Nose tip lift botulinum toxin
Cosmo Clinic Team
Nose Tip Lift Botox is a non-surgical aesthetic treatment that subtly elevates the tip of the nose by relaxing the depressor septi nasi muscle. This muscle can pull the nasal tip downward when smiling or speaking. The result is a more lifted, balanced nasal profile – without surgery or downtime.
At Cosmo Clinic in Lisbon, nose tip lift with botulinum toxin is performed after a clinical assessment to confirm the muscle is contributing to the concern. Our doctors are clear about the limitations of this technique. Results typically last three to four months.

FAQ
How does Botox lift the tip of the nose?
It relaxes the muscle that pulls the nasal tip downward, allowing it to rest in a higher, more aesthetically pleasing position.
Who is a good candidate?
Anyone with a drooping nose tip, especially noticeable when smiling, who wants a non-invasive solution.
How long do the results last?
The effects typically last 3 to 4 months and can be maintained with regular sessions.
Can this replace nose surgery?
It’s ideal for mild to moderate correction. For structural changes, surgery may still be needed – but this is a great non-surgical alternative.
Is the treatment painful?
A very small volume of toxin is injected at a single point at the base of the nose. Most patients describe minimal discomfort — no anaesthetic is required.
Will the result be visible when I smile?
Yes. The visible effect is most apparent during smiling — when the muscle that normally pulls the tip downward is relaxed, the nose tip maintains a more elevated position throughout the movement. In repose the effect is subtler.
Is there any downtime?
Only minimal downtime is required. Mild redness at the injection site resolves within minutes to hours. Normal activities can be resumed immediately.
How much botox is needed for a nose tip lift?
The dose is small — typically 2–4 units at a single midline point. Precision in placement and dose is more important than volume in this area. Overdosing can affect lip movement or the upper lip's ability to elevate.
