Can nose columella be raised using closed rhinoplasty? Is it an easy fix?

Asked By:Jake2121 in Dallas, TX

I am 8 months post op and am wondering I have a strong lower caudual septum which is pushing my columella down. Can this be fixed using closed? I feel like the tongue and groove technique has to be an open rhinoplasty? I understand trimming the lower caudal septum may fix things but if it has already been trimmed may he have to resort to the tongue and groove? I think it needs to be raised 2 or 3mm.
