Hello, this is Sio Clinic.

​

When consulting about concerns regarding nose shape in the clinic,

I often meet people who express disappointment, saying,

"I've tried arrowhead nose Botox,

but it had absolutely no effect for me."

​

In fact, even when looking at online reviews, evaluations of arrowhead nose Botox are sharply divided.

​

Why do some people see results while others say it doesn't work?

​

To give you the conclusion first,

it is because the procedure was performed without accurately distinguishing

between 'noses that can be corrected with Botox' and 'noses that cannot.'

​

Today, I will clearly explain the true principles of arrowhead nose Botox

and who it is effective for.

​

1. Botox is not a procedure that 'lifts the nose upward.'

​

There is a question patients ask most often during arrowhead nose Botox consultations.

"Doctor, if I get this injection, will my nose tip lift up?"

​

As I always say,

you must first understand the fundamental principle of Botox.

Botox is not a procedure that physically lifts (Lifting) the skin or cartilage upward.

​

It is a procedure that temporarily paralyzes the movement of muscles that exert excessive force, thereby relieving that tension.

​

It 'blocks the force of the muscle that strongly pulls the nose tip downward, preventing the nose from being pulled down any further.'

​

Once you recognize this subtle but important difference, your satisfaction with the arrowhead nose Botox procedure can change.

2. Those who truly need arrowhead nose Botox [Accurate Indications]

​

Then, in what cases does arrowhead nose Botox produce dramatic results?

​

The key lies in the 'changes when making facial expressions.'

​

- Those whose nose shape is fine when expressionless

- Those whose nose tip noticeably droops and looks long when taking photos or smiling broadly

- Those whose philtrum becomes noticeably shorter and upper lip seems to curl upward when smiling

​

These symptoms occur because a muscle in our face called the Depressor septi nasi (DSN) contracts excessively.

​

When this muscle contracts, it pulls the nose tip down,

shortens the philtrum, and pulls the lip upward.

​

Therefore, for those whose nose becomes an arrowhead shape when smiling, injecting Botox into this DSN muscle to release the tension allows the nose tip to maintain its original neat shape even when smiling broadly.

3. Cases where it is not effective (Contraindications)

​

On the other hand, there are cases where it is difficult to expect improvement with Botox alone.

​

This is the 'structural arrowhead nose' where the nose tip is already drooping even when expressionless.

​

​

The nose shape when expressionless is a matter of the nose's own anatomical structure, such as bone and cartilage, unrelated to muscle force.

​

Since it was not pulled down by muscles in the first place, even if you relieve the muscle tension with Botox, the nose tip that was drooping from the start will not rise back up. In such cases, you should consider a surgical approach that repositions the nose tip cartilage, rather than Botox.

Arrowhead nose correction is not a light procedure

that ends with just one injection

under the nose tip.

​

Around our nose, in addition to the main target, the Depressor septi nasi (DSN), there are 4 to 5 complex muscles involved in facial expressions, such as those that move the nostrils or lift the lips, clustered together.

​

While controlling the movement of the DSN is most important, the design must delicately consider the interaction with the remaining surrounding muscles to achieve natural results without making expressions look awkward.

This is precisely why we spend a significant amount of time

on medical interviews in the Sio Clinic consultation room.

​

We check the nose line when you are expressionless, and carefully observe with our own eyes whether the nose spreads to the sides, drops down, or how the philtrum and lips change when you smile brightly. Only by going through this process can we accurately determine whether the patient's concern is an 'indication that can be resolved with Botox.'

​

If approached after an accurate diagnosis of your nose condition and muscle usage, arrowhead nose Botox is a very valuable (?) procedure that can help you regain a bright and confident expression without the burden of surgery.

​

Rather than deciding simply by looking at reviews saying others had good results, I hope you get a proper consultation to see if your nose is a type that can be corrected with Botox before proceeding with the procedure!!~~
