I've heard that Botox can be used to elevate the nose tip. Is this true? If so, how effective is it?
Answer: Botox to lift the nose When people smile a muscle in the upper lip, called the depressor nasii septi, to pull down the the tip of the nose. In some individuals this can be quite pronounced. By injecting botulinum toxin into this muscle, the muscle is weakened causing the nose to remain up when smiling.

Answer: Non-Surgical Nose Job Candidate -- Fillers (Voluma, Restylane, Juvederm), Botox/Xeomin/Dysport/Jeuveau, Rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to go over your desired results. Facial fillers like Voluma, Restylane, and Juvederm along with Botox can be used to improve the symmetry of the nose and lift the tip; however, it won't make the nose appear smaller. Surgery would be needed to improve the nostrils or overall shape. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Rhinoplasty surgery may be necessary to raise your nasal tip. I am not aware of any nonsurgical methods to reliably raise or rotate the position of the nasal tip. Botox to the depressor septi muscles may not lead to a desirable result. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph

Answer: Botox to raise the tip of the nose In select patients, Botox can be used to raise the tip of the nose slightly. This is most effective for dynamic muscle action that occurs with smiling and causes the tip to come down further. Filler injections can be used to shape the tip of the nose so that it appears to elevate. These changes with injectable treatments are temporary. Permanent nasal changes require surgery.

Answer: Nasal tip elevation Hi there many thanks for your question! Personally I use a small injection of hyaluronic acid based dermal filler to elevate the tip of the nose to around 130 degrees (the perfect angle aesthetically) with great result. Botox is used to relax muscles so really does not have a place here in helping elevate the tip. Hope this helps and good luck! Best wishes, Dr Rupert
