I have a question about nose tip cartilage. Two nights ago, my boyfriend pinched the area in between my nostrils but also encompassing the lower part of the tip of my nose. It was an extremely hard pinch--a pain I have never felt before. Clear liquid began to drain from my nostrils for most of the night. Should I be worried about long-term damage to that area of my nose? I'm worried that the intricacies of my cartilage may have been slightly crushed or otherwise traumatized.

You have two options-- one is to do a intranasal procedure which will give you some improvement, but the most effective way is to do a direct upper lip lift.

There are methods that are commonly used to thin the skin as well as the framework to refine the nose in a very natural way without obvious tell-tale surgical signs.
Dear Maddly,For a better balance to the facial features and a better profile you need chin implant. the procedure is usually done with rhinoplasty . For the nose, the skin looks a bit thick and it needs shaping.
