Delores, welcome to the petite nose club. I also have a petite nose with high cheek bones. I have a small gel mask which fits fairly well if I keep it tight and on my upper lip and a small Mirage mask which also doesn't fit well. I'm sure my upper lip is going to start drooping over my lower lip because of the mask resting on it. I'm going to cut and paste my large mirage seal this weekend (they ordered the wrong size originally) and see if I can customize it to my nose and face. If I don't have the bottom resting on the edge of my upper lip the top leaks and blows on my eyes. Isn't it amazing the noises these things can make? My dog gives me some really funny looks when the mask leaks.

I would really be interested in how the petite mask fits. If I order another mask I will have to pay for it. I have three now so don't want to waste my money on another one if it won't work.

Marty
