Can the base of my columella along with the rest of my columella be raised? (Photos)

Since my rhinoplasty 6 months ago my nostrils are retracted but also my columella shows more than I'd like and I dislike the angle. It used to fold inward, at 90 degrees from the base. Is it possible to adjust the base of the columella by lifting it up so it tucks between the nostrils? Would a columelloplasty work for this? I believe this occurred because my nose was de-projected, which subsequently required the angle of my nose to change. The columella, however, was not adjusted.
