Abstract: A cover and noseform is disclosed for protecting, dilating and maintaining dilution of the nose as well as aligning the nasal passages with the nares of the nose to increase the efficiency of breathing and prevent problems such as snoring. The noseform is applied to cover at least a portion of the nose and causes the end of apex of the nose to be lifted in a direction aligned with the nose and toward the forehead of the person to align the nares and nasal passages of the nose. The noseform includes a first portion adhered to the nose, a second portion adhered to the nose distal from the first portion and a means for moving the second portion toward the first portion to lift the end of the nose toward the glabella or forehead region as well as covering the nose of the wearer. The noseform also includes a rest to prevent a pair of glasses from slipping down the nose and constricting the nasal passages. Furthermore, the noseform of the present invention is designed to be decorated and altered to achieve differing aesthetic appearances including a passage therethrough for creating a sun-tattoo as well as extensions over the forehead.

What is claimed is:     1. A method of dilating the nares of a human nose, the method comprising the steps of:
  • moving the movable skin above the apex of the nose and below the bridge of the nose from its resting position toward the glabella in a direction substantially aligned with and along the direction of the dorsum nasi of the human nose; and
  • fixing the movable skin such that the apex of the nose remains closer to the glabella whereby the nose is foreshortened and the nostrils are dilated.
