Good day. I went to see my ENT and when she examined my nose she used a metal tool to pry open my nostrils widely and she lifted my tip right up to see inside using this tool. Could this manouveringhave caused any structural damage to my nostrils and tip? I am almost 2 years post septo rhinoplasty (I did have major tip work done to lift it up). Thank you
