Does Continuous Pressure On Nose Helps To Slim The Nose Tip?

Can I use constant pressure to slim my bulbous nose tip? I got a rubber band and tied it in a circle and slipped it over the tip. It's not enough to cut off circulation or cause discomfort, but it does slim my nose noticeably while it's on. If I leave this on for hours a day, will I see any changes to my nose over time? Please let me know. This is continuous constant pressure unlike the other nose shapers out there which are only applied for 15-20 mins a day.
