How damaging can nose picking to the nose be after 6 months after a Functional Rhinoplasty?

jerry45
About a year and a half ago, I got a functional rhinoplasty in which was successful. Due to paranoia of ruining it, I didn't put a finger inside my nose until about 6 months after the surgery. Only then did I remove boogers with my fingers. I started to pick up a habit of doing this to try to keep it clean and would pick my nose daily like most people. I'm concerned that this has ruined my results as my nose now droops significantly more when I smile and I feel like I'm moving somethings around
