What’s wrong with my nose? (Photo)

The two frontal images suggest some asymmetry around the nostrils and tip, although the cropped views and different angles make comparison unreliable. A new change can reflect swelling, trauma, skin inflammation, septal deviation, or structural cartilage change, but the cause cannot be diagnosed from these photos alone.

Arrange an in-person examination with an ENT or facial plastic surgeon, especially if the change was sudden or is accompanied by obstruction, pain, bleeding, or a recent injury. Bring older standardized photographs if available; comparison under the same lighting and angle is often more informative than isolated images.

Unfortunately, the photos that you posted appear distorted when they are opened. In that regard, based on the thumbnail photos, I don't see any obvious asymmetries or abnormalities. Perhaps consider asking a question with better photographs. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

You have a bulbous tip and swelling. You would at minimum benefit from a tip rhinoplasty. Your photographs are very limited. You may also benefit from other procedures done at the same time. I would need better photographs that show your entire face to give you a more accurate answer.

Best Wishes,

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can see from your photos there may be a trauma-related damage or you may have a deviation problem. you need to have an ent examination for this.
It would be better face to face consultation.
Best Regards!

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. Cartilage grafts may also be used to help improve tip refinement. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.
