Are polyps making my nose bigger?

S
surfsup2929May 17, 2016

About 7-8 years ago I got nasal polyps. In the time since then my nose has become much much bigger. I never had a big nose but I would say I do. Could this be causing it? Also if they were removed would my nose revert to the way it once was? Thank you.
