Asked By:Neat73315 in Winters, Texas

I never really liked the way my nose looked because it had a slight bump so I had the idea to press on it to try to make it straighter, so I did for about a month and a half for about 5 to 10 minutes each time (sometimes 3 times a day) with moderate to really hard pressure sometimes and I realized near the end of it I had gotten a really big bump around where I was pressing. I’ve stopped now 4 weeks ago and I’m just scared that it’s permanent because the bump doesn’t seem to be going down
