Nose Tip Botox in Seoul: A Subtle Non‑Surgical Lift for a Drooping Nose Tip
A tiny dose of botulinum toxin relaxes the depressor septi nasi muscle that pulls the nose tip down when you smile, giving a gently lifted tip and a softer smile line.
What is nose tip Botox?
Nose tip Botox is a small injection of botulinum toxin into the depressor septi nasi muscle at the base of the nose, which reduces downward pull so the tip sits slightly higher, especially when smiling. It takes minutes, starts working in 3–5 days and lasts about 3–4 months.

How it works
How Botox lifts the nose tip
The depressor septi nasi runs from the upper lip to the base of the nose. Relaxing it with a small dose lets the tip rest and move at a slightly higher position.
- Day 3–5: less tip movement when smiling
- Week 2: full, subtle effect
- Month 3–4: effect gradually fades
- Often combined: with nose filler for overall shape
