That is me… When I asked at the clinic where I had my first surgery, they said they extended it with septal cartilage and built a column as a strut. I cannot make a pig nose, but I can move it up and down more than expected. Is that because the support has weakened? I am considering whether to leave the strut in because I am worried about columellar retraction when it is removed. If I leave it, they would correct it by lowering the septal strut that was inserted, so would it stop moving like it does now…?
