Botox for Deep Line on Nose Tip?
Can I get Botox injected to the tip of my nose to get rid of a deep line? My nose that looks like a butt or do I have to get surgery?

Fillers for deep line on nose tip
Dear Shelly,
Remarkable work can be done using Restylane and Perlane to correct the shape of the nose. These non-surgical treatments will address your concerns without the need for surgery. Generally, you will need to find a cosmetic dermatologist to do this. Often general plastic surgeons and facial plastic surgeons are more oriented toward the long term results of surgery.

Botox not helpful for line on nose tip
From what you described, it does not appear that Botox will be helpful to resolve the vertical line on your nasal tip. A dermal filler may be helpful, or you may need surgical correction.
Consult with an experienced facial plastic surgeon in your area so as to discuss your realistic options.
Good Luck!

Injectable Fillers may correct a deep line on the tip of your nose.
BOTOX would not be helpful for the deep line on your nose. You may gain significant improvement by having an Injectable Filler treatment performed. This is with topical anesthetic, and there would be no downtime. Feel free to post / email your photo, and I'll be happy to share my thoughts.
I hope this helps, and best regards.

I suggest you seek out a specialist in noses and rhinoplasty to discuss your options. I think that in most cases the best way to treat what you describe is...

BOTOX relaxes muscle movement, fillers add contour
From your description, it sounds like something BOTOX would not be helpful for. In general BOTOX may improve lines in the face that are from muscular activity. What you describe may be helped by the "off-label" use of a filler like Juvederm.
The nasal tip is in general made of two cartilages. If those cartilages are separated, particularly in patients with thinner skin, it can create the appearance of a cleft or indentation. The can be described as a "bifid" tip...
