My nose seems to be caving in at the tip... can this be fixed with a filler?

February 6, 2011
Asked By:Candace Wellington in Wellington, Florida

My nose seems to be caving in at the tip and each year seems to be getting worse. I have always had sinus problems and am wondering if I have a deviated septum? Can my nose be fixed with a filler? If I do have a deviated septum, does insurance cover rhinoplasty?
