I have had primary rhinoplasty it was a tip rotation (columella strut) and hump removal and I just had revision to fix my hanging columella and bottom heavy nose. I addressed this and how I didn’t like the caudal septum protruding so much. This is not my skin hanging this is all septum pushing down on my nose. He trimmed 2mm of septum and I am 2 weeks post op.
