Can botox lift a droopy nasal tip? (Photo)

Surgical rhinoplasty is your best choice. However, botox would possibly reduce your nose drooping when you smile - but only maybe. Fillers as a nonsurgical rhino could soften the bump and make your nose look more rotated.

Hi @Maddieh842. Botox can temporarily raise the nasal tip slightly by relaxing the muscle that pulls the nasal tip downward. A more permanent option would be a rhinoplasty.

Best of luck,

Hello, thank you for your question. Non-surgical options uses a filler to add volume or botox to relax a muscle function. I would recommend a rhinoplasty for you so you don't have to keep getting maintenance to keep the effect. I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Dear Maddieh842,
Botox can help elevate the nasal tip in most cases somewhat, however it might not be sufficient for you depending on what your wishes are for elevation. It does not hurt to try it and see if you are happy with the amount of elevation you will receive, and if you feel you would like more elevation you can always have a consultation with an experienced Facial Plastic or Plastic Surgeon to discuss the various Rhinoplasty options thereafter.
Best Wishes in your quest,

Dear Maddieh842,

Thanks for sharing your photo. There are minimally invasive and surgical options to raise the nasal tip.
As you mentioned, there is a tiny muscle along the columella of the nose (outside post between the nostrils) pulling the tip down.
• This can be injected with botox as a trial or even ablated for longer term relaxation.
• You may also use Radiesse or HA (hyaluronic acid gel) filler to reshape the back and tip of the nose.
• Do not expect a surgical result as this will depend on refining the cartilage and septum of the tip of the nose.

Please consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Nasal Surgeon who is a talented expert in the shapes and function of the nose to offer you your alternatives.

All the best.

Yes, Botox can conservatively raise the nasal tip by relaxing the muscle that pulls the tip downward. Depending on your goals, this may or may not be enough. Rhinoplasty can also be considered to permanently improve the look of the nasal tip.

Hello and thank you for your question. Botox will help to some extent but I think its worth a try. You might find you’re satisfied with the results and if not I would consider rhinoplasty. Find a very experienced injector to ensure great results. Best wishes.

The answer is yes. Botulinum can help raise the tip of the nose. But, in most cases not enough. To get a beautiful result you need fillers. For others the best result is a rhinoplasty. A good thorough consultation will give you answers that are specific to you. Best from Boston, Dr. Onir

Yes. This can be done with fillers and botox. The botulinum toxin will relax the muscle underneath and will elevate the tip of the nose. The fillers will constitute a support and will elevate the tip too.

Botox can definitely be used to some degree in elevation of the nasal tip. you may definitely try doing this procedure as it is quick and inexpensive but I believe that in your case a rhinoplasty may be the only choice. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City plastic surgery
