Can you add volume to the columella with PDA threads? (photos)

Question

I had a revision tip rhinoplasty for nostril asymmetry and my surgeon much removed my columella due to a misunderstanding. Now it looks flat and weird from the side and front as well, and my nosetrils look unnaturally close. My surgeon suggested PDA threads to even it out as opposed to fillers, but all I could find online was nose thread lifting and contouring. Would it work for a problem like this? Thank you for your advice!

You appear to have a pleasing nasal appearance after your revision surgery. Perhaps your surgeon was suggesting thread lifting to raise the tip of your nose to perhaps get more columella exposure. I do not think this is a feasible alternative. Depending on your examination, delicate use of injectable fillers may be considered for lowering your columella several millimeters. I hope this is helpful. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Nice posted photos! NO threading last way to increase volume! Try low doseHA filler in multiple weekly sessions. Expect fees in the $1,000 areas
