So I have this nose droop that I'm fine with, except for when I smile. I feel like it compensates my smile, making it look insincere. I would like to get this fixed NON surgically to hopefully better compensate my smile, and to have it not make it look as big when I do smile. One problem is I have to gather the money to pay for it myself and I'm still in high school. I deeply want to fix my nose tip, so it would be nice to know how much a rhinoplasty procedure would cost. Thank you so much!

Answer: Rhinoplasty for drooping nasal tip A rhinoplasty procedure can accomplish lifting a droopy tip by surgical manipulation of the nasal tip cartilages. In addition, a hanging columella can also be reduced which gives the illusion of the nose being bottom heavy. To reduce the tip of the nose from drooping when smiling, it's important to release the depressor septi ligament.

Answer: Rhinoplasty to Fix Drooping Tip Dear icelizard, Unfortunately there is not a non-surgical procedure to address your drooping tip. This would be addressed with rhinoplasty surgery. I would suggest while you are contemplating surgery to see some experts in the filed of rhinoplasty. Most surgeons like myself offer complimentary consultations so this would not require any out of pocket expenses and will fully inform you regarding rhinoplasty surgery. If you are still under the age of eighteen then you will be required to have a parent or guardian present for consultation. During consultation you can have digital imaging performed which will show you the proposed results and review the surgeons before and after photographs of similar noses to ensure the surgeon provides natural looking rhinoplasty results. Most patients who are still in high school elect to have surgery right after graduation before they start the new chapters of their life in either continuing education or the work place. If you choose to travel for the procedure then other consulting options are always available. I have included a link below so you can see how rewarding this procedure can be for young ladies like yourself and a video above of a patient with a similar nasal aesthetic. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
