Is this due to a deviated septum or something with the nasal tip? (Photos)

Asked By:KB5ive in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey

The tip of my nose, on the right side, pops out more than the left. I can press down on it and it feels like an air-bubble that springs back into place after lifting away the finger, unlike the left side.

Answer: If you breathe well through your nose on both sides, you may not have a deviated septum.
