Hi, I am looking to address the tip of my nose. I am unsure if I have a hanging columella, retracted alar rim, or both. My concern is mainly being able to see into my nostrils from the side profile which tends to be more obvious when I smile. Thanks
Answer: Rhinoplasty: things you should know Thank you for your question and photos. You appear to have a hanging columella, which can be addressed during a rhinoplasty procedure. Excess tissue can also be removed to make your nostrils appear more narrow and symmetrical.

Answer: Hanging columella or retracted Alar rims? Hanging columella or retracted alar rims? The main defect is the hanging columella. You do have a slightly high arch to your Alar rims but I would say that 75% or more of the issue is with the hanging columella. at any rate I would only address the Columella if you were to proceed with surgery and leave the alar rims alone.

Answer: Rhinoplasty surgery Hello! Thank you for your question.I have evaluated your case from the photos you provided and I can say that you have a retracted columella and you need an alar base reduction. Believe me with a rhinoplasty surgery you can have a more elegant and feminine nose. Your nostrils show too much when you smile probably because of the retracted columella, your tip can tend to be droopy.Best regards!

Answer: Hanging columella vs. retracted nostrils... It appears as though you have a bit of both. During rhinoplasty, the columella can be brought up some and supported better so that it doesn't droop when you smile. It's difficult to bring the nostrils down when it's your natural anatomy. Be sure to find a rhinoplasty specialist for consultation.
