Refine & Elevate: Non-Surgical Solutions for a Droopy Nose Tip

A droopy nose tip, also known as nasal tip ptosis, occurs when the nasal tip tilts downward, particularly when smiling or at rest. This can be a result of genetics, ageing, or muscle activity affecting the structure of the nose. While a drooping nasal tip does not impact breathing, some individuals seek treatment to create a more refined, balanced nasal profile.

At Karratha Medical Centre, Dr Amir Waly provides non-surgical treatments to lift and enhance the nasal tip without the need for invasive surgery. Using advanced, minimally invasive techniques, these treatments improve the appearance of the nose while maintaining natural facial harmony.

How Droopy Nose Tip Treatments Work

A droopy nose tip can result from a combination of factors, including weakened nasal cartilage, loss of structural support due to ageing, or the influence of the depressor septi nasi muscle, which pulls the tip downward when smiling or talking.

Muscle relaxant injections can be used to reduce the downward pull on the nasal tip by targeting the depressor septi nasi muscle. By carefully administering this treatment, the nose tip appears more elevated, leading to a subtle yet effective improvement in nasal appearance. Results typically develop within a few days and last for several months, with regular treatments helping to maintain a refined nasal profile.

Dermal fillers containing hyaluronic acid may be used in non-surgical rhinoplasty to improve nasal tip support. These fillers can enhance nasal projection and subtly lift the tip, providing a more structured and defined nasal contour. This treatment is particularly beneficial for individuals who want to improve their nasal profile without undergoing surgery.

For some individuals, a combination of treatments may provide optimal results. A personalised consultation ensures that the most suitable approach is selected based on facial structure and treatment goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do droopy nose tip treatments last?

Muscle relaxant injections typically last between three to six months, while dermal filler results can last six to twelve months. Maintenance treatments can help prolong results over time.

Is the procedure painful?

Most individuals experience minimal discomfort. A numbing agent may be applied before injections to enhance comfort, and the procedure itself is quick and well tolerated.

Are there any side effects?

Mild redness, swelling, or slight bruising may occur at the injection site but usually resolves within a few days. Proper aftercare helps minimise these effects.

When will I see results?

Muscle relaxant injections provide gradual improvements within a few days, with full effects developing over two weeks. Dermal fillers offer immediate results, with optimal shaping seen after mild swelling subsides.

Can a non-surgical nose tip lift replace rhinoplasty?

Non-surgical treatments provide subtle refinements and enhancements without the need for surgery. However, for significant structural changes, a surgical rhinoplasty may be required. A consultation helps determine the most suitable treatment approach.
