I think my nose is fine completely except the columella part itself it feels extra and my nose has lines on it I wish it can go a little in like 1mm nothing more or less,it makes my long nose look more prominent and my nostrils are visible from side I don't like it I just want it to be normal can it be sticked to be a millimetre in I don't want to change the tip or uplift much.
