FIELD OF THE INVENTION
-
The utility model belongs to human nose management. More particularly, the invention relates to a device that is clipped outside the nose to make it look as per the desired shape while camouflage makeup is also provided to conceal the shaping device.
DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART
-
Cosmetic surgery, also known as aesthetic surgery, is an elective operation that involves improving a person's appearance. Such operations include liposuction, breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery, and rhytidectomy, also known as a face lift. Rhinoplasty, sometimes referred to as a “nose job” or “nose reshaping” by patients, enhances facial harmony and the proportions of your nose. It can also correct impaired breathing caused by structural defects in the nose.
-
Cosmetic procedures are popular among people that want to enhance select features of their body through surgical and nonsurgical methods. As of 2019, the United States had the largest number of cosmetic procedures with over 3.9 million procedures. Brazil had the second largest number of cosmetic procedures with almost 2.5 million procedures during that year.
-
There are both surgical and nonsurgical options for cosmetic procedures. Surgical procedures include augmentation mammoplasty (breast augmentation), mastopexy, lipoplasty and rhinoplasty, to name a few. In spite of development in this field, many people are afraid of a surgical operation. On the one hand the operation is relatively expensive, and on the other hand it is not without risk since the result does not necessarily correspond to those desired expectations and/or scars remain. Not least, the operation may not be undone, which means that the patient may not first get used to the new nose shape and then subsequently finally make a decision on his new appearance.
-
Minimally invasive, nonsurgical procedures can include botulinum toxin (Botox), chemical peels, dermal fillers and tattoo removal. The top surgical cosmetic procedure globally in 2019 was breast augmentation, followed by liposuction. During that same year the top nonsurgical cosmetic procedure was botulinum toxin (Botox) followed by hyaluronic acid (dermal fillers).

Detailed descriptions of the preferred embodiment are provided herein. It is to be understood, however, that the present invention may be embodied in various forms. Therefore, specific details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but rather as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to employ the present invention in virtually any appropriately detailed system, structure or manner.
-
The assembly aims to provide an advancement in nose reshaping with the simple device provided. The process involves placing the proposed assembly under the nose and to the sides of the nostrils. Once placed it pushes the nose inward, to make it look smaller. The assembly is very thin in nature and can be concealed easily by covering it with makeup products.
-
The assembly as per preferred embodiments is a device as shown in FIG. 1 -FIG. 4 in which two hollow parts (1) and (2) are joined together to provide a nostrils shape device to ensure effective closure. Once placed on the sides and under the nose, the assembly will push the nose inward to make it look smaller.
-
The means for shaping the human nose, in the following called nose shaper, consists essentially of an elastically deformable bow with thickened ends and with a crest formed on the back of the bow. The nose shaper is simple in structure and can be introduced into the nostril and removed again. Since it is elastically formed, on introduction it may be pressed together and brought into the desired position within the nostril, where it acts on the tip of the nose, more accurately and the large nasal cartilage and/or sides of the nose and changes their position.
-
Specifically, this means that the nose tip is lifted, pulled forwards and or the sides of the nose are pressed inwards. The wearer may use the nose shaper without the help of a specialist person. Since the nose shaper may thus be taken out at any time, the user may gradually get used to it or the user may carry it only for special occasions.
-
Preferably the nose shaper is manufactured of metal. In a most simple embodiment form, the nose shaper consists of a single material and is manufactured as one piece.
-
In another embodiment, the core of the nose shaper is manufactured of a relatively hard, bending-resistant material and is surrounded by a soft covering. By way of this, the nose shaper has increased wearing comfort. Furthermore, in the nostril, there is hardly any feeling of touch so the wearer after a short settling-in period no longer perceives the nose shaper.
-
In another embodiment, the assembly is a considerably less expensive variant to the surgical operation. The nose shaper according to the invention may in principle be used for all types of noses. For differing nose sizes, there may be applied different sizes of the nose shaper. It is particularly suitable for the correction or alleviation of noses that are wide and noses which point downwards.
-
While a specific embodiment has been shown and described, many variations are possible. With time, additional features may be employed. The particular shape or configuration of the platform or the interior configuration may be changed to suit the system or equipment with which it is used.
-
