My right hand lower lateral cartilage makes a popping noise and slightly shifts about at times, is this a normal phenomenon or does it mean a ligament has broken or weakened?

Answer: Clicking or popping in the nasal tip may be "normal", provided your airway is patent, and your nose appears pleasing. Some people experience clicking in the nasal base after rhinoplasty, and occasionally some feel clicking or popping as your lower lateral cartilages are moved past the bottom of your nasal septum. If all else is fine with your nose, this should not be a significant issue. Consider consulting with a rhinoplasty specialist for an evaluation. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph

Answer: Cartilage "Popping" in the Nose This is normal, and can happen to someone who has never had a rhinoplasty, or individuals who have had surgery of some type on their nose. Regardless, if it is something you are worried about, always best to have it checked out by a professional in the field.
