Can a hanging columella be fixed with a rhinoplasty? (photo)

marelli
hello, i had open rhinoplasty a year ago, and for whatever reason the surgeon did not correct my columella. it hangs lower than my nostrils and when i smile it looks even worse. I do not want to go through the painful recovery of open rhinoplasty again so i was wondering if a hanging columella can be fixed with closed rhinoplasty or tip rhinoplasty?
