Nose Slimming Botox: Safe or Risky Alternative to Rhinoplasty?
Botox for some people means only one thing, a wrinkle reduction procedure, but its effectiveness for slimming the nose is what most people don’t know. It’s called nose slimming botox, which is a 15-minute-long procedure that slims your nose by targeting the muscles that affect the nasal shape, giving you a slimmer nose.
It refines your nose by reducing the nostril flaring, smoothing out the bump on the bridge, and lifting the nasal tip. Let’s learn more about the nose slimming Botox, its cost, duration, benefits, and also the potential side effects.
What’s Nose Slimming Botox?

Unlike rhinoplasty, which involves surgical incisions, cartilage, and bone changes, it doesn’t involve any of these. It’s completely non-invasive and targets only some muscles of your nose, such as the septi nasi that pulls down the tip and nasalis, which is also known as the flare nostrils.
Instead of making any changes to the muscles, it relaxes them, creating a refined and slimmer appearance of your nose.
