Treatment Overview
Botox-Assisted Nose Lift in Korea is a non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure designed to subtly elevate and refine the nasal tip using botulinum toxin (Botox). By relaxing specific muscles around the nose, this treatment can lift a drooping tip, smooth minor wrinkles, and improve nasal aesthetics without incisions or downtime. Korean aesthetic clinics are known for their precision and natural-looking results, making this a popular option for patients seeking temporary enhancement without surgery.
