Does a longer columella strut provide more tip support than a small one because I do not think so. If a columella strut is a regular size it gives support... if it is a long one and say it goes down to the nasal spine how does that extra length at the base of the strut give more support? I am just confused because I think they would give equal support. I ask this because my strut had to be trimmed in a revision and am curious with the anatomy?
