Will my Nose Get Bigger if I Always Touch It?

Emilyyy80Jun 29, 2013
So I have a bad habit where I touch my nose and pinch it to see how I would look with a smaller nose. I do this everyday becuase I hate my nose! Will this makes my nose bigger? I feel like it got bigger and uglier.

 Sleep position at night has no bearing on size, shape, or symmetry of the nostrils. A unilateral alar-plasty can be performed in an attempt to make  the nostrils more symmetrical

No such thing as laser Rhinoplasty. Laser is a cutting/destroying tool. Only time we use laser is to reduce the enlarged turbinates, inside the nose or resurface the nasal skin outside.

Hi Did your surgeon look inside your nose before your surgery to make sure your septum was OK?  It looks like your nose was crooked before surgery and the surgeon neglected to recognize this and did not address the issue but now that the nose is narrower you are seeing it even more....
