Why Did my Nose Get Bigger? And Am I Doing the Wrong Thing?

Manual manipulation of the nose (stretching and squeezing) may damage the sensitive cartilage and structure of your nose, so don't try to alter the shape yourself. Weight gain can affect the contours of the face and possibly make you feel the your nose is wider. Also, if you are unwell the pressure inside you nose may make it feel swollen but it should not alter the shape and size too much. You should seek the opinion of a Plastic Surgeon who can take some measurements and photographs to determine if you are suitable for Rhinoplasty/Septoplasty and possible Turbinectomy.
