What's that tool that doctors use to open your nose when you have a checkup after a rhinoplasty?

Asked By:alyazmalim in Ohio, OH

I'm 5 months post op and I got my follow up appointment today. I was wondering what the tool is that my doctor used to check the inside of my nose. It looks like a clip and widens your nostrils so he can see everything inside. I trust him a lot, but is that going to change the appearance of my nose after he he used it? It may seem like a paranoid question but I always feel that anything to open my nose even after 5 months will stretch my nose out and ruin results.
