I have noticed an indentation on the tip of my nose. Could this be bifid nose? (Photo)

I can't be certain but I believe the indentation has gotten worse recently- that's why I have noticed it more. If it is bifid nose what can fix it?

It is safe to have lip augmentation with filler any time before or after nose surgery. It would be most practical to have it done in the course of your nose surgery since you will be under anesthesia. Discuss this with your plastic surgeon. Good luck.

I have found that steroid nasal sprays for a few weeks after rhinoplasty assist dramatically in maintaining a good airway. In the very short term it can be combined with a nasal spray such as Afrin particularly at night.
