Could botox fix my nose?

[moondraine]

When I'm not smiling, my nose looks okay.
But when I smile the tip curves downward, and it also becomes noticeably wider.
Could Botox temporarily fix this, or would I actually need a rhinoplasty?

no

You are aware that Botox... paralyzes your muscles, right? Therefore putting Botox on your nose would only make it droopier. You do know that, right?

I thought there's a certain muscle that contracts your nose when you smile that they paralyze

That's the depressor septi nasi muscle you're talking about, only problem is that Botox is ass when trying to solve this problem because it's not really strong enough and wouldn't make a difference like a rhino would, it can also worsen the tip and has for many many people who get it done

No. Unless youre botoxing your nasolabial folds or every muscle that makes you smile it isnt going to help. You have to think when those muscle pull theyre also attached to tissue under the skin thats attached to the skin, so now the skin is being pulled causing the nose to get curved

Is there any non-surgical method that would help?
