Hanging columella, retracted alar rim, or both? (Photos)

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.

Based on your photos, there is an exaggerated curvature of your Columella that is causing it to hang. Sometimes this is associated with a long nasal septum. If this is something that's causing you significant dissatisfaction, please consider Consulting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists who offer computer Imaging so you can see what might be best for you moving forward.
