I developed really bad allergies. I’m also still growing. But blowing my nose is inevitable & I’m really worried blowing my nose is what has made it ugly. It’s also a bit shifted to the right.
Answer: Nose blowing and nose size Hi drive,Nose blowing, even if performed frequently, will not make the overall nose bigger. The size of the nose is determined by the cartilage and bone that provides the structural support as well as the soft tissue of the nose, including the skin. The soft tissue structures can get bigger from certain processes, but nose blowing itself will not cause them to enlarge.If the issues you describe bother you, consider seeing an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon for further evaluation.Good luck!

Answer: Blowing the nose Blowing the nose in my opinion does not make a nose bigger, unless the size difference that you have in mind is swelling related to the inflammation from whatever is causing you to blow the nose (allergies, etc.). It's a chicken and egg story. Without an exam, it will not be possible to fully evaluate you and give you recommendations.

Answer: Nasal evaluation Hello and thank you for your question. The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. Blowing your nose will not make it larger. If you have concerns about your nose, then I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. FACS Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Nose blowing and nasal shape No, blowing your nose won't make it bigger or ugly. At most, some patients with allergies can develop a so-called "allergic crease" or "nasal crease" which is simply a horizontal wrinkle just above the nasal tip due to the patient chronically rubbing upward on the nose to wipe it. But since you're still growing, it's more likely that any shape changes you're seeing are simply natural genetic changes as you grow into your adult face. If you're that concerned, consider making an appointment with an allergist or an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat surgeon) to make sure nothing else is occurring such as nasal polyps, etc.All the best,--DCPPearson Facial Plastic Surgery®

Answer: Can blowing the nose make it bigger? Allergies can make your nasal mucosa swell and potentially even the outside of your nose to swell. The swelling should only affect the soft tissue and as the allergies become controlled the soft tissue swelling should resolve. Constant nose blowing can further irritate the skin, but should not can any changes to the bone or cartilage of the nose. Fall can be a bad season for weeds. I would recommend a consult with an allergy specialist. Good luck!
