Surgeon took away Infratip lobule and retracted columella through tip projection. He said he can put fillers for Infratip lobule. Is this ideal? Also retracted columella, nose very flat at bottom. Any chance columella will soften and drop back down? He lifted tip 2 mm against my hesitation and nose is too upturned for me. What can be done to have tip drop 2 mm to original position? Devastated and regretful. Was only to slightly narrow nose. 3 weeks post op septorhinoplasty. Please help!
