Raised vertical line down nose tip. Can anything be done to fix it? (Photo)

Question

All google results bring back a bifid tip, which is the opposite of what I have. It's not a depression, but more of a ridge. I've gotten no answers. Are there any professionals that have seen this before or have a clue? I would also like to know the abuse of my left nostril resembling that of a camel and what can be done to fix it.

based on your limited photos, you appear to have a bump involving your lower bridge and this is either cartilage or an implant, depending on what was performed. The raised vertical line involving your nasal tip May be the same. Consider obtaining a copy of your operative report and consultation with another rhinoplasty specialist to gain clarity. Hope this helps. Doctor Joseph

A ridge on the nose is going to be either cartilage or bone that is palpable or visible through the skin.  In a less common situation it could be some soft tissue something like a tissue band or a blood vessel.
If you don't like the appearance, see a facial plastic surgeon who should be able to reduce this. Remember, reduce, but not necessarily eliminate!
