What can be used to reduce the dimple between my nose? (Photo)

Question

I’m just looking at reducing this, it’s very noticeable, and it’s really the tip that has this irregularity.

Hello and thank you for your question.  This is due to a separation in your lower lateral cartilage.   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.  Make
sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients
who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and not just a computer
animation system. The most important aspect is to find a
surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a
qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Thank you for your question.You've got what is known as a bifid nasal tip. The cartilages within your tip are separated, and by bringing them together during a rhinoplasty, this deformity is easily correctable.My advice would be to book a consultation with a Plastic Surgeon who performs rhinoplasty on a regular basis.Best wishes,

Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD · Answer

What you is known as a bifid nasal tip or a wide separation between the lower alar cartilages as they cross the tip off the nose. This can be corrected by a tip rhinoplasty procedure to bring them together and perform any other tip reshaping maneuvers at the same time.
