Question

Yucel Sarialtin, MD · Answer

Hello Brian, thank you for your question.
As I can see in the photo if there is a difference in the cartilage on the right side, to fix this there are two options. The first one is with a filler or the other one will be with surgery where your cartilage will be fixed even will improve your breathing.
Best regards,
Yucel Sarialtin.

Either cartilage grafting through a closed rhinoplasty or a filler to the indented area would be appropriate.

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

Your photo appears to show an indentation on your right, where your nasal sidewall meets your tip. If this is your only concern about your nasal appearance, you may consider consulting a surgeon experienced in the delicate art of nasal injections to restore volume and symmetry. My personal preference is to use Silikon-1000, an off-label filler for permanent results.

	Hope this helps you.

Rhinoplasty for the crooked nose, etc. using cartilage to fill in at the dents and straighten the crookedness using your own nasal cartilage. This hould improve your breathing.

Dear Brian1991,

	
		You can use a little filler for that area to fix the caving in portion
	
		If it collapses with breathing, you may need a little more work
	
		It is best to see someone for a consultation so you can go over exactly what bothers you and how it can be addressed
	
		Best regards,
