Can touching your nose after rhinoplasty affect your results?

Asked By:Hawaii31 in Corpus Christi, TX, USA

I had an open rinoplasty to reduce the tip of my nose, make it more narrow and remove the hump. I have a huge habit of touching my Nose and squeezing the blackheads. It is now 3 weeks after surgery and I noticed one side of my Nasal tip is bigger than the other side. And a bit crooked. Did this affect my results. I’m very afraid it did.
