A member asked:
If you pressed on your nose bone, the middle (anyplace ) will it break?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nose Trauma: The nose is primarily made of cartilage which is very flexible. Just pressing on the nose is unlikely to cause serious damage. On the other hand if someone punches you in the nose, or you fall on your nose it can cause a break that would require medical treatment.
