Would I need a rhinoplasty if I want to make changes to my columella or are there less invasive options? (photos)

Asked By:T1308 in Orlando, Florida

Considering a rhinoplasty to adjust the bottom of my nose which I believe is called the columella. Would I need a full rhinoplasty if that is all I would like modified or could I potentially have a less invasive procedure? What would be involved? I’m happy with the bone/top half of my nose, just would like some work on the bottom half. Thanks!
