Answer: 54 year old female & always had small dent on nose but it's gotten worse, what can I do? (Photo) Hello Linda, The lower lateral nasal cartilage on your right is concave while the one on your left (the normal anatomy) is convex. The best treatment is to have a tiplasty nasal surgery where the cartilage is flipped over and sutured into the normal position. With the advent of injectable fillers, there may be a temporary fix, I would not recommend as it is temporary and dangerous in this part of the nose. Choose your rhinoplasty surgeon most carefully. Good luck and be well. Michael Persky, MD Encino, CA

Answer: Dent and crucked nose it would be very simple to treat this small dent with injection of filler. However, more serious condition, a crucked nose would require complex rhinoseptoplasty. In person consultation with a plastic surgeon with expertise in nose surgery, is recommended. Good luclk.
