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 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
