Botox in columella to lift nose tip?

Question

I had 2 rhinoplasty and still unhappy with result. I feel like my nose dips down and is pointy bc the cartilage in the tip shows through my skin. a nurse who owns a medispa inject Botox in my nose. She always does it for me.this time I don't think she injected in the right spot. She kind of went off center and didn't go in the middle of the columella it feels like she injected into the cartilage of my nose Could she have messed up what the surgeons have put inside my nasal tip ?Or will it be ok

I don't think Botox is going to alter your surgical results. However, you should follow up with your injector to see how your Botox will turn out at 2 weeks.Best of luck, Dr. ALDO

No, this won't negatively impact your rhinoplasty results. I often use fillers (voluma, restylane, juvederm) along with botox to improve the symmetry of the nose and subtly lift the tip. If you're unhappy with your results, the Botox will resolve in 3-4 months. Venus legacy and/or thermage treatments may help soften results. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thanks for your question – a photo or two would be helpful here.  The Botox injected should have no impact on your surgery but will last 3-4 months so you may need to wait to have something else done.  Many of us use fillers when needed here – again, find the proper injector and make sure that this is something that they do, they understand, and have experience in doing.  Good luck

Steven F. Weiner, MD · Answer

There is no way that this Botox will affect the surgeries. I find that this injection is theoretically sound but in reality gives minimal lift. Filler placed in the base of the septum and in the tip of the nose can lift it. However, in your case with 2 prior surgeries, this is risky because of compromised blood supply and I wouldn't do it personally.

Botox can elevate the tip of the nose if placed properly. No damage has been permanently done as Botox wears off but you should consult a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon rather than going to a medispa
