  7. WHAT IS THE DEFORMITY...

What is the deformity causing this indent in the top of my nose? Had primary rhinoplasty 7 year ago.

Asked By:rhinojourney0522 in Manchester United Kingdom, GB

I know my nose is now deviated and the tip area is asymmetric but I can't figure out what this is. It's definitely the bone I can feel if I run my finger over it it goes down and out to the left until you can't feel the bone structure. Is it because of my deviation? If it was straightened would this go? I have closed off one nostril and breathed in, this makes it more noticeable. At night when I go to sleep I also find one nostril stuffed up, clears when I get up in the morning.

Can I get my Medial Crus reduced? (photo)
Richard W. Fleming, MD (retired) says:

With a modified nasal tip plasty you can narrow your columella by reducing the space between your medial crura. Although not visible in these pictures you probably have a hanging columella which can also be elevated.

What are my options for lowering nostrils? I am unhappy with them. A non surgical option would be ideal, but open to all.
Richard W. Fleming, MD (retired) says:

Your nostril show can be corrected by elevating your hanging columella (the strip between your nostrils) and lowering your nostril rims with small cartilage grafts. This can be done under local anesthesia or mild sedation. I would not ant to correct this problem using fillers.
