MY NOSTRILS ARE VISABLE FROM MY PROFILE VIEW

Question:
I like my nose except the profile view. In profile, the columella hangs down too far so you can see inside my nostril. Is this a simple repair that could be done under local anesthetic or is rhinoplasty needed?

Answer:
I would have to see you or at least photos of you to be sure, but if the hanging columella is the only issue with your nose, a limitted procedure under local anesthesia is a possibility. Fixing the issue may require a more complicated procedure, however depending on your exact anatomy.
