Changing Nose Tip by Manipulating the Cartilage by Hand?
In other words, when I became self-conscious about my nose, I began using my fingers to manipulate it and try to shape it the way I would like it and it caused my nose to be more hawk-like in appearance at the end.

Don't blame yourself. You can't change cartilage this way.
Short of breaking your nasal bones by hand (a hard task to do and a painful one), there's really no way that you can cause a change such as you describe. Cartilage cannot be manipulated manually to produce any meaningful or lasting shape change. If you're concerned about your nasal appearance, speak to a surgeon well-trained and experienced in rhinoplasty. All the best, --DCP
Rhinoplasty by Hand
Hi, You would have to be very, very aggressive with your hand manipulation in order to make a visible change. It is highly unlikely but anything is possible. Best, Dr.S.
