I Crack the Cartilage in my Nose As a Habit and Have Since Puberty Could This Have Made my Nose Pointier As the Years Passed?

Question

Ronald J. Edelson, MD · Answer

It shouldn't have any effect on the structure of your nose.  If you feel your nose is too pointy contact a local plastic surgeon in your area that specializes in the rhinoplasty procedure.

George C. Peck, Jr, MD · Answer

The cracking of your nose is most likely the movement of cartilage and a noise associated with the movement. This habit should not affect the cosmetics of the nose. It would not make your nose more pointy.Hope this helps.
