Great product if you want a nasal reconstruction
I am a physician. My wife ordered these without discussing with me. The cartilage that supports the skin that forms the nose ( called the alar cartilage) is quite delicate and easily dies if blood supply is compromised. The cartilage cells actually have no direct blood supply and rely on diffusion from adjacent tissue. These things compress the alar cartilage , putting the viability of that cartilage at risk. I would not use this poorly thought out product in a million years. Dealing with dead alar cartilage of the nose is a nightmare unless you don't mind having a hole in the middle of your face.
