Upturned nose correction: exposed nostrils and short nose lengthening
To give a direct answer: the core of upturned nose correction is "extension + downward rotation": using a cartilage scaffold such as a nasal septum extension graft to lengthen the overly short nose and rotate the upturned tip downward, returning the nasolabial angle to its natural range. Hyaluronic acid and thread lifting cannot truly lengthen the nose; moderate to severe upturned noses can only be corrected with cartilage scaffold surgery. The exact lengthening degree requires a face-to-face consultation by Dr. Tang Yuxiang and other specialists, combined with skin tension assessment. 1. What is an upturned nose: Three self-test standards The upturned nose (upturned nose / short nose) refers to a nose shape with excessive upward rotation of the nose tip, exposed nostrils facing forward and upward, and insufficient nasal dorsum length. You can compare these with three indicators for self-assessment: excessive nasolabial angle: the angle between the nasal columella and the upper lip is significantly greater than 105° (ideal for women: about 95°–105°, for men about 90°–9...
