I just got glasses a week ago and have noticed the bridge of my nose having indents on the side, so slight that I'm not even sure of it's indents or just shadows or like bruising. But it's made my nose from the top look thinner. Now I'm wondering if that pressure might make my nose more crow shaped? In that case, I have a bit of a bulbous nose on the bottom - not too bulbous just rounded - would placing my glasses on the bulb part make the bulbous part shrink or would it cause it to grow larger? Thanks.
