Would cutting the septi depressor muscle result in a less droopy tip and a more attractive nose? (Photo)

h91mac
I like the overall look of the nose when my face is at rest and I even don't mind the profile look of my nose but when I smile, I feel like the tip droops down so much and looks quite different from when I don't smile. Ive been doing research for a while and I think maybe only having the depressor muscle cut would result in a less droopy tip while still retaining my natural nose shape. Am I correct in thinking this? Also how much would that cost? Thanks so much!
