Split in a Nostril Tip Repair Can Be Rounded?

Question

A childhood split in a nostril tip healed in a v-shaped point. When my nose is runny moisture collects there, itches, and sometimes threatens to drip. Can the nostril be surgically rounded again?

Stephen Weber MD, FACS · Answer

This can usually be improved. You would need to seek a consultation or post photos to get a specific idea of what would need to be done. Typically, a scar revision can be performed where the old scar is cut out and very carefully repaired to create a natural nostril contour. This can be performed in the office under local anesthesia in many cases. I hope this information is helpful.

Dear mevina

	
		Your other alternative to scar revision is filling the groove with a filler
	
		You may want to try something temporary to see what it would look like (1 year)
	
		If you like it, we have permanent options
