I have a hanging columella. It hangs all the time even when I smile. It makes it more apparent. Thats the only thing I want to change about my nose. Could I get by with tip plasty or should I try the non surgical botox filler for the hanging columella? I have included a pic of me smiling an a side pic of my nose.
