What's up with the crooked end of my nose? Is it possible that this snuck up on me? (photos)

Dear Queen1965,

From
the clinical photograph, there appears to be some noticeable asymmetry of the
soft tissue, cartilages and skin at the
end of the nose. This could have been
developmental, traumatic and it would have be unusual to be slowly
developmental.

Regardless
of the etiology, as long as it has stabilized and it has not progressed, there
are several options. The simplest option
would be use of soft tissue filers, such as Juvéderm® Voluma™ to recreate more
definition, refinement and symmetry at the end of your nose. Surgical correction can be performed under
local anaesthesia and involves repositioning the cartilages and stabilizing
them in place for long-term correction.

Having
trained in both plastic surgery and ear/nose/throat-head and neck oncology, I
have been performing cosmetic rhinoplasty, as well as injection rhinoplasty,
for over 20 years. I have found during
the consultation that performing computer imaging to show patients the range of
improvements that can be achieved is very helpful in patients deciding whether
to proceed and what kind of aesthetic enhancement they want to proceed with.

For

I
hope this information has been of some assistance and best of luck.

Sincerely,
