Noses and no-sense !?

Postby Mysteryagain » Tue Sep 29, 2009 10:48 pm

Hi Doctor!!!!!!!!!!

You know I wish my nose was a bit narrower, but it is not something I obsess about neither. My sister has it wider and obsesses more about it. But would not get rhynoplasty.
Anyway, in her looking for info, she bumped into exercises for the face to slim the nose... she told me and I could not believe it... It does not seem to make any sense!!!!!!!!!
I told her I see no biological reason for that to ever work. but wanted to double check with you (my sister teases me about my "asking Dr Lam first" for everything :lol: ).
Here is what she copied:

"Can anyone type out for me the best facial exercises to narrow a widening nose and something to help lift the bridge (due to aging).

Here are some exercises from karmiarchitect (thanks!)

Gently pinch your nose with your thumb on one nostril and your index finger on the other. Press only enough to give some resistance -- do not completely flatten your nostrils. Flare your nostrils against your finger/thumb. Repeat ad nauseum. "

yes, these exercises work. also, you must do a headstand, gently squeeze a lemon between your thighs while you are doing that and recite the mantra, "ommmmmmmm", clicking your heels three times, with you pouring fairy dust on her feet. no, of course, it does not work. if anything, the more you tone the muscles, the bigger the nose will get. complete nonsense.
best,
