Ways to reduce nose width / make the nose

[1armfrontlever]

I’ve been looking into non-surgical ways people claim to reduce nose width or make the nose look narrower. I’ve seen quite a few different methods mentioned and I’m curious which ones actually have any evidence or long-term results.

Some things I’ve come across:

• hydrocortisone creams being used for reducing inflammation/swelling around the nose
• retinoids such as tretinoin/retinol for skin remodeling and making the nose look more defined
• azelaic acid for reducing inflammation/redness
• dermastamping/dermarolling combined with retinoids or azelaic acid
• nose pinching/clenching or other forms of repeated mechanical pressure
• other topical products or methods that supposedly change nasal tissue

I’m mainly interested in whether any of these can actually change the apparent width or structure of the nose, rather than just temporarily reducing puffiness.

If anyone has researched this deeply or has long-term experience, I’d be interested in:

• what can actually change cartilage/bone vs only soft tissue
• temporary vs lasting effects
• whether repeated mechanical pressure has any documented effect
• whether retinoids can meaningfully remodel nasal skin/connective tissue
• whether reducing inflammation can noticeably change perceived nose width
• any medical studies, case reports, or less commonly discussed methods

Not looking for instructions for DIY procedures, just trying to figure out which claims have some actual basis and which are mostly forum theory.

For the most part, it’s just reducing swelling. If you want a permanent change, the only real option is cosmetic surgery. Topical creams won’t do anything.

try looking into triamcinolone acetonide, I've heard it helps but takes a while

are the effects permanent?

yes most likely, it reduces the look of a swollen nose I’m pretty sure. There’s a girl that tried it I can send u the results in a sec
