Can nose hump get bigger by pinching or pressuring & am I a hard case for rhinoplasty? (Photos)

November 28, 2022
Asked By:Betce in İstanbul, Türkiye

I have 2 questions: 1. I had an accident caused trauma to my nose 9 years ago and afterwards I developed deviation and a hump. Recently I have been pinching my nose to clean blackheads on my skin and I repeated several times. Now when I look at my nose, the hump looks bigger. Can it get bigger after all this time by pressuring on it? 2. Am I a hard case for rhinoplasty? I guess I have a thick skin also my philtrum is long. I am afraid of it getting longer or a pig looking nose.
