Can the depressor septi muscle be cut without having a full rhinoplasty? Concerned about droopy tip.

Asked By:addib in Grand Junction, CO

I don't mind my profile so much when I'm not smiling, but when I do smile, my droopy tip becomes much more pronounced. I look like a different person. Could snipping this muscle be an option and could this be done under local anesthesia? Thanks!
