The nose protrusion he has is to the TOP of the nose bone. Not the base ; ANS. The surgeon told him he had a hanging columella due to lack of support under the nose. So, you would NOT trim the ANS for that since it supports the base of the nose. Trimming the ANS in someone with a hanging columella stands to collapse support for the base of the nose. The protrusion to his nose bone that his surgeon is advancing the maxilla relative to is area to the TOP of his nose bone that is sticking out. He's got a photo up pointing to where it exactly is.
