I Would Like to Have a Stronger Cartilage Foundation, but I Have a Thin Skin Envelope with No Fat. I have a flimsy cartilage that does not have much contour, the strength of the cartilage doesnt give my tip and sidewalls and columella much support as I recently developed a cleft in the middle of my nose which can be seen because of my thin skin envelope. I only want a stronger nose foundation that shows it can hold itself up and appears more sturdier through my skin. I want to bulk up the tissue as well as strengthening the existing cartilage underneath is this possible?
