I am 28 years old female, about to get rhinoplasty next Wednesday, went for a pre-op testing and was called back today to come back and redo my blood work, cause my potassium is high. Will that stop me from getting the surgery done? And if so should i be refunded the money i paid for the surgery? Thank you in advance.

Almost all of the swelling, especially in the bridge, has resolved one year after rhinoplasty. If you're not satisfied consult with your surgeon to share your thoughts and consider a revision.
Nose picking should not make your nose bigger unless infection developer secondary to scratched wound from your nail. However, nose picking habit should be avoided as millions of bacteria may be introduced to your nose each time you pick it constatntly.
If you were late to grow your nose may continue to develop until your early twenties. You still may or may not choose rhinoplasty, however given your late growth spurt there is no harm in giving things more time.
