Can Squeezing Nose to Make It Smaller Do Permanent Damage?

Hi,

It sounds like you have given a great deal of thought to your nose and rhinoplasty.  To change the appearance of your nose you should consult with rhinoplasty surgeons.  Do not attempt to treat your nose yourself.  Your nose should recover from the trauma that you inflicted with the hair clip.

If cost is a problem, you can call university teaching hospitals or look into Care Credit.  Make sure to choose your rhinoplasty surgeon most carefully, much more so than your chose your hair clip.

Good luck and be well.

 Compressive nasal devices that claim to alter the appearance of your nose do not work for achieving a permanent change in your nasal appearance.  In that regard, it is unlikely that manipulating your nose for two consecutive days caused any permanent damage - likely just temporary swelling. Hope this helps. Dr. Joseph 

Squeezing the nose in an attempt to make it smaller is not recommended. This could cause injury to the external or internal structure of the nose.
There are several different ways to change the nose shape, with both surgical and non-surgical options available. These are not things to try at home. See a rhinoplasty expert such as a facial plastic surgeon to see what options are available.
All the best,
