Columella surgery. Is there any way to fix the columella? (Photo)

Hello Christinapdx,Thanks for your question.It is very common to have a post-op hanging columella that can be improved upon with surgery.However, it seems like you have level of alar rim retraction that is making your columella look like it hangs down too much.I would recommend that you consult with a revision rhinoplasty expert in your area to better understand how columellar surgery and alar rim retraction repair is appropriate for you.Good luck,Dr. Shah

Yes, there are ways of adjusting your columellar position. You also appear to have some alar retraction which is further exposing your nostrils. You can read more about hanging columella repair at my web reference link below.

In your case the columella shows more in the front view, because you have an alar retraction, then seems that the columella is too low. Your nasal tip is also over rotated and increases the columella show. You will need the correction of the alar retraction with some alar rim cartilage grafts or composite grafts. You need to have an evaluation in person with a Board Certified Plastic or Facial Plastic Surgeon, to evaluate your case.
