The Specifics
What is a muscle paralysis rhinoplasty?
A muscle paralysis rhinoplasty is a minimally invasive, temporary rhinoplasty technique. Botulinum toxin type A (like Botox®) is injected around the nasal region (read: not directly into the nose) to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. The reduction of fine lines and wrinkles around the nose causes the nose to appear smaller and rejuvenates the nasal area.
