Plastic surgeon Babayan: after removing the mask, the nose may go down, but will return to its place that wearing a medical mask can change the shape of the nose or ears.
He noted that some citizens complain that a mask that fits tightly to the face can “flatten” or even “lower” the nose. According to the doctor, this can really happen, but such a change will last no longer than 15 seconds after removing the mask, after which the nose “will return with a 100% probability.”
“To be objective, the mask does not match the shape of the face or individual parts of the face cannot be affected. Everything is restored without any additional interventions, nature has created it, “Babayan assured.
The surgeon also noted that the elastic bands of the mask can press on the ears, but this will not lead to any consequences for the appearance. The doctor explained that the auricles are very plastic, and they have a strong tissue memory of shape.
“Under the influence of external factors, the auricles cannot change. This is out of the question. Even more, after surgery, the ears can return to their previous shape and you have to make one more correction, “the plastic surgeon explained.
In July, a Reddit user with the nickname forgive_my_brain called the coronavirus the best event that happened in his life … The man admitted that he always considered himself ugly, but he stopped being ashamed of his appearance when he began to wear a mask. He added that he would be happy to wear it for the rest of his days, because with it his life completely changed and became better.
