Nostril Show After Rhinoplasty, How can this be Fixed? (photo)

aleksk
My concern is too much nostril show after a recent rhinoplasty. I understand a columella lift is possible. By applying digital pressure I can see this will solve the nostril show, but will make the tip appear even more drooping (it already is, although it could be simply swelling). Will a lifting of the columella and trimming some of the cartilage in the area be a solution? How soon can this be performed? Would any grafts be indicated? How would you approach the problem? Thank you for your time.
