexible.

“Unlike the soft and flexible tissue of the earlobe, which can be gradually stretched over time, cartilage is less sensitive to such mechanical manipulation.

Techniques such as tissue stretching are effective for soft tissues, but less effective for cartilage, which is not as easily renewed.

“Stretching and reshaping methods for conditions like phimosis work by gradually expanding soft tissue. In the nose, the cartilage does not stretch or reshape in the same way, making the claims of these home devices questionable.

“Furthermore, no rigorous scientific evidence supports the effectiveness of these devices in permanently changing the shape of the nose. The temporary effects seen with internal splints are just that: temporary.

“Relying on unproven methods may carry potential dangers, such as damage to nasal tissue or permanent disfigurement, that far outweigh any purported benefits.

“In addition, there is a risk that non-medical grade material will be lost into the nasal cavity, partially degrade and create an environment for infection, which could impair breathing or cause trauma.

“While the idea of ​​nonsurgical rhinoplasty may be appealing, the anatomical realities, the lack of rigorous evidence, and the very real potential for side effects suggest that these devices are probably not worth the potential risks.

“As a consumer, you are the one who makes the final decision, but I encourage everyone to approach such promises with common sense and healthy skepticism and to consult a doctor first if you have any aesthetic concerns.”
