Can you change the shape of your nose in any way with your fingers?

Asked By:prombom17 in Mass City, MI

i used to be able to breathe perfect thru my nose. When I hit puberty i saw a small bump and got insecur about it. for months i pressed on the bridge with fair pressure (but no pain) to try to smooth out the bump, in hopes it would eventually look a bit straighter. I got obsessive about it and pressed on it on my free time. I eventually had problems breathing (right nostril for months) and went to an ENT. He said I have a deviated septum? Did I cause this ! :( Also my nose looks crooked:(
