What Could Be Causing Deterioration of the Cartilage in my Nose? (photo)

  It is impossible to tell what may be causing  any cartilage deterioration. It is important make sure that it's fixed and stable before going undergoing a rhinoplasty. The rhinoplasty procedure for this type of problem would include a combination of an onlay graft and a spreader graft to the patient's right side.  For examples similar to this, please see our website rhinoplasty photo gallery link below

I am not sure why your nasal cartilages are changing.  I have not seen this in 30 years.  I suggest you first see your general doctor about your total medical condition.   This may be a part of your general health status.  My Best,  Dr C
