My nose used to be symmetrical. Over the years I noticed a round bump on the right side of the tip. I thought it could be a cyst but was told by a dermatologist that it was “think skin” which I never had before. It seems like my septum might be deviated as well. I never broke my nose or had any significant trauma. I’m 50 years old. Can the numb be corrected to match the other side od the nose? I also notice a division between left and right side of the tip, like they two sides separated

Answer: Rhinoplasty Your tip cartilages are asymmetric in position and possibly size. With a rhinoplasty these can be repositioned and resized for symmetry and a finer tip.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. You are an excellent candidate for rhinoplasty. I agree with your assessment and think it is one of the most beautifying surgeries that we do as plastic surgeons. As we age, our cartilaginous structures continue to grow and that includes the tip of your nose. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to rhinoplasty surgery. It is important to only see plastic surgeons with extensive experience in rhinoplasty, ie perform at least 6 per month and have performed hundreds of cases. Also, critically evaluate on-line galleries to see if their art form resonates with yours. Rhinoplasty is definitely a grey haired plastic surgeon's sport. Best wishes to you.
