Nose clip (Nasofix) permanent damage? Fixable? (photos)

September 28, 2016
Asked By:Anonymous555 in Atlanta, GA

I used a nose clip (squeezes your nose) for about a year, and my nose has become deformed and bigger than before. I stopped using it in hopes that my nose would return to its normal state, but it has not. It looks swollen 24/7, is a lot bigger than before, and has deformities. This has caused me great depression knowing that I caused it myself. My nose was fine before, but now it is terrible. Is this damage permanent, and if it is, can a nose operation return my nose to its prior state? Thanks
