I have a sweaty nose , it's really embarrassing specially being a female. I heard Botox can minimize the pores and help with oil glands (stop sweat) Would my nose appear different the after getting Botox? My nose is already wide and I wouldn't like to get any wider. Is there a way we can use those same injections (Botox) to stop the sweat and shape my nose (thinner or prettier) ? Also is there a high chance to get acne on these areas ? Thank u for ur time :)

Answer: Botox on the nose Botox can help decrease sweat production by affecting the muscles surrounding the sweat glands which are activated to "pump" sweat out of the pore. It does not affect the structure of your nose which is composed of skin, cartilage, and bone. Your nose may appear slightly wider at the time of injection due to the Botox being injected and some temporary swelling, but it should resolve in within one or two days. Acne should not be an issue as long as the procedure is done in a sterile fashion. Hope this helps!Johnson C. Lee, MDPlastic Surgery

Answer: Botox in the nose I can't imaging why botox injected under the skin in your nose would change the appearance of the nose itself. It can improve texture of the skin, but shouldn't have any effect on the cartilage or bone. I have never heard of it being used for excessive sweating on the nose, but maybe some one else here will be able to share their experiences. Best of luck,
