Columella very straight, any way to fix? (Photos)

April 5, 2025
Asked By:mickmichaelyn in Anchorage, Alaska

Had my surgery April of 2022. Overall, really love my results aesthetically and functionally. One thing I think gives away the surgery and looks a bit unnatural to me is that my post-op columella is almost a straight line, and I'm wondering if there is an option for revision that focuses just on adding a bit of a convex shape back to the columella, such as with a graft? Non surgical or surgical options welcomed. I've included a pre-op photo of my nose. To me it looks like I already had very little tissue in that area, so I can't blame the surgeon for the straightness
