Whats the Difference Between a Columellar Strut and Nasal Spine Augmentation? (photo)

mimi86usa
I was and am trying to get the result of whats in the picture. Ive had a premaxillary implant fitted a year ago to improve my nasalabial angle and it has completely ruined my smile, i cant even show my teeth. Plus it still feels a bit uncomfortable and after the swelling subsided the results weren't really that great. I talked to my surgeon about removing the premaxillary implant and having nasal spine augmentation instead, but he recommended a columellar strut, I'm not sure. Any suggestions?
