Will pinching the nose make it bigger?

Nosing the nasal wings generally does not make the nose larger, and frequent or forceful pinching is not recommended. Specific details are as follows:

The size of the nose is usually determined by genetics and becomes fixed after adulthood. The nasal wings consist of muscles and cartilage with a defined shape and structure, so simply pinching them typically does not increase the size of the nose. Although the nose generally won't enlarge from pinching, frequently or forcefully squeezing the nasal wings may damage the nasal mucosa, leading to frequent nosebleeds. It may also increase the risk of developing conditions such as rhinitis and sinusitis, and could harm the skin on the nasal wings, causing enlarged pores, blackheads, and other cosmetic issues that affect the nose's appearance. For individuals seeking aesthetic improvements—whether wanting a larger or smaller nose—the desired results usually require medical cosmetic procedures, as manually pinching the nose is essentially ineffective. It is advisable for those seeking treatment to visit reputable medical institutions where specialists can perform comprehensive evaluations and determine appropriate treatment plans to enhance outcomes.

In daily life, maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the nose, and avoid vigorously rubbing or squeezing it. Maintain a light diet and avoid spicy or irritating foods such as garlic, hot pot, wasabi, etc. Also ensure adequate rest and avoid excessive fatigue to protect overall health.
