Medical rhinoplasty. Is this cartilage malformed or damaged? (Photo)

Question

My nose was pretty bad already but an injury a few years ago made it worse. Septum severely deviated. But I never really had a nose tip as was rounded with prominent nostrils. Is the cartilage malformed or damaged or something?

based on these photos you seem to be good candidate for septo-rhinoplasty. In experienced hands of a board certified plastic or ENT surgeon, with good reputation in rhinoplasty, you can expect significant improval both functionally and aesthetically. Good luck.

hi dear thanks for your query. actually there are two aspects to your problem , firstly your septum is deviated and secondly because of the injury the cartilages have got splayed and a groove also has formed leading to rounded or broader tip. u shall require a full septo- rhinoplasty procedure with correction of deviations and cartilage restructuring and some grafts here and therehope it answers your queries.
