How to Improve Nose Shape Without Surgery
Concerns about nose shape are common, whether it's a downturned tip, slight asymmetry, or fine lines around the nose. While surgical rhinoplasty remains the most effective for structural changes, non-surgical solutions are becoming increasingly popular for subtle refinement.
At The Institute of Dermatologists, we offer Botox treatment designed to enhance nasal appearance, creating better facial harmony without the need for downtime or surgery.
What is the Best Treatment for Nose Shape Concerns?
Our go-to option is Botox for nose tip lift and bunny lines treatment. Small, expertly placed injections can relax specific muscles around the nose to gently lift a drooping nasal tip or smooth dynamic lines that appear with facial movement. All Botox injections are only administered by our Consultant Dermatologists.
Please contact your preferred Consultant for an appointment.
How it Works:
- Botox is injected into the depressor septi nasi, a small muscle that pulls the nose downward when you smile or speak.
- By relaxing this muscle, the nasal tip subtly lifts, improving the overall appearance of the nose and facial profile.
Botox can also soften "bunny lines", those fine lines that appear on the sides of the nose when scrunching the face or smiling.
Key Benefits:
- Subtle lift to a drooping nasal tip
- Smoother appearance of bunny lines
- Quick, non-surgical procedure
- No downtime – results in as little as 5–7 days
- Ideal for those seeking gentle enhancement or surgical alternatives
This treatment is particularly suitable for individuals looking for refinement without altering their natural features.
