27F, no previous history of any treatments, surgery, etc. I've always had this extra bit of what feels like cartilage where the bottom of my nose meets the philtrum/upper lip area. Since it doesn't touch the main parts of a rhinoplasty and it's such a small area, I'm wondering if there's a relatively simple solution for it and what a cost and recovery expectation might be. Thank you!

Answer: Rhinoplasty That’s the lower end of the septum. The cartilage just needs to be trimmed back 3 or 4 millimeters. I see it all the time. Sometimes makes your upper lip seem tight. Can be done under local anesthesia with incisions just inside the nostril and take about half an hour. Believe it or not many surgeons don’t know how to do this amazingly simple procedure

Answer: Correction of lip/columella junction It is usually a bone or cartilage prominence that creates this obtuse angle in the junction between the lip and the nose. A simple procedure that will remove a portion of the bone (spina nasalis) or cartilage, or both, would take care of this and the columella base would retract. This can be done in local anesthesia. Good luck.
