Q: I have a habit of pushing down on the ball of my nose. I’ve heard a couple people on here say that they have similar ones, and that their noses eventually become droopy. Is this true? If so, will the nose go back to normal?
A: Touching and manipulating your nose should not have any long-term effect unless done with such force that it causes injury to your nose. The nose will, however, naturally become “droopier” or more ptotic with age.
