Can asymmetrical cartilage on my nose domes be fixed? (photos)

June 20, 2019
Asked By:AnnW87 in Seattle, Washington

There is an uneven bump of cartilage on the right tip of my nose. It is higher up than the left side cartilage and stands out when the light hits it. If I press it down it moves but "clicks" back into place. It also makes my nose look like the right side is collapsing. Can this be fixed?
