Which procedure would help with swelling and changes in shape years after rhinoplasty caused by blackhead extraction? (photos)

Asked By:inshirah in England, United Kingdom

Hi, I had my rhino in 2017 and for many years I was happy with my results. 3 years ago I started a very stressful job and as a weird coping mechanism I used to pick at the blackheads on my nose every single day almost for 2 years. Then I left that job and now I only do black head extractions maximum twice a week. But I have noticed that whilst I had that job my nose tip became significantly wider and my nostril showed more and my nose was more lifted. This has not gone away. Any treatment?
