Can a lack of cartilage in the nose tip causing drooping be fixed with fillers? (Photos)

November 27, 2017
Asked By:sandrahenriksen in New London, CT

I have a lack of cartilage/ weak cartilage in the tip of my nose and it causes my nose to droop (only) when I smile. My nostrils also flare and "rise" causing the drooping to be even more noticable. Can this be fixed with fillers? I find it hard to judge by watching before and after pictures of other people getting fillers because nobody is smiling in those pictures and my main issue is when I smile. I hope you can help me answer my questions.
