Asked By:nostrilgic in London, GB

I'm 25 & have never had cosmetic surgery. In the past year I have noticed that my nose has really changed. It has become thicker above the nostrils especially on one side. A little ridge of cartilage that I used to have at the tip of my nose has disappeared & it now just generally looks rounder/fuller. When I smile, it seems to go to one side a little (on the thicker side) & just generally looks bigger overall. I haven't had any recent nose trauma. Why has this happened? Can surgery get it back?
