Can Botox lift my nose tip? My tip drops even when I am not smiling.

Question

I got injected with botox to lift my nose tip and it has been 4 days already and I see no change at all. Will Botox lift my nose? and if so how long will it take for me to see a change?

Paul Vitenas, Jr., MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. At only
one week since your Botox injections, it is too early to assess the results of
treatment. Botox will take from one to two weeks to relax the targeted muscles
and produce the desired results. However, depending on your individual
situation, Botox may not be enough to lift the tip of your nose. If, after
several weeks, you do not see your desired changes and the tip of your nose is
not as lifted as you hoped, I suggest contacting your Botox provider for their
advice.

Yes! By paralyzing a muscle called the depressor septi nasi (a muscle that pulls the nasal tip down) you may get a slight lift in the tip.

Hello,It takes approximately 1 week for the Botox to start working.  With that said, it may help lift the nasal tip, however, it can also cause a flaccid upper lip.  If there are still no changes at 2-3 weeks, it's worthwhile to consult with your physician.Chase Lay, MD

Botox can lift the tip of the nose but 4 days is not long enough to determine the effectiveness of the injection. It takes 10-14 days to get the full effect so give it some time

Nothing ever replaces a surgical nasal lift! I sometimes use small amounts of Botox (5 units) with HA fillers to try to effect a very slight lift to the nasal tip. Understand results may only last 6 months...
