Doctors warn against instant nose job products promising ‘quick fix’
Last year, Filipino YouTuber Raiza Contawi posted a video showing how to achieve an “instant nose job”.
Using a hook-shaped tool, Raiza demonstrated how her viewers could achieve the look of having a nose job – without going under the knife.
The product she used boasts the ability to create a variety of nasal shapes but, according to doctors, it will do more harm than good.
An Australian doctor is now warning people against using products like these, saying the device is simply too good to be true.
Professor Richard Harvey is currently head of rhinology at the University of New South Wales in Australia, and says products like these can be incredibly dangerous.
With the possibility of damaging the cartilage framework of the nose, Professor Harvey warns that it can also damage the lining of the organ and cause ulcers.
His advice to those wanting to change the appearance of their nose? Go the more traditional route, and speak to a medical professional about their options.
