Am I a good candidate for a columelloplasty? (photos)

July 17, 2016
Asked By:Branca in Seattle, WA

My right side is very obviously hanging, and the left side a bit better. I was born that way. Is it going to change my profile negatively at all, considering there will be more space between my lips and the bottom of my nose? I also have concerns related to how apparent my nostrils are going to be with a columellosplasty since my tip goes a bit up. I definitely don't want it to look like a pig's snout from a frontal view. Thank you.
