My nasal cartilage, upper lateral cartilage has detached from my nasal bone, is this normal? (read question details)

Asked By:manbearpig69 in North Uxbridge, MA

Can the depressor septi ligament, and constant smiling over a period of time cause the upper lateral cartilage to eventually detach from the nasal bone, when i was around 16-17 my nose was fine, but now its slightly deformed and on either side there is a sudden emptiness, which i can squeeze and feel. can this worsen and cause the cartilage to further detach from the nasal bone? please give a detailed explanation.
