Suggest Treatment For Nasal Cartilage Deformity
Hi, I have a deformity of the cartilage on the right nostril and have looked for advice online but can t find anything of much help as most results show people with the cartilage being inside the nose but mine sticks of the bottom right of my nose and is visible. I am from the UK and am wondering if their is anything i can do to sort this as i cannot breath through my right nostril at all 0% which results in me having trouble sleeping nor can i breath out. i can send a picture on request. Thank you

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
An ENT specialist or plastic surgeon should be able to help modify the cartilage both for appearance and also to help improve your breathing.
This would not be an uncommon procedure.
Your GP would be able to refer you to someone who would be able to help you.
I hope this helps
