Can a rhinoplasty effectively fix my droopy tip like this when I smile and make it more upturned? (Photo)

Thank you for your question and for sharing your photograph. Among the changes that rhinoplasty can achieve, adjusting the position of the nasal tip and improving its stability when smiling are relatively common concerns and indications for the procedure.

These adjustments are typically achieved through a combination of techniques. Reshaping the nasal tip cartilages plays a crucial role in defining the position and angle of the tip. Additionally, the use of grafts is often necessary to reinforce support structures and provide greater stability, ensuring the desired position is maintained during facial movements such as smiling.

If you would like to discuss your specific goals or have further questions, a consultation would help to explore the options and tailor an approach suited to your needs.

Yes, a rhinoplasty can help change the lip columella angle and eliminate the drooping tip when you smile.
