Are There Exercises to Make the Tip of my Nose Go Up? (photo)

Question

I can't afford surgery but I still want to make the tip of my nose angle upwards more and also make my nostrils thinner. Whenever I push my nose up it looks so much better but as soon as I let go it goes back to being disgusting... When you look eye-level at my face, my nose looks like a downwards pointing arrow :( Also, the rest of my nose is rather large and my nostrils are huge! :( Or can I make my nose look better in any other ways? (I've attached photos of my nose from different angles)

Unfortunately, there’s no way to raise the nasal tip and increase nasal projection with exercise.  The muscles that are attached to the nose actually depress the nasal tip.  For this reason, correction of this type of nasal deformity requires rhinoplasty surgery.
  
            If you’re considering correction of this type of problem, it’s important to consult a board certified plastic surgeon.  This surgeon should be able to formulate a treatment plan that addresses your anatomic findings and achieves your aesthetic goals.

There are no exercises that can be done which will help improve the appearance of a drooping nasal tip. Surgery would be necessary to fix this issue. A rhinoplasty is the best way to improve the appearance of your nose, and the best result is obtained when the surgery is performed by a board certified rhinoplasty specialist with a great deal of experience. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

The best way to improve the appearance of a drooping tip is with rhinoplasty surgery. Grafts and specific suturing techniques can help lift a dropping tip. However, it is possible to mildly lift a drooping tip with filler. It will not make much of a difference, but you may see some improvement.  I would be cautious attempting to do this, as there are some risks from attempting to modify the appearance of the nose using filler, which is also known as a non-surgical rhinoplasty.  These risks include the following:

	1) Asymmetry
	2) Infection
	3) And the most serious side effect: necrosis, or death of the skin.

	Only a small amount of filler may be used and it must be injected slowly to limit the above risks.  I would see a surgeon that is comfortable with these injections. I hope this helps, and good luck!

My opinion, and it is an opinion only, is to wait until you can afford surgery, and find a good surgeon. A tip graft in the office, injectables, and local procedures may improve the situation, but each will cost, and none will solve your primary problems of the overprojecting nasal dorsum, the hanging columella, and the tip to dorsum relationship. It is impossible to offer truly reliable information without a good look at surrounding features such as the nasal radix and upper lip, but I understand you not showing them. You are the type of patient who, in the hands of a good surgeon, will have a transformative result.

George Bitar, MD · Answer

A non-surgical rhinoplasty with Radiesse would be a good option to improve tip projection and dorsal hump contouring. This is a very safe, efficient and effective way to improve the appearance of the nose without surgery. Seek consultation from a Plastic Surgeon experienced in this proceedure.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

There are no rhinoplasty exercises to raise your tip. A rhinoplasty procedure would involve trimming back the caudal septum increase the rotation, minor tip surgery, and releasing the depressor septa ligament to prevent the tip from drooping when you smile.

There are no exercises that I know of that wil improve the appearance of the nose. You will need surgery to improve the shape if you desire.
