Should I Go for a Hanging Columella Revision? (photo)

I had rhinoplasty/septoplasty 10 months ago. Although my breathing is great now, I am concerned with the appearance of my tip. My columella hangs way to much making my nose appear heavy. My doctor said that he can fix it by shaving columella down. I am worried that there's more to it than just an excessive columellar show. Should I go with what he says or should I seek a second opinion? Thank you. Katarina
