How to fix a protruding caudal septum? (photo)

Asked By:Jake2121 in Dallas, TX

My caudal septum is very bottom heavy and causes no space between the upper lip and base of the nose when smiling I have had a primary rhinoplasty (collumella strut). How do you reduce the base of the nose without dropping the tip due to a caudal septum trim? I want 3mm+ of caudal septum removed from the base. I've had a caudal septum trim but my septum protrudes so far down it sits next to my lip when smiling.
