At bottom surface of my nose near both nostrils, I have 2 dent-like lines. Is there any way they can be smoothed out? (photos)

I'm not looking for the bridge of my nose to be reconstructed, it looks fine. There are just 2 lines that look like dents beneath the surface of the tip of my nose on both sides that I would like smoothed out. Below there are 2 pics and the first pic shows a nose with the dents and lines vs a smooth base nose without any lines or dents and I want my nose to look like the smooth one. Thanks

I say this since it appears as though your dorsal hump may project away from your face further than your nasal tip appearance, and adding volume to your nose would only lead to a larger nasal appearance. Since you appear to have an overprojected nasal appearance, rhinoplasty surgery may be...

Based on your singular photo, you appear to have a wide nasal appearance, along with relatively thick nasal skin. Unfortunately, my sense is that adding volume to your nose would only lead to a larger nasal appearance. Rhinoplasty surgery may be considered for achieving narrowing of the upper...
