PDO thread lift vs. small procedure to improve my hanging columella?

June 23, 2022
Asked By:Generous441583 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

here's my natural nose, the curvature of it is more noticeable when i smile, especially looking from side profile, and from the front you see my columella hanging. I guess i have a "bottom heavy" nose. What are some options to improve or completely get rid of my hanging columella and have a less rounded nose? Would a thread lift work? I'd rather avoid a rhinoplasty as my partner is against it. But I'm open to smaller procedures requiring local anesthesia. Update: pictures added
