Is it possible to just finely adjust the area right below the nose? (Photo)

Asked By:Fantastic576607 in New York, New York

27F, no previous history of any treatments, surgery, etc. I've always had this extra bit of what feels like cartilage where the bottom of my nose meets the philtrum/upper lip area. Since it doesn't touch the main parts of a rhinoplasty and it's such a small area, I'm wondering if there's a relatively simple solution for it and what a cost and recovery expectation might be. Thank you!
