Has anyone seen this nose cartilage loss/splitting before? (Photos)

ctwr
Nose basically symmetrical/no indentation before. Cartilage splits from bottom to top. Unfortunately, does not seem to be slowing down. Have seen 2 ENT doctors, they have not seen this in other patients. No past trauma/surgery/drugs. 50 year old male, physical/blood work, CPR High Sensitivity, ESR normal, no hypermobility. Anyone seen this in other patients? If so, were they fixable? Need help. Thank you for your input!
