Botox not a way to straighten nasal tip
Good Afternoon Rachel,
It not clear from the picture you attached what you are looking to correct in your nasal tip.

I would recommend you consult with a plastic surgeon who specializes in surgical corrections so you can discuss specifics and see what works best for you.
Good Luck.

Botox in place of Rhinoplasty
No, I would not recommend Botox for use to straighten nose. Botox should not be considered a substitute for what a typical rhinoplasty (nose job) would do.
I would recommend discussing this case with a board certified plastic surgeon, and I would not recommend Botox to straighten the nose.

Botox will not Straighten a Nose
Botox is a neurotoxin, preventing nerve and muscle fibers in a localized area from communicating. Since the positioning of the nose at rest is not related to muscle activity, Botox will not provide any benefit in straightening a curvature. However, as other posters have noted, the "snarling" position of the nasal tip while smiling can be improved by treating the depressor septi nasi muscles with a few units of Botox.
