I Have Thin Nostril Rims And Weak Lower Lateral Cartilages, What Can I Do To Firm Up My Nose?

Asked By:Ponder85 in London, CR4 1EH

I am a black male, my ala rims are thin but they connect to medium size nose. but the structure inside the nose is not strong. When I flare my nose I can see the tip move and I can see the lateral crus move, recently I developed a small line in my tip through to my columella. My nose used to be strong but over time just got weaker, is there anyway it can be made strong and possibly aesthetically pleasing. I can breathe fine as my nose is now its just the aesthetics that have always bothered me.
