Can Consistently Rubbing The Nose Lead To Changes In The Shape?
Question: Can rubbing across nose across both nostrils and nose with hand cause any changes in shape, position of any part of nose or entire nose?
Brief Answer:
Such changes are not possible
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Mere rubbing of your nose will not cause any changes in the shape or size of the nose.
Any changes in the shape of the nose could be developmental in origin and are usually related to septal cartilage deviation.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
