What you have is termed a bifid nasal tip. It is due to the slight separation of the lower lateral cartilages of the nose, which is quite common in many individuals.

The permanent treatment is to place surgical sutures to bring the 2 halves of the cartilages (middle crura) together to remove the gap. This is done via a simple day surgery procedure lasting 45min. It is done through the nostril with no scars on the nose under light sedation and local anaesthesia.
