Will pressing or rubbing my nose make it longer or change the shape?

Hi. I have recently been concerned about the septum part of my nose (outside part that's visible). I have tried to press it and rub it upwards and I'm really scared that it may ruin my nose. I haven't done it for a while though, maybe less than 2 or 3 months, and only casually when I'm not doing anything else. Will my nose droop more overtime? Will this affect my nose in any good or bad way?
