I have a hanging columella. When I push my columella up with a finger, it feels like there is no tissue in the hanging part of the columella. My question now, how is such a hanging columella being fixed? Is it in general possible to push the columella up and reattach it with a sutural, so it won't hang down anymore? How long does it take my nose to heal (and get rid of the sutural), after a surgery for fixing a hanging columella?
