Can You Raise the Tip of the Nose by Tying It Internally? (photo)

Chripsy
Hi. I heard of a proceedure where the surgeon hooks the muscles in the face and pulls them back and ties them. I was wondering it the same could be done to raise the tip of my nose by a minimum of 0.5cm. Please take a look at the picture for illustrative purposes. I don't know what could be used, some kind of surgical thread? There would be no cutting and it would all be internal, only threading it through the tip of the nose and the cartilage in the middle of the nose.
