Trimming cartilage from the caudal septum during rhinoplasty. How much is too much?

nearlynatural
I had 3mm segment of cartilage trimmed from the caudal septum "to reduce excessive fullness of columellar base" during rhinoplasty. I now have decreased sense of smell, excessive airflow (burning sensation), and dry nostril. Was too much taken away?
