Will my nose get bigger if I pick/touch my nose?

July 23, 2022
Asked By:Zahin1 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Can picking my nose 1 knuckle deep with my pointer finger or thumb, make it bigger or stretch out the overall shape and size of my nose? Additionally, can pushing, pinching, pressing, squeezing, massaging, and or bending my nose, permanently impact or change the nasal cartilages or overall shape and size of the nose?
