Would a columelloplasty fix this hanging columella? (Photo)

September 7, 2016
Asked By:Exoticbliss in Miami, FL

I had Rhinoplasty almost 5 years ago for dorsal hump. Doc told me I would need to refine tip a bit to match changed to the bridge. I now have a problem I never had before. The bridge looks better but now my tip is off. My nostrils are very noticeable from the side, before they were hardly visible. My columella tilts a little more to one side and hangs lower while my tip is upturned. Would Columelloplasty fix this? Would it make my nose look shorter/upturned?
