Can a Nose Change Shape by Tugging, Pressure, Etc.?

July 19, 2012
Asked By:danny13 in United Kingdom, GB

Up until about the age of 18, certain members of my family used to pull my nose (as they used to do with my ears) out of fun and even I used to squeeze my nose because I felt that it was too fat (but was actually ok) and now my nose has become long. I sometimes get called elephant nose. Could my nose have taken shape after all those years of pulling?
