My nose tip is bulbous and downturned, like there's too much skin. Options to tighten skin? (photo)

Question

My nose tip is bulbous and downturned, and it seems like theres just too much skin. Only a little upwards tug on my nose bridge gives me a very noticable lift. How can i fix this? I dont want a rhinoplasty because my skin leaves alot of pigmentation even after the smallest inflamation. Something like filler also isnt desired personally. Maybe something to tighten the skin?

If you’re looking to refine the shape of your nose tip without surgery or fillers, there are a few options to consider:

Radiofrequency (RF) Skin Tightening: Treatments like Morpheus8 or Thermage can help tighten the skin and improve mild sagging over time by stimulating collagen production.
Ultrasound Skin Tightening: Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy to lift and tighten skin, though results may be subtle in the nose area.
Botox for Tip Lift: A small amount of Botox injected into the depressor septi nasi muscle can subtly lift a downturned nose tip.
Thread Lifts: PDO threads can provide a temporary lift to the nose tip without surgery, though results vary.
Skincare & Resurfacing Treatments: Retinoids, chemical peels, or laser resurfacing may help improve skin texture and firmness, though they won’t drastically change the shape.
Since you’re concerned about pigmentation, it’s best to consult with a dermatologist or aesthetic specialist to find the safest option for your skin type.

If you feel your nose is too wide, a non- surgical rhinoplasty (NSR) in combination with Morpheus may be just the right solution for you. Adding filler to the top dorsum part of the nose gives it more definition. Combine that with Morpheus to the alar nostrils of the nose can create the perfect results towards a narrower more defined nose.
