Quick answer

What is nose tip Botox?

Nose tip Botox places a small dose of botulinum toxin into the depressor septi nasi, a small muscle under the nose that pulls the tip downward when you smile or talk. Relaxing it can stop that drooping and give the tip a subtle lift.

The change is modest and works best in people whose tip visibly dips with expression. For shape or bridge height, nose filler or a thread nose lift are more suitable.

Your visit

How Nose Tip Botox works at Umi

Every visit is doctor-led and explained in English, from the first skin check to aftercare.

  1. Smile check

    The doctor watches how much your nose tip moves down as you smile.

  2. Point selection

    A single point at the base of the columella, where the nose meets the lip.

  3. Injection

    A small dose with a very fine needle; it takes seconds.

  4. Aftercare

    Avoid pressing the nose or wearing heavy glasses on the area for a few hours.

Before & after

How Botox lifts the nose tip

With the downward-pulling muscle relaxed, the nose tip stays higher when you smile, giving a neater profile.

FAQ

Nose Tip Botox questions

How big is the change?

It is subtle — usually a few millimetres of tip movement when smiling. It refines rather than reshapes the nose.

Can it affect my smile?

A small dose rarely affects the smile, but the upper lip can feel slightly different for a short time.

Can I combine it with nose filler?

Yes. Filler improves shape and height, while Botox reduces tip drop with expression.

Is it painful?

The area is sensitive, so ice is offered, but the injection lasts only seconds.

Do foreigners pay more?

No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
