I had rhinoplasty 7 months ago, I would like to have a revision and lift or tuck in the columella. Would this make my nose look shorter from the front? I don't like how my nostrils are so hidden, it makes the tip seem bulbous, especially when I smile. Will tucking in the columella fix this? What type of procedure would I need? The rhinoplasty I had left me swollen and bruised, will this recovery be shorter? Please help!
