Hanging Columella Reduction Change the Profile?

I had rhinoplasty 5 years ago andi have a hanging columella that im looking to get fixed. Im happy with everything, but the columella just comes to low. my question is can i get it reduced (pulled back) and still keep the shape of the tip that i see from the profile view. Like, i want the same tip just pushed back, if this makes any sense. because if hes going to have to shape it again im worried it could come out worse. Thank you

Revision Rhinoplasty

Dear Jess, A consultation with an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon will help answer your questions. It is possible to fix the columella without altering the tip in the hands of an experienced surgeon. Without a direct examination and consultation it is difficult to know exactly what you desire for your aesthetic changes. I would see a few surgeons for their expert opinions and then weigh your pros and cons after direct examination. Best regards and thank you for your inquiry!... more
