Question: My four months baby has a very short columella. Will it grow and become less short?

My four months baby has a very short columella. Will it grow and become less short?

sorry for insisting but i'm a little anxious.
do you really think it's not short? when I see other babies' noses, I think my son's is so different.
I am not discrediting your assessment. Please do not misunderstand me. I would love if you could tell me a little more about your experience with similar cases.
Do you think it will have a good ratio between the columella and the other structures of the nose? I ask that, because I currently find his columella disproportionate. So I wonder if the nose structures grow at the same rate, so the columella will remain short.
I know that columella will not impair the functions of the nose. My question is about the shape of the nose itself.
I hope you understand my concerns.
Thanks for your patience.

Thank you.
I would like to ask one more question.
And about the retraction? Do you also think that his columella is retracted?
Have you ever seen retracted columella in babies? Does it become less retracted?

Thank you.

Sorry for so many messages. I will try to explain why I am so anxious.

I read a publication about effects of prenatal alcohol exposure in JAMA called : “Association Between Prenatal Alcohol Exposure and Craniofacial Shape of Children at 12 Months of Age” And this study shows that: “Results indicate a mild midfacial recession suggestive of subclinical hypoplasia and an upturning of the nasal tip in those exposed to alcohol prenatally. This phenotype was evident even when drinking was at a low level and mothers ceased alcohol consumption in the first trimester.” “Our study has examined the association of low levels of PAE using a more rigorous assessment of both face shape and alcohol consumption. We show that certain aspects of the phenotype (upturning of the nasal tip and midfacial hypoplasia) can be detected even when the maximum number of standard drinks (10 g of AA) did not exceed 7 per week and 2 per occasion. We did not observe the classic diagnostic features for FAS of smooth philtrum, reduced palpebral fissure length, and thin vermillion of the upper lip; it is likely that these features emerge only at higher levels of exposure.”

I also read that facial features can occur only if mother drink during the period of gastrulation.
And I drunk three sips of wine once probably in this period (before I knew I was pregnant). And now my son has a variation exactly in the same structure that is mentioned in the article for light drinking.
So I am in doubt if this variation was caused by alcohol. I know he doesn’t have the sentinels features, but this study refers subtle features with light drinking.
I know I have been boring you and I am really sorry. I am not this kind of person, but I am trying to understand this.


P.S. 1- when I look his profile (side view) I can’t see his columella. I can see only the alar margin. It also seems to be bent (is this also normal?) 2-Is it possible to see this in the pictures? (I don’t know if I sent good pictures.)

Thank you very much for your patience.
