I’ve always had a nose with a dimple / divot running through the center of it almost like a continuation of my philtrum. Although it is not a major concern per se, it contributes to my overall sense that my nose is not particularly flattering to my face and that a more defined shape would better suit my features. Surgery is inherently a risky proposition, and most of the photos I see of rhinoplasty before and after cases are of people with more extreme bumps, humps etc. I have considered filler as well (and have some filler in my cheeks and under eyes already) but have heard that fillers in this area are extremely risky. My board certified dermatologist injector does not perform this procedure and neither does my previous ENT plastic surgeon (unrelated procedure). In any case, is this the type of problem that could satisfactorily be addressed through rhinoplasty? I’m wary of perfection being the enemy of the good!
Answer: Nasal Tip Cleavage Thanks for your thoughtful question. A subtle midline indentation or cleavage in the nasal tip can indeed contribute to a feeling that the nose isn’t ideally suited to your face. While most rhinoplasty cases online highlight dramatic changes like large bumps or humps, more refined aesthetic concerns like yours can also be addressed with surgery. A well-planned rhinoplasty could help smooth the contour and enhance nasal definition, improving overall facial harmony.

Answer: Rhinoplasty vs. fillers... Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for rhinoplasty. Fillers to the nasal tip can be done (usually with minimal risk if the injector knows what he/she is doing), but the result will only be temporary. Rhinoplasty can give a permanent result while refining other parts of the nose at the same time. Be sure to find a rhinoplasty expert for consultation that can do computer imaging at the same time so you can see how you might like your nose to be.

Answer: Filler to the tip of the nose Separated cartilages and thin skin are reason for this tip “deformity”. It is very likely that injection of soft tissue filler would solve the problem. Tip surgery, including placement of fascia graft are options. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, expert in rhinoplasty, is recommended. Good luck.
