This is Nose Secret
It’s no secret that we really wanted to make fun of Nose Secret, the plastic splints you squeeze into your nostrils to temporarily straighten and streamline your nose.
C’mon – a bent piece of plastic with balls at each end that you squeeze and pinch and shove up your nose to make it look better? Imagine a dilapidated porch on the front of a farmhouse, propped up by a couple of 2x4s. That’s the basic idea behind Nose Secret, and while we at LookinGood are fans of piercing and picking them when necessary, this sounded disgusting and dumb.
Much to our surprise, though, everyone who has gotten past the “ick” factor and used the silly things, loves the product. It works for them. And we’ve gotta say, some of the before-and-after pictures, like the one we used above from the citygeisha.com blog, are downright cute.
Nose Secret bills itself as instant nose correction, suggesting the little device as an alternative to a surgical nose job. It claims to make a thick nose look thinner, a hooked nose straighter and a crooked nose less bent. The testimonials from men and women are pretty amazing, even though the video on YouTube is not. Your $34.95 gets you the starter kit consisting of the splints in all three sizes: small, medium and large.
Once you get past the hangup most users had – the idea that you might snort one of the thing so far in you can’t get it back out – you figure out what size your nose needs and follow the placement instructions. The little devices are supposed to be invisible to the outside world, and the company suggests you wear them for short periods of time at first to get used to the feeling. One user suggests tying strings to them (not in public of course), to help eliminate the worry that they’ll slip too far up your snout to remove.
Nose Secret gets a mention on RealSelf.com from a plastic surgeon who probably does a lot of nose jobs and who comes down against it. On MakeupAlley.com, however, another site that offers user testimonials, the product earned a 4.4 out of 5 rating.
If you’re thinking about trying it, the Nose Secret website cautions against wearing the device while sleeping, swimming, working out or doing any strenuous physical exercise. No one mentions what happens when they sneeze. If those babies go flying, your secret’s out.
I am not a staff member at all- I am an African American with an extremely short nose that can best be described as having a medium width. (picture my nose this way: smaller width then Gabrielle Union, but just as short) I must say, nose secret WORKS; however, there is some discomfort, but not pain, at first and this certainly may detract some would be consumers from buying the product. It works, it works, it works. If you have a short button nose as I have, your tip will be lifted and the nose will appear slimmer, but will not produce much elongation.
DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM
I REPEAT
DO NOT
BUY IT
ITS A COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY
Listen to me people, these splints hurts like HELL
YOUR NOSE WILL TURN RED. The maximum amount of time you can wear these things is 2 HOURS.
These REVIEWERS ARE LIARS.
The company’s staff WROTE THEM making you think these are real people. THEY ARE NOT!!
If you have an Asian nose, DO NOT USE IT. It will not slim down the nostrils.
FOR PEOPLE WITH A DROOPY NOSE, go ahead and use it cause it will slightly fix it but I’m WARNING YOU, you’ll regret it later on.
@ Marissa,
This memo is being sent to inform you, and any other people
who may be interested, that — I am NOT a “staff member”
of the Nose Secret company — I am simply an customer
who is EXTREMELY happy with the results hat I have had
with these incredibly inexpensive / effective nasal inserts.
Seriously these small little devices have BOTH SAVED me
literally THOUSANDS of dollars AND have GIVEN my nose
a VERY NATURALLY refined and defined appearance —
that most of my friends who have had rhinoplasty have
admittedly, simply not gotten with their surgical results.
In fact, anyone who wants to know more about this product
and what great results I have had with using it can even
write to me directly at GlamourGalForYou@yahoo.com
& I can tell them even more so why I think it works great!

( a very happy customer and user of this product)
Marissa:
Sorry to hear that you get upset for seeing good comments about NoseSecret everywhere. Have you ever tried the phone number that GG have posted? The correct phone number of NoseSecret is 201-266-0077. If GG were a member of NoseSecret staff, I am sure she would’ve posted the the right phone number.
For those who have benefited from the product, this is a great alternativet that provide instant results.
It is not for everybody but for those who like them it is a life saver.
I find it very strange that the staff members at nosesecret keep writing positive reviews on different forums and websites. Every time I try to search for customer reviews on this product, I find the the exact same thing written by some members of the staff. This is not a very smart way to do business. I was seriously considering ordering this product but because of this matter I will refrain from doing so. This is a very bizarre tactic.
Your before and after pic look really impresive. I have used NoseSecret for quite a while and it DOES WORK. Over time my nose looks thinner giving my face a more gracious look.
I agree with you on the comments of the doctor at Realself.com. He may be getting really hurt by it.
In regard to the sneeze portion of your review , most of us cover the nose when we sneeze so in case it happens to you and the splints spills out , they will end up on your hands and no one will ever notice it.
I love this product. Clever for those on the small budget.

If anyone is considering either having or correcting rhinoplasty
surgery (or even simply purchasing a nose shaping device)
… my recommendation is that they FIRST TRY
the ‘NOSE SECRET’ nasal inserts product.
The ‘Nose Secret’ product is, quite
simply, nothing short of AMAZING!!!
This product is very unusual in both that it has such
a rudimentary, and easy to use, design AND (best
of all) the FACT that IT ACTUALLY WORKS!!!!
So … again … if anyone is even remotely considering having
rhinoplasty – my advice is that they (save themselves lots
of time, money, trouble, discomfort and uncertainly of
results, by making the decision to) first try Nose Secret.
The impact of this small device is so incredible that,
after having used it, a person may change their
mind about having rhinoplasty surgery altogether.
The Nose Secret product is quick, easy, effective,
essentially invisible and totally pain-free to use.
In addition (unlike the typical ‘cookie cutter’-styled results
that are so very commonly found among people who have
had surgical nose jobs), the Nose Secret product seems to
have the phenomenal ability to provide users with a very
customized-enhancement of the person’s nose features–
by presenting (in a mere matter of seconds to minutes) both
‘a more naturally-refined’ and ‘a more distinctively-designed’
version of the each individual person’s very own natural nose.
The customized-enhancement and refinement (complete with the
ability to even induce ‘an upward tilt’ of the tip) of one’s nose,
that is provided via using Nose Secret, results in the user of this
product displaying a nose that appears to be a more accurate,
uniform, symmetrical and complimentary match with all
of their remaining facial features – and has the capacity to
do so with far less time, money, and uncertainty of results
than one would find with standard rhinoplasty surgery.
Nose Secret is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
— as it TRULY WORKS WONDERS !!!
