Re: Bulbous nose tip and hanging columella. Would I need a full rhinoplasty, and how long would recovery take?

Newromantic
I've been toying with the idea of fixing my slight bulbous nose tip and my hanging columella for years now. Just wondering if the down time for this procedure is equal to that of a full rhinoplasty? The dorsum is fine, no bumps. Would it heal faster and be not as invasive procedure as a full rhinoplasty. Also in cost as well? Thank you! :) Liliana
