Can columellar strut septum extension be removed and tip sutured smaller?

November 1, 2013
Asked By:Pepper123 in New York, NY

I had a bad rhinoplasty experience a year ago where unknowingly a strut graft was put in my nose extending the length and which inhibits my smile (unable to hardly lift upper lip). I now have a longer nose with a very bulbous tip... Can the graft be removed and tip sutured smaller?
