Does almost constantly pushing and pressing on the nose make it bigger?

grimlovee
I have done nose facial exercises to make my nose smaller for years. It has become an obsession and I am almost constantly pushing, pinching, and pressing on my nose and nostrils. But, I am worried that it is making it bigger. I've noticed the skin on the sides of my nose seems thicker and bigger, if that makes sense.
