It's almost as if there is no angle between my lip and nose. It's very embarrassing. It makes my nose look very pointy.
Answer: Obtuse nasal angle The angle between the nose and philtrum is obtuse and is not aesthetically pleasing for a male. It can be corrected by reducing the vertical height of the columella by reducing part of the caudal septum and sometimes the nasal spine. It is almost similar to a tension nose. RegardsDr. J

Answer: Rhinoplasty possibility Your concern can be addressed with a rhinoplasty procedure that would create a deeper junction between the lip and nose.

Answer: Yes This can be addressed fairly easily - what you have is called "tension nose" and is substantially a nasal septum which has overgrown to pull the skin upwards.

Answer: My philtrum runs to tip of my nose. Leaving no distinction between my nose and upper lip. Can this be corrected? That can be addressed with a closed rhinoplasty.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA...................

Answer: Many options Thanks for the picturesThe angle between the lip and nasal columella is very obtuse. It can be corrected by the reducing of the nasal spine(behind the lip) and sometimes the caudal septal cartilage (behind the columella). The surgery can be performed with a intraoral access or closed rhinoplasty. Sometimes may also require elongation of the upper lip by a intraoral Z-plasty.You should see a rhinoplasty specialist.
