Could PDO threads lift nose tip or shorten tissue that shows when I smile? (Photo)

Asked By:suttonmurray in Raleigh-Durham, NC

I have a slightly crooked/under rotated nose. I met with a few plastic surgeons & all said I have pronounced soft triangles, but the chance of success in rhinoplasty are low given how mild my deviation is & that it could cause neg results. I'm curious if there are any non surgical options like PDO threads, to lift my tip, lift the soft tissue that shows under nose when I smile, or straighten the nose. I'm still getting a septoplasty for breathing issues but don't want rhinoplasty now.
