One side of my nose is flat/caved in. What would you recommend? (photos)

Asked By:carahmelie in Wichita, KS

I'm not sure if it's relevant, but I had the right side of my nose pierced about 4 years ago for about 4 months. Two years ago, I woke up one morning and the right side of my nose appeared to be flat. By touch, I can feel it's caved in. I have had no cosmetic surgery, but I am considering it because it makes me self conscious when I know lighting cast shadows and make it stand out!
