Answer: Can the nasal spine be removed? The nasal spine is the bony spur at the bottom of your nose where the columella (the fleshy part between the nostrils) joins the upper lip. It can certainly be removed at surgery. The indication is when there's too much fullness or show at this juncture between nose and lip. Usually it is done after other resections of cartilage and soft tissue haven't solved the issue. The picture suggests more than just bony removal will be required.

Answer: Can the nasal spine be removed? Sure it can but that will NOT raise the columella as requested. Additional steps are needed. Best to seek IN PERSON explanations from boarded rhinoplasty surgeons in your area...

Answer: Correction of Prominant Nasal Spine or Hanging Columella The anterior nasal spine can be reduced if there is significant fullness at the junction of the nose and the lip (columella-lip junction). One has to be extremely careful about reduction of the nasal spine on noses that have underprojected tip since reduction of the nasal spine will reduce the tip support and may necessitate adding more support which can be done in a variety of ways. Additionally, reduction of nasal spine will make the lip to look longer and narrow the angle between the columella and the lip. These dynamic changes are the reason that rhinoplasty is the most difficult procedure in plastic surgery and understanding of these dynamics is essential to producing pleasing outcomes. When the columella is hanging it can be retracted by riding it on the caudal septum (overlapping the cartilages) or by removing a small portion of the septum in a rectangular shape, along with removal of proportional amount of the redundant nose lining.

Answer: Columellar-plasty and nasal spine removal A columellar plasty can be performed as a stand-alone procedure, or as part of a rhinoplasty procedure. This involves trimming back excess caudal septum and skin on both sides of the inside of the columella. Occasionally a small portion of the nasal spine can also be resected when it is extremely prominent. For many examples of columellar plasty, please see the link below
