I'm not sure if it's relevant, but I had the right side of my nose pierced about 4 years ago for about 4 months. Two years ago, I woke up one morning and the right side of my nose appeared to be flat. By touch, I can feel it's caved in. I have had no cosmetic surgery, but I am considering it because it makes me self conscious when I know lighting cast shadows and make it stand out!

Answer: Rhinoplasty for flat nasal tip The photograph demonstrates an inverted lower lateral cartilage that is concave, rather than convex like the opposite side. A rhinoplasty procedure can address making the changes necessary to make the nose more symmetrical. This would involve harvesting a cartilage graft from inside the nose and placing the graft in the concave area to match the opposite side of the nasal tip. For many examples of rhinoplasty, please see the link and video below

Answer: Side of the nasal tip is caved in It is possible that you have developed some scar tissue over the lower alar cartilage, and it has partially collapsed. It is important to determine if you have breathing problems or valve compromise. If there are no breathing problems, a simple office procedure can be performed by taking Some ear cartilage from behind your ear and implanting it over the concavity. If you have breathing issues, this may require a more extensive procedure. It is best to find an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who deals with breathing problems.Good Luck!Dr. Joe

Answer: Asymmetric Cartilages in the Nose It appears from your photo that your lower lateral cartilages that produce the structure and shape to your nasal tip are misshapen. The right side is more of a concave shape which is producing the shadowing and depression on that side. It is difficult to say if the piercing contributed to this. Regardless, this is treatable and involves using cartilage grafts that would be harvested from the nasal septum and placed with the lower lateral cartilages to create a more symmetric appearance.

Answer: See a surgeon The cartilage that supports the right side of your nose is warped. This usually can be fixed with a rhinoplasty. A surgeon would be able to assess your nose and offer a plan for operative improvement.
