How do you fix droopy Columella?
A hanging columella can be corrected by trimming the end of an overly long nasal septum. The two nasal tip cartilages that sit within the columella can also be moved upward and stitched to the septum. This also creates a very stable nasal tip structure. Some columella skin may also be removed and stitched upwards.
Can a hanging Columella be fixed without surgery?
A columelloplasty to fix your hanging columella can be performed alone without altering any other components of the nose. An alarcolumellar disproportion, or hanging columella, can be adjusted by trimming the membranous and cartilaginous tissue.
