Can Botox Shrink/Refine my Nose?
Would botox be able to give more definition to my nose around the area above both nostrils, giving the nose a less triangular look.

Botox does not reshape noses well
If you tried to change the shape of the nose, you might get the result you want, but even if treated by an expert who truly knows the facial anatomy very well, diffusion to adjacent areas can have the Botox affect unwanted muscles and this could lead to unwanted asymmetry of the face, especially around the mouth. You could look as if you had a stroke. It might be hard to smile, pronounce certain letters, use a straw, brush your teeth, etc.

Botox can produce very subtle differences in the tone of the nasal muscles.

Bunny lines and softening of the nasal tip and subtle changes in the nasal highlights-these generally do not fit the description of refining a nose. Non surgically, there is much more power in the fillers. Beyond this, it is hard to do better than a properly executed rhinoplasty. Just make sure you effectively communicate to your potential surgeon what you are looking for.

No. Botox relaxes muscle while a Rhinoplasty reduces excess cartilage of the nasal tip. Sounds more like a Rhinoplasty to address the concerns, that you have, with your nose.

Botox and nose shape
The only change I am aware of that can be achieved by Botox administration into the nose, is a slight lifting of the tip of the nose. I am unaware of any restructuring that can occur or change in the nasal shape.

Botox for nose
We commonly use Botox to reduce the "bunny lines" on either side of the nose. However, this won't change the shape of your nose. Injectable fillers can add volume to the nose to hide a hump, but surgery is the best option to address your concern.

Botox is Great, but Noses Not Its Territory
Don't know if you are from Rye, New York or just savor that great bread on which to have a hot pastrami at Katz's Deli. Either way, you are in a good place.
Now, back to noses. In any event, forget Botox. It's a great drug for wrinkles but it is not a panacea.

Can Botox Reshape the Nose?
Hi RR. Modifying the tip of the nose, right above the nostrils, is not possible with Botox. Although there are answers here related to injecting the musculature of the nose, this would not affect the look of the tip of the nose. You are better served to consider rhinoplasty (nose surgery). Good luck.

Botox Rhinoplasty
Botox will not change the shape of any part of your nose. Fillers can be used for minor changes, but a rhinoplasty is your most definitive choice.

Botox for nose
Botox is neurotoxin that relaxes the muscles. Botox can not be used to reshape the nose. It can be injected on the lateral side walls at the base to improve bunny lines, typically 5 units are required. It can also be injected to raise the tip of the nose as well. Dr. Behnam.

Botox is not indicated for the nasl shaping
Please send pictures for better evaluation. In general the shape of the nose more dictated by the cartilage,bone and skin. If you can move your nose and your nose moves up , down or sideways, then botox may help.

Botox can change your nose.
This site is interesting. Varied opinions, and that's a good thing. I have adjusted noses with injection therapy, Botox included, for patients who don't want to "go under". Ever wiggle or wrinkle your nose? This motion is testimony to the fact that the nose has musculature. Muscles can be treated and altered with Botox. Nasal tips can be elevated and the "bunny line" area is often treated. Have a consultation.

Botox cannot change the shape of the nose
Botox interrupts the signal a nerve sends a muscle to contract. Botox can be used to lift the nose tip when it descends with aging, but it cannot change the shape of the nose.
Injectable fillers can be used to correct some nose shape problems, like bumps or indentations along the back of the nose, but that has to be done cautiously by someone with training and experience in injecting fillers in the nose. Fillers can potentially compress small blood vessels in the nose causing...

Botox Will Not Shrink Your Nose
Botox relaxes muscles and decreases lines on the face. It will not change the shape of the nose. Some fillers (i.e., Radiesse) have been used for so-called "Liquid Nose Jobs". I have tried this to camoflage a dorsal nasal hump, but the effect is fairly short term. Rhinoplasty is the only reliable way to change the appearance of the nose.

Botox Will Not Change the Appearance of a Nose
Botox works by acting on hyper-dynamic muscle activity. The area above both nostrils is shaped by skin and cartilage. The only reliable way to address these concerns is via a surgical procedure known as Rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty is a procedure that requires finesse, technical expertise, and experience so it is best to see a well seasoned Rhinoplasty Surgeon about your concerns.

Botox is not for nose reshaping.
Botox is not for nose reshaping. Only a rhinoplasty will give you what you are looking for. Botox is for line removal.

Botox for nose reshaping?
Botox is a neurotoxin. It works to reduce lines caused by muscle movement. Nasal shape is usually related to cartilage, not muscle. It is highly unlikely that Botox would have any effect on your nasal tip shape.
