Columelloplasty
You can certainly undergo a columelloplasty to trim the membranous and cartilaginous columella. This can be done under a local or general anesthesia depending upon the patient’s desire.

Hanging columella
Absolutely. Depending on the cause of the hanging columella (most commonly a long septum or overdeveloped lower lateral cartilages), this can be done via a tip rhinoplasty. You can leave the rest of your nose the way it is.

Columella repair without fixing bump?
In some situations columella can be fixed without treating the bump, but an exam in person will provide better information.

Rhinoplasty to fix columella only
The columella can be corrected without fixing the bump. However, your nose needs to be examined in person. There are conditions which are similar to a hanging columella that is not a hanging columella. For example, retracted alas may appear to give the same look, but are a different problem. A hanging tip can also appear to be similar.
