My main issue with my nose is how it looks when I'm smiling--the downward curve of the bridge gets way more pronounced, the tip droops, and my nostrils move way up, creating a hook nose. Will a rhinoplasty be able to minimize this effect? Would it be possible through a closed rhinoplasty, or would my nostrils need reshaping too?
Answer: Rhinoplasty for dynamic droopiness Hi there,The droopness during smiling is caused by hyperactive muscles and ligaments. This results the bridge to be more apparent. Since the ligaments and muscles are preserved with closed rhinoplasties it is more likely not get fixed this phenomenon with closed rhinoplasty. Open rhinoplasty will work best for this.Bye.

Answer: Can rhinoplasty fix a drooping tip Can rhinoplasty fix a drooping tip ?One of the main functions of rhinoplasty is to elevate a drooping tip. In most people when smiling the tip droops because of muscular connections between the tip and other structures around the lip. Interestingly your nose tip does not really droop.. you have a rather high angle between the tip of the nose and the lip. What makes it look like it’s drooping when you smile is the prominence of the area above the tip called the Supra tip. Trimming that area will eliminate the appearance of a droop. You can test this yourself by taking photos of your profile, then printing them then erasing the area or blacking out the area above the tip that bulges outward suddenly your tip will look like it points up

Answer: Rhinoplasty for tip droop... Rhinoplasty can create a tip structure that is stronger so it won't droop as much. The bump can be taken down to create a nice side profile. We usually do the procedure open, but the nostrils wouldn't have to be changed. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty specialist for consultation.

Answer: Rhinoplasty You are a good candidate for a rhinoplasty. Your bridge needs to be lowered and your tip raised. Raising the tip is simple but works better if the bridge is lowered.
