can I benefit from cutting only the depressor septi nasi muscle since I dont want to go for a full rhinoplasty? my nose drops so much and points down and my upper lip feels so tight while i smile. I also developed over the years a line above my lips, and developed a gummy smile as well which i did not have as a kid. last time I asked I actually didnt provide good pictures so I give one more shoot, hope for answers :)
