indentation on my nose

[mario13]

Hi there,

I was just wondering what you could suggest I could do about a small indentation right in the middle of my nose, I never had it when I was younger. I had to have an operation for pollops (small lumps that grow up you nose) a long time ago, I also suffer from hay fever and snore, I also have a problem breathing from one nostral when I lie down, sometimes. Don't laugh I sound lovely, I have made an appointment with the doctor just to check out there isn't a problem.

Its horrible as I can see it after applying make up, sometimes it is worse than others.  Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated, what is it, why, what are my options?

I appreciate your honest opinion...........

The external indentation of your nose probably has nothing to do with the internal problems of polyps, obstruction, allergies, or snoring.  Without an examination, it is not possible to determine if the defect is a result of the soft tissues of the nose or the underlying bone and cartilage framework.  You physician could readily evaluate it s nature and treatment.
