My nose has a "dent" on one side that makes it looks very strange, like one side partially collapsed. Oe spot in particular has a specific dent in. This causes my nose to look very strange on one side but somewhat normal on the other and I'm very self conscious about it. What is this actually called and what would need to be fixed to make my nose look "normal" again?

Answer: Nasal tip You would benefit from a cartilage graft placed in this area to correct the asymmetry. This can be harvested from your septum and is probably best addressed with an open approach.

Answer: Asymmetry of tip cartilages The nasal tip is composed of a pair of cartilages called the lower lateral cartilages. They are a pair of cartilages which give the tip its shape. It appears you have an asymmetry of the two sides with a concavity on your right side. This can be corrected with a procedure where cartilage can be used to graft the area and "fill in" the depression on that side. The procedure can address any underlying breathing issues from that side of the nose as well.
