Can squeezing your nose cause the shape of your nose to change?

Rational167800
I’ve been squeezing at the pores on my nose around once a week for a while now. I was wondering if it can change the shape of your nose, causing it to become larger? I’m afraid with my hard and constant squeezing, it would change the shape/direction of my nose. I’m also worried it could cause blood build up underneath which would result in it being permanently swollen? Please let me know, thank you.
