Botox for Deep Line on Nose Tip?

Question

Can I get Botox injected to the tip of my nose to get rid of a deep line? My nose that looks like a butt or do I have to get surgery?

Dear Shelly,
Remarkable work can be done using Restylane and Perlane to correct the shape of the nose. These non-surgical treatments will address your concerns without the need for surgery. Generally, you will need to find a cosmetic dermatologist to do this.  Often general plastic surgeons and facial plastic surgeons are more oriented toward the long term results of surgery. However, the longevity of these fillers is such that it is now very reasonable to consider filler as an alternative to surgery. BOTOX is not the right product for this job.

Botox won't do anything for the deep nose crease, but Juvederm or Restylane should work great if done in 2 sessions, at a cost of $550 per syringe. Good Luck!

The line in the middle of the nose tip can be filled in with a filler to hide it but botox will not work. 
If you are concerned about the bulbosity of the tip then rhinoplasty is the answer.

BOTOX would not be helpful for the deep line on your nose. You may gain significant improvement by having an Injectable Filler treatment performed. This is with topical anesthetic, and there would be no downtime. Feel free to post / email your photo, and I'll be happy to share my thoughts.
I hope this helps, and best regards.

Botox treats dynamic lines; lines formed from contraction of muscles under the skin. A line in the tip of the nose is very unlikely to be from a muscle. More commonly, what you describe comes from strong cartilages under the skin. Fillers have been used as my colleague above suggests, however they are rarely used in the tip of the nose. I suggest you seek out a specialist in noses and rhinoplasty to discuss your options. I think that in most cases the best way to treat what you describe is through tip rhinoplasty.
