My nose tip or columella hangs down. Any suggestions? (photos)

Asked By:Anonymous121212 in Barrie, ON

My nose tip or columella hangs down and I want to know if there is a way to shrink down the base of the tip or top of the columella. I say both because I'm not sure what should be done to reduce the droop. What is the recovery time on this procedure and an normal cost for this procedure in Ontario, Canada? I had a rhinoplasty and results are great but he said he doesn't touch nostrils or the columella. Thanks.
