Can Columella Strut That Causes Droopy Tip/hanging Columella Be Raised?

Daisy73
7 months ago, I had rhinoplasty and a columella strut was placed. I believe the doctor placed the strut too low, giving me a hanging columella/droopy tip appearance. I am looking into getting a revision, but was wondering if there was a way to raise the columella strut? If the columella strut is raised, can the droopy tip appearance go away? Or, would this require tip grafting (from the ear) and removal of the columella strut?
