Wide/thick columella, swollen/bulbous tip, flared nostrils, nostril show in profile. How can thsi be fixed?

Asked By:Anon534584

I had an initial rhinoplasty in December 2015, and a revision in December 2016. I am having a nostril base reduction performed in April. I'm concerned with my wide, unnatural-looking columella (between nostrils). I also don't like the way my nostrils appear to flare out in the frontal view, away from the centre of my nose (vs. pointing towards the tip). Is this because of the swollen tip and columella pushing them out? Will refining the tip and reducing the width of the columella address this?
