I have read septum or rib should be used, but what if septum or a rib is not available for use? 1) What else can be used? 2) Can this be done closed rhinoplasty revision? 3) Why does retraction occur in the first place? 4) The bottom of my nose is very flat. I am missing middle part of my nose from front view & tip from side view. Is that because of retracted columella or something else?

Answer: Considering revision rhinoplasty? What you need to know first Hello, and thank you for your question. Based on the photos you provided, you do appear to have a retracted columella. To correct this, a surgeon can lengthen the columella and septum by placing a cartilage graft –either through rib and septal cartilage or one taken from the ear.

Answer: Retruded Columella It appears from the photos that you have a slightly retruded columella. I'm not sure whether your columella was slightly retruded even before surgery or whether you had significant retraction of the columella after your surgery.
