🌸 Quick answer
What does nasal tip Botox do? Nasal tip Botox softens the depressor septi nasi, a small muscle at the base of the nose that tugs the tip downward when you smile or speak. A tiny dose relaxes this pull, so the tip sits slightly higher and droops less during expression. Early lift appears in 3–5 days and the full result in 1–2 weeks. Because the muscle is small, effects usually last about 2–3 months.
What is nasal tip Botox?
Nasal tip Botox is a single micro-injection at the base of the nose, between the nostrils. It targets the depressor septi nasi muscle, which can make the nose tip dip and the upper lip shorten when you smile. Relaxing it gives a gentle lift that keeps the rest of the face unchanged.
It refines movement rather than shape, so it suits people who want a small change. For reshaping the bridge or tip at rest, nose fillers or a nose thread lift are more suitable.

Nasal Tip Botox FAQ
How long does nasal tip Botox last?
Results usually last about 2–3 months. The depressor septi nasi is a small muscle, so the effect fades sooner than Botox in larger areas such as the forehead or jaw.
Does nasal tip Botox hurt?
It is a single quick injection at the base of the nose. Most people feel a brief sting, and numbing can be provided if you are sensitive.
Is nasal tip Botox the same as a nose job?
No. It only reduces the downward pull of a small muscle, giving a gentle lift during expression. It does not change bone or cartilage, so the overall nose shape stays the same.
Can it be combined with nose filler?
Yes. Some people combine it with nose filler for bridge or tip shape. Your doctor will plan the order and check that the combination suits your anatomy.
Can I do nasal tip Botox on a short trip to Seoul?
Yes. It takes about 5 minutes with no downtime. The lift develops over 1–2 weeks, so many visitors see the final result after they fly home.
