How many units of Botox for a slight tip of nose lift? (Photos)

To rotate your nose upward would take about 4 Units of Botox. The effect would only last about 3 to 4 months. You might want to consider rhinoplasty as an alternative. Because it is a surgical procedure, the changes are permanent. If you add up the cost of lifetime Botox, surgery is less expensive and requires less maintenance, too. I hope this helps.

You would only need a small amount of Botox to accomplish a slight nose lift. The actual amount would be determined by your dermatologist, but it would probably be between 2 and 4 Units. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist who has expertise in creating nose lifts with Botox.

Before deciding on the amount of units needed, the most important thing to answer is whether or not using Botox or Dysport to try to provide some lift to the tip is even the right idea to consider in the first place.The primary target area is a paired set of muscles called the depressor septi nasi.  An experienced rhinoplasty surgeon should be able to properly evaluate this area very easily.If treating these muscle fibers is indicated then only a small amount is needed.  I prefer an injection on each side as opposed to a single injection point directly in the center under the end of the septum.  On each side most patient need 2 units of Botox or 6 units of Dysport.Using some filler to give the illusion of tip lift or changes in projection is commonly performed at the same time and has a much greater impact on the appearance of tip elevation that Botox or Dysport can have by themselves.
