Is it Possible to Lower Nose Tip?

There is a very small muscle at the tip of your nose connected to the bone beneath the upper lip called the maxillary crest, which produces this movement of your nose. This hypermobility of the nasal tip can be very easily corrected by de-functioning this nasalis muscle through a very small incision inside the nose. This can be performed as part of a more extensive nasal surgery or maybe done alone to stop the movement of your nasal tip.

 

It is possible to lower the nasal tip upon animation by dividing the depressor septi ligament.  There are a couple other maneuvers that can be performed to give another 2-3 mm of depression to the lower nasal tip, which may help as well.  The healing process should make the tip stay in that permanent lower position.

The nose can lengthened causing the tip to angled down slightly by using cartilage grafts harvested from the septum.   See an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon to analyze your nose and address any concerns you have about its appearance.
