I had a closed rhinoplasty 4 weeks ago and I'm worried about my nose tip and columella.My nose tip looks too up turned,the distance between the nose tip and my upper lip appears to be longer and unnatural,and when I smile my nose looks piggy(since the tip is stiff,it's not dropping anymore,because it would "hide" my nostrils and decrease the distance between nose tip and upper lip) and my columella is too exposed in my face.Will my nose tip fall and my will columella be less exposed?
