Will depressor septi release alone correct my plunging tip when smiling? (Photos)

August 27, 2017
Asked By:Elekktra in Los Angeles, CA

I am satisfied with my nose except when I smile. My tip goes from a "neutral" ( not upturned but not droopy) to plunging into my smile-this causes me to not smile for photographs. Would releasing mg depressor septi as a stand alone cause an improvement? What would the cost be for this procedure? Would adding a premaxillary implant help this issue? I'd like to avoid a full rhinoplasty. Thank you!
