Did my childhood chronic nose picking create a saddle nose? (photos)

October 13, 2021

I found out around 2 months ago that I have a large perforaton of my septum (around 3.5cm x 1.5cm) that was the result of chronic nose picking when I was younger. I went to my ENT on two occasions since then, and was told that the remaining septum is healthy, and only need nasal gel to treat dryness. My dorsum is also currently stable. No breathing issues. I would like to see from other professionals if you think Im at risk of developing a saddle nose, or if the hole can possibly get bigger?
