When looking up, it looks like the one side of the bridge of my nose is lower than the other. Nose looks crooked in lighting, the one side of my nose is always a shadow. The red line that looks like a scar is the indent and is more obvious in person. The bones of the bridge on the one side are apparent than the other.
