I have a bulbous nasal tip that broadens when I smile. Is Botox a good solution for treating a bulbous nose? What are some other nonsurgical options I can consider?

Answer: Not typically The bulbous nasal tip is caused by large cartilages that create the anatomic deformity that you see. Neurotoxins are utilized to weaken muscles in the face. Therefore, the toxin will have no effect on the cartilage and is typically not useful in treating a bulbous nasal tip. This deformity is typically treated only by rhinoplasty.

Answer: Nasal tip slimming Thank you for your question. Unfortunately botox would not be helpful, as most of the tip consists of cartilage and soft tissue. Non invasive options could include a retinoic acid derivative or isotretinoin. Depending on anatomy however, surgery may be the best option. I hope this is helpful, and all the best to you. -Dr. P
