I started to notice that my nose tip has started to droop slightly. Is that possible and what are the treatments for this? I've lost some volume from my face as well, don't know if that matters.
Answer: A drooping tip As we age the tip of the nose naturally droops. However there is also a muscle that can cause the tip to droop when you smile. My suggestion is to seek out a board-certified plastic surgeon who can accurately examine your nose, create a simulation based off of what your nose could look like after surgery, and formulate a plan tailored to your needs. Good luck!

Answer: Can the nose tip become droopy? The tip can droop as a person ages. If your nasal features concern you enough to do something about improving the cosmetic appearance of your nose it can be refined with an artistically performed natural appearing rhinoplasty.I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon with extensive nasal surgery experience who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or a facial plastic surgeon (ENT) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Additional information about the procedure will help you decide if it is a procedure that you want to pursue.

Answer: Rhinoplasty for the droopy tip etc. There are several techniques I have used over the past 35 years to elevate the droopy nasal tip. The excess tip cartilage can be removed and a portion of the septum can be removed, etc. an experienced surgeon will know which technique will give you what you want without creating unwanted problemat at the same time. See an experienced surgeon who does natural looking noses like yours without the overdone look.

Answer: Can the nose tip become droopy? As we age the ligament support of the lower lateral cartilages weakens. Subsequently the tip tends to droop with aging. I use various suture techniques to stabilize the tip during rhinoplasty.

Answer: Aging Nose As we age, our skin unfortunately loses elasticity which causes sagging and drooping in our face. In conjunction with volume loss, this leads to an aging appearance. This is likely contributing to the drooping you have noticed in your nasal tip which can give an elongated appearance that wasn't present before. There are several options to help rejuvenate the facial and nasal appearance, both surgical and non-surgically. Please consult with a board certified specialist who can assist you with achieving the results you seek. 3-dimensional computer imaging can help you visualize what you may look like afterwards.
