Is this a hanging columella? (photos)

August 15, 2023
Asked By:hollyematthews in England, United Kingdom

I was wondering if there’s anything non-surgical that could maybe at least give the illusion of my nose not looking so droopy. The tip seems to hang past my nostrils and my nostrils look rather wide from the side. I know the issue can probs only really be fixed with surgery but I’m so afraid of general anesthetic. I feel like my nose anatomy also affects my smile/ teeth visibility. When my mouth is resting you can’t see any of my top teeth, and when I smile, you still can’t see all of it.
