It feels and looks like the tip of my nose is missing cartilage straight down the middle which causes the dent. Is there any non-surgical options or would surgery be the better solution? I'm not sure what could be done to fix the issue.

Answer: Rhinoplasty, Toronto Plastic Surgeon Dr. Adibfar Hello the nose dent you are referring to is the seperation of the two "lower lateral cartilages" of the nose which are noticeable in a thin skin nose.Your options would be:1) surgical rhinoplasty to re approximate the cartilages with sutures2) non surgical use of fillers ( hyaluronic acid) to inject between the skin and cartilage and therefore camouflage the cartilages . This is more immediate, less expensive but may have to get redone in the future.Thank you

Answer: A cleft between the lower lateral cartilages can be corrected with a tip rhinoplasty. The dent you referred to is actually separation of the two cartilages the form the nasal tip. This can be corrected easily by way of a tip rhinoplasty.
