Can my loose columellar skin be fixed? (photo)

Asked By:Troypgreene1990 in Longview, TX

I have a good bit of excess caudal septal cartilage at the base of my nose. This forces my philtrum to protrude and creates a very obtuse nasolabial angle. If this is corrected, how can the skin be addressed? Will it be sutured up and back into place? I'm afraid that I skin will remain loose and hang. I have no interest in changing my whole nose, just the columellar area and lip where it protrudes.
