Nose Cartilage Fallen? (photo)

I'm in dire need of help. I'm getting married in 5 months and this has been a problem for quite sometime that I've ignored but not any longer. I have a pointed, small nose (I'm African American) and I've noticed that on the right side of my nose toward the tip of it the cartilage is beginning to cave in. It looks horrible. I do not use any drugs but I do use nasal spray as a decongestant for my sinuses. I just want my nose to loo perfect on my wedding day. What can I do to correct this? Help please!

If that works really well for a patient but they want to make it a permanent solution, then Artefill (a... more

Divot on nasal tip

Thanks for submitting your photos. They are really helpful. What you are seeing is probably a concavity in the underlying cartilage of the tip on your right side. Nasal decongestants will not do this. There are two options, one surgical and the other non-surgical. The surgical option is to have a limited procedure that will premanently fill in the depression on you tip with cartilage taken from your nasal septum (inside your nose). This procedure will create... more

Nonsurgical Nose Jobs Work Well For Falling Tips and Nasal Tip Irregularities

Nonsurgical Rhinoplasty using volumizing filers works well in properly selected cases of drooping nasal tips and other irregularities of this region (as well as other areas of the nose). A number of different injectables have been used for this purpose. My favorite for this particular purpose is Perlane L, which is a hyaluronic acid based product mixed with lidocaine to reduce treatment discomfort, which is important when injecting the nose, an especially sensitive region.
