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...

First, a direct answer Common nasal deformities can be divided into six categories: hump nose, saddle nose, crooked nose, hooked nose, garlic nose, and upward-facing nose. The corrective core is not "raising" but reconstructing the nasal bone and cartilage scaffold structure based on the cause (bony / cartilage / soft tissue / mixed): hump hook requires "subtraction + smoothness," saddle nose requires "structural support reconstruction," crooked nose requires "osteotomy + septum correction," "cartilage suturing + soft tissue thinning," and upward nose requires "lengthening the nasal septum." Most cases need to be completed within the comprehensive nasal framework, with moderate to severe cases often requiring autologous cartilage.
