Septum and Hanging Columella & Projecting?
Dr.'s what kind of lift does a hanging columella get from shortening the caudal septum1-2mm and trimming 2mm off anterior media crura caudally?Seems like a lot has been removed too me.

OR is the lifted appearance from a cephalic trim or columellar strut?Tip was not to be rotated or lifted! I have already spoken w/my Dr. and got nowhere-I am 3 months post-op/Revision.

Complex rhinoplasty question
I want to commend you on your detailed investigation of what was done to your nose.
a few comments - three months may still be too early to pass judgement on the appearance as final.
and generally rhinoplasty is like a chess match. all of the manuevers are inter-related.
so the answer to your questions may vey well be yes.

Hanging columella, revision, etc.
Your surgeon should answer these questions since he knows what he did--if not get a second opinion from a revision rhinopasty surgeon.
