Can gently relieving blackheads after rhino/septoplasty ruin results?

modestie
Starting about 1 week after septo/rhinoplasty, using a sterilized plastic toothpick, I very gently applied the slightest amount of pressure to blackheads on my nasal bridge and nostrils to push out some large blackheads. I didn't push or manipulate my entire nose to the side, but now I am worried I have ruined things. Is the nose really that delicate after rhino/septo plasty?
