Can a rhinoplasty lengthening the columella shorten the philtrum? (photos)

Asked By:swe5t in Chicago, Illinois

I want to get a rhinoplasty to fix multiple issues with my nose, one of the fixes involving lengthening the columella. I also happen to have a too-long philtrum. Will lengthening my columella also fix a long philtrum?
