What can be done to make my hanging columella less noticeable while not creating more space between my nose and mouth? (photos)

July 25, 2024

I feel if my philtrum was any longer it would throw off my facial harmony and I would become self conscious of it. I don't think I could get a surgical lip lift due to having ehlers danlos and increased scarring due to that and I do not want to have to get consistent lip injections as an alternative. But my nostril size and the way it dips upsets me- especially side profile. I also want to address the bulbous tip.but really want to avoid upturned snub or Barbie nose as well. Is this possible?
