A member asked:
What will happen if biting down on your upper lip, making the nose (cartilage) go down? will the cartilage be damaged? if so what are the clues?

Ok: Cartilage is very flexible so you take a lot of biting down the lip to damage it. With that being said good luck.

Doubtful: Cartilage s pretty stong and usually damage is caused by direct trauma.
