Does Pressing Your Nose or Sleeping in a Certain Way Make Your Nose Bridge Thinner?

June 21, 2011
Asked By:Toronto2012 in Toronto, ON

I have a wide nose bridge ever since I was a kid I press my nose really hard that sometimes it starts to hurt, for a day it seems that little has been changed but whenever I wake up it seems as if it grew even more in size. Second ; If yu sleep in a way that yur hand is covering your left or right eye and than yu sleep on that side, this creates yur hand pushing up and the gravity pushing down the nose(the width) will sleeping this way make yur nose smaller?
