I got a rhinoplasty in july last 2013, but i'm always picking my nose and i'm afraid that made my nose bigger, is that possible or is it just it sweled by the constant picking?

Obviously it is a bad idea to pick your nose following rhinoplasty.  It may or may not have an impact on your result depending on what was done and how far along you are in the healing process.  Since nothing good will come from picking your nose following rhinoplasty, I recommend you stop.
