Three problems that can be improved by Botox injections in the nose

Here are three problems that can be improved with Botox injections in the nose.
■Dumpling nose is noticeable.
Dumpling nose is one of the most common problems related to the shape of the nose. Danko-nana is a condition in which the tip of the nose is rounded and the nasal wings, which protrude from the sides of the nose, are large and thick. Because of the volume at the tip of the nose, a dumpling nose has an overall heavy appearance and may give the impression of a "low nose" or "no nasal bridge".
If you have these problems, Botox injections into the nasolabial folds (nasolabial folds), the muscles that widen and close the nostrils, are recommended. It reduces the nasal wings and makes the nostrils less bulky and cupped.Can be expected to give the appearance of a smaller nose.I am sure you will.
■When I smile, my nose widens.
Many people have a complex about the widening of their nose (nasal wings) when they smile, thereby making their nostrils appear larger. For such people, Botox injections into the nostril openings are recommended. In many cases, the procedure aimed at this effect is called "Botox for the nose".
■Nasal apex pointing downward
The nasal apex is the head of the nose. A nose with a downward-turned nasal apex is called a "witch nose," and many people have a bad impression of its appearance and feel inferior. One of the reasons why the nasal apex is turned downward is due to the muscles under the nose called the inferior nasal septum muscles. If it is too strong, the nasal tip is pulled downward. Injecting a Botox preparation into the inferior nasal septum muscle reduces the strength of the muscle,Improve downward pointing nasal apex, make the tip of the nose look taller, etc.I am sure you will.
