Is it normal for the columella to be sewn completely flat so that it doesn't show at all from the profile?

Asked By:sciarpa in Seattle, WA

My nose tip also seems very pointy and overprojected and upturned. I wanted a slightly rounded tip. I am 3 weeks out from a revision rhinoplasty with septum and ear graft to derotate and lengthen the nose that was overresected. I know I must have swelling left, but my nose seems too defined and pointy and I am especially really worried about the complete flatness of the columella, which exaggerates the miss piggy look from the upturned tip.
