A doctor-performed treatment aimed at improving the position of a drooping or downturned nasal tip. In some individuals, the nasal tip may appear to move downward with facial movement or rest in a lower position. A small, precisely placed treatment may be used to target muscle activity that contributes to downward pull in this area, which can influence the appearance of the nasal tip.

The position of the nose tip is controlled by several muscles. One of them, the depressor septi nasi, runs from the upper lip to the base of the nose and pulls the tip downward when the face is in expression. In some people this muscle is more active than usual, causing the tip to drop visibly during expression. In others the tip simply rests in a naturally downward position regardless of expression, affecting the overall appearance of the nose and the nasolabial angle.
The nose tip lift is a doctor-performed treatment placed in a very small and precise amount into the muscle at the base of the nose that pulls the tip downward. With this muscle’s activity reduced, the tip can rest and move in a slightly elevated position, improving the nasolabial angle and giving the nose a less downturned appearance.
The change is subtle by design. The goal is not to dramatically alter the nose but to provide a gentle lift that improves how the tip sits both at rest and during expression.
The nose tip lift uses a muscle-relaxing approach to address a drooping tip specifically. The non-surgical rhinoplasty uses a volumising approach to reshape the nose bridge, correct bumps or improve overall nose balance. The two address different concerns and use different treatments. Your doctor can assess at consultation whether one or both would be beneficial for your nose.
Results are temporary and vary between individuals. Your doctor will discuss expected longevity at your consultation.
Most patients return to normal activities the same day. Some mild redness or tenderness at the treatment point is possible briefly. Your doctor will provide specific aftercare instructions before you leave.

When you smile, the muscles of the upper lip and cheek activate and pull upward. One of these muscles, the depressor septi nasi, simultaneously pulls the nose tip downward. In most people this movement is subtle. In some people the muscle is more active, causing the tip to drop visibly during smiling or speaking. This can make the nose appear longer and affect the balance between the nose and the upper lip. A small doctor-performed treatment in this muscle can reduce its pulling force and allow the tip to remain higher during expression.
The nose tip lift uses a muscle-relaxing approach specifically to address a drooping or downturned tip caused by an overactive muscle at the nose base. Non-surgical rhinoplasty uses a volumising approach to reshape the nose bridge, reduce the appearance of a dorsal bump or improve the overall nose profile. They are different treatments for different concerns. Some patients benefit from both, and your doctor can advise at consultation.
The change is intentionally subtle. The treatment relaxes the muscle that pulls the tip down, allowing the tip to sit slightly higher and reducing the degree of tip drop during expression. It is not designed to dramatically transform the nose, and the result should look natural. The amount of visible improvement depends on how much of the drooping is caused by the muscle being treated versus other structural factors. Your doctor will be realistic about what the treatment can achieve for your specific nose at consultation.
For patients who want to address both the shape of the nose bridge and the position of the tip, both treatments can be discussed at the same consultation and performed at the same appointment if appropriate. The muscle-relaxing approach lifts the tip while the volumising approach reshapes the bridge. Your doctor will assess whether a combined approach makes sense for your nose.
