Does pressing on the tip of the nose make it bigger?

Asked By:Gregarious795616 in Abbeyville, Colorado, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri
I know that pressing on the tip of the nose cannot change the bone and cartilage structure, but could I have enlarged the skin there by pressing on the tip of the nose? I had such a habit. Lately I have noticed that my nose is more swollen and thicker than before . Is this possible? If possible, is it permanent?

Hi, It is better for you to consult with your facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and give you opinion based on examination. Pregnancy is one of risks of nasal congestion/dryness due to hormonal changes.
