Isolated Hanging Columella Surgery Implications? (photo)

juliettt
I have a hanging columella & the inside of my nostrils show a lot (particularly right profile). I’ve never had a rhinoplasty & I’d like to correct this particular area of my nose only. Is this a complicated/heavy operation? Would it affect my face’s frontal appearance? Does this type of intervention cause a lot of bruising & swelling? How long does it take for the swelling to subdue? After how much time would my nose's appearance be decent enough to go to work and have a social life? Thanks!
