Does the columella tend to drop similar to the nose tip dropping during healing post rhinoplasty?

December 11, 2022

Just to get a general idea on the procedure, will the Dr need to take into consideration the dropping of the nose tip and columella when performing rhinoplasty? For example, we know the nose tip tends to drop due to gravity during healing stages, does the columella also tend to drop? Or, let's say it appears retracted fresh out of cast removal, is this placement of the columella often seen as the final result? Will it worsen as the nose tip drops, or drop along with, looking less retracted ?
