Hi. Can the tip of my nose be corrected with Botox? If not, do you think the risk of a having surgery is justified to straighten the tip of my nose? Please see attached picture.
Answer: Botox for the Nose
Botox is effect in two places on the nose. First, Botox can be used to reduce "bunny lines" along the dorsum when you scrunch your nose. Second, Botox can be used on the tip depressor muscles to help prevent lowering of the tip as you are asking. It is worth a try with Botox to see if you achieve your goals before undergoing a surgical procedure. Good luck.

Answer: Can Botox correct a droopy nose?
The answer is sometimes. If the nose dips with smiling, then yes it may. The best way to find out is to try it. If it doesn't work, nothing is lost. Then you know you will need surgery. By the way, Botox cant fix anything else, so if there are other changes you want, then you should have a rhinoplasty to fix all of it.

Answer: BOTOX is not usually given to change the appearance of your nose. Dear Rachel, I don't think BOTOX would correct the droopiness of your tip when you smile. Is that what you mean by "straighten the tip of my nose"? If you find the right surgeon, Rhinoplasty would likely be the best way to address the concerns you have about your nose. Best regards.

Answer: Botox for nasal tip. Your nasal tip appears to lack projection. Botox will not help with that problem. Surgery certainly can correct the problem, but only you can decide whether or not the risk and other considerations of proceeding with surgery are worth while. Those are items that should be discussed with you surgeon at the time of your consultation.

Answer: Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty-The Pro's/Con's From a Nose Specialist Deciding whether you are or are not a candidate for a non-surgical nose job really depends on your goals. The best candidates for a non-surgical nose job are typically the following types of patients: 1) Those who want the bridge of their nose raised or who want a hump hidden to achieve a more feminine profile 2) Patients with a nose that deviates to one side or the other. Filler can help make it look more straight 3) Patients with features in the tip that appear too harsh or pointy and need softening. Fillers can help create a much smoother and balanced appearance. What non-surgical nose jobs can't do are help patients narrow their nose, make it project (stick out) less, or help with breathing. For these issues a surgical rhinoplasty is required. It is very important to know that a non-surgical rhinoplasty is a VERY advanced and technically challenging procedure to do safely. Too much filler in any given area can cause issues with blood supply to the skin on the nose so it is essential that you have a physician who is comfortable in rhinoplasty perform the procedure. There must be an utmost respect for the anatomy and blood supply of the nose. In experienced hands it can be done safely and beautifully with results that enhance the appearance of the nose and really help patients feel more confident. Depending on the filler used, the results typically last between 1 and 2 years. The procedure is performed after topical numbing creme is applied and should be performed in a meticulous fashion. This means that the procedure typically takes about 45 minutes. I hope that helps! Jeffrey Watson, MDHarvard Trained/Board CertifiedRhinoplasty SpecialistFacial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon
