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: 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
