Can you create a hanging columella with injections? (Photo)

Question

I had rhinoplasty about 6 months ago in Korea. The doctor used donated dermis for my bridge and septal + ear cartilage for my tip. Long story short: I want my columella to hang more and get a nice infratip. So that my nose looks more natural. My doctor said he could do that with dermis filler. But I couldn't find anything about dermis filler online. Another doctor told me that an operation would be necessary to create a hanging columella. I need more advice. Please help me!

Most patients with a hanging columella, request to have it repaired and straightened. Perhaps consider re-asking you a question with photographs to better explain what you're looking to achieve. Thank you. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

I personally do not recommend injection fillers on the columella. First, it does not last forever. Second, there is a risk of filler necrosis. Third, the amount of correction is limited.
If you want to make a nice infratip, small procedure such as cartilage graft on that area is a best option. Thanks.
