My nose used to be perfectly symmetrical from both sides when I was younger (I'm 17 now), until recently. I've noticed that one of the sides indents whilst the other is straight. I went to the doctor and he said that my nose is 'fine' as my septum is perfectly straight. Does anyone know what can be causing the indentation, and is it reversible? I've tried researching about it, but nobody seems to have this problem with their nose. Thanks.
