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 Hi during a rhinoplasty tip is addressed as part of the surgery to enhance nasal shape and profile.It is better for you to consult with a facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and discuss the surgical procedure and the post op recovery

Answer: It's very likely that this can be improved. More ... From this one photo (and 3/4 photos from both sides would give the most information), it looks as though your right tip cartilage is rounder and broader than your left. The tip is made up of two cartilages, and it's fairly frequent that they are a little different. The dent you see is probably just the space between the cartilages. The woman whose photo I put with my answer here had very large tip cartilages with a large dent between them. Why does it look like it's getting bigger. It's probably because you're getting older. The nasal skin sometimes gets thinner, or the underlying tissue gets thinner, with age, and as that happens, it's easier to see the details of the structure underneath the skin. As you see that more, it looks more like the structure is pressing out on the skin, making it look like the cartilages are growing.

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.
