ConclusionRhinoseptoplasty has a significant impact on the patient self-consciousness of appearance, in both negative and positive terms.

Advanced Injection of Botulinum Toxin in the Nasal Muscles: A Novel Dynamic Change in Facial Expression
ConclusionsTreating the facial muscles globally (including the frontal, corrugators, procerus, orbicularis oculi, platysma, DAO, and nasal muscles) can improve the smile and facial expressions. This is believed to occur because the elevated portion of the upper lip muscle becomes stronger as the nasal part of the LLSAN is paralyzed.Level of Evidence IVThis journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
