Is it possible to fix indented nostril? Could it be a small revision on the specific area? (Photos)

Asked By:Maximillian80 in Los Angeles, California

As you can see from the photographs, the left side of my nostril has a small indent in the skin of my columella. I understand that it may become less noticeable over time due to factors like swelling. But will it be possible to get it closer to the edited version of the picture? What would be the required procedure? Would the surgeon need to re-cut and re-stitch the entire length of the columella, or could they simply perform a small revision on only the indented area? I am not interested in fillers as I have been told they are not a great solution in that area. Thank you very much for your insight.
