Bump on tip of nose after dorsal hump removal. Is it a possible depressor septi issue? What'll help resolve this issue? (photo)

Asked By:francbanc in Detroit, MI

I had rhinoplasty to remove dorsal hump 3 years ago. I am mostly happy with the results, but whenever I move my upper lip down or smile, it pulls down the tip of my nose and shows a bump (I'm assuming cartilage). Would cutting the depressor septi muscle, or even using botox on it, help to resolve this issue?

Steven M. Denenberg, MD says:

Of course, you didn't post a full set of angles, and full-face images are needed for a true evaluation, but from the frontal view, it seems your nose might be long, with the tip pointing down. And from the base view, it seems your nose might be strong in its forward projection away from your...

Richard Mark Winters, MD says:
