14 months post-op closed rhinoplasty - what is this ridge on my nostril? (Photo)

Based on your singular photo, you appear to have very thin nasal skin and firm nasal tip cartilage which is Associated with visible irregularities after rhinoplasty surgery. The soft area just next to the ridge is called the soft tissue triangle. Depending on your examination, a few droplets of Silikon-1000 maybe considered for softening this transition permanently. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hello! Thanks for your question. I see what you're talking about. That transition area can be challenging but should be smooth in nature. It is typically a prominent part of tip cartilage that transitions too harshly to the soft tissue of the nostril. It can be improved. I wouldn't say it's too risky. Seek consultation with a Facial Plastic Surgeon near you to learn more. Hope this is useful!
