Is this considered a minor revision rhinoplasty and less invasive?

Asked By:MJ622 in Atlanta, GA

Hello. I had a consultation with a rhinoplasty specialist about having some minor work done to my tip. He said he could lift my columella up slightly and shave a little off the tip through a closed approach. I just wanted to know if this would be considered a minor revision surgery and "less invasive" procedure? Thanks!
