Nope, haven't seen anyone having a straight nose after mewing. I still believe hook noses are genetic

My nose hump has pretty much completely gone from mewing.

I used to have a slight bump, not prominent but certainly noticeable. Not anymore

Can you please post picture before and after your nose? And how were you mewing? How old are you?

I see a 3 years before after of a woman and her nose didnt change shape and became more prominent

If her nose became more prominent it would mean her maxilla recessed which would defy physics considering she applied some form of force in an upward direction 

Krollic do you have a case discussion about your experience? 

There seems to be some confusion in this thread. A nasal hump is caused by nasal bone sticking out due to the underlying nasal cartilage being positioned too low & back in the face (which in turn is caused by inadequate support from maxilla). This has been @krollic 's situation, for example. It's important to note that such bump is different form a curved, roman or semitic nose (which is what @slinky is referring to), all of which are intended genetic expressions of the nasal cartilage. Whereas the hump will lessen as the skull unwinds,  the curved structure of the cartilage will mostly remain the same, and may sometimes even get more prominent.

@mewer000 Here is a thread for the case andrea was referring to  /community/community/case-discussions/progress-pics-drastic-3-year-transformation/

Nose shape is genetic.

Did Mike Mew say that hook noses can be changed in shape?

The deviation in the bridge of my nose has decreased from 4mm left of center to under 2mm left of center while I expanded my intermolar width by about 6mm. I haven't achieved any discernible forward changes in my maxilla yet, and likewise haven't seen any changes in the shape of my nose on that axis. That being said, it seems to me that the nasal bones won't be entirely excluded from the "unwinding" of the frontal processes of the maxilla, the frontal bone, and other surrounding cranial bones. It also seems reasonable that the soft tissue of the tip of the nose might swing up with the maxilla like the outline in the image below, and changes to the surrounding structures like the cheek line could change the context of how the nose appears. So don't expect drastic changes, but slight changes in the shape of the nose seem as plausible to me as any other changes in facial form we discuss here.

In absolute terms, if we successfully grow/shift the maxilla forward, the nose swings forward with it. However, the cheek line also angles forward resulting in a nose that looks less or equally pronounced in relation to the level of the cheeks in profile. If the vertical height of the maxilla is reduced, this would also reduce the vertical size of the nose.

The bridge of my nose angles to the left, so I'm more worried about improving symmetry rather than size.

Thanks for the reply,

Could you explain to me what you mean when you say the skull "unwinds"? 

Thanks

I mean the incremental shifting and remodeling of all the bones of the skull in relation to one another as they transition to a healthier conformation from improved oral posture, head posture, and body posture, maybe with the assistance of external adjustments or devices. Dr. Mew uses the analogy of a crushed box which becomes more symmetric as it is expanded back to its proper proportion. Progress in one area of the skull seems to make progress in other areas possible in a virtuous cycle. So you might see changes in the shape of the occipital bone or the frontal bone, for example, before or after you achieve changes in the maxilla. Many theorize that the sphenoid bone is something of a linchpin because of its central location and many borders.

@krollic

This is a serious concern of mine. Please tell me how long it took you to see a noticible difference. I feel like mine is also straightening out but it might just be in my head?

What about Helmutstrebl from Reddit? He had a slight bump that got straightened.

I wonder where @krollic went. It would be great to get an update from him.

I can attest to the same experience some people here have described. The bump on my nose has decreased. I can still remember how my nose used to look from profile, now it's much better but not straight yet.
