Revision rhinoplasty- columella strut Hello, I had an asian rhinoplasty in March. A rib cartilage was used to build my nose. My nose is over projected and a bit too long for my small face. My main concern is the columella strut was so low that it’s pushing down on my lip causing a dent and a u dent on my smile. Is there a minor thing that can be done to fix the dent and move the columella up so it’s not pushing my lip down or to cut the tip a little shorter? I don’t want to go under a full on rhinoplasty again. My smile is ruined.
