Are there alternatives to a columella strut that can support a thick skinned nose tip?

January 3, 2023
Asked By:Neat1544 in San Francisco, California

Hi, I am 26 year old female and i had a consultation with a doctor who wanted to use a strut in my nose to bring tip support. But as understood by patients who had a strut , it makes the nose stiff as well as less dynamic and sometimes you feel it.Heceforth , i dont want to get this strut. What other things can be done to support the tip of a thick skin nose? I have a bit of a hanging columella and would hate the stiff sharp look a strut provides.
