Does Pushing/pinching/pressing Nose into Certain Direction Can Change Shape?

desperatenoseguy
I heard that applying pressure to nose can change its shape, make it straighter or slimmer. Is it true? Can it be dangerous, cause some irreversible damages or even make nose more crooked? I think it's stupid but ofcourse I tried pressing my nose few times (stupid human nature) and now I'm afraid that it is even worse.
