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, let's give a direct answer: Nose tip reduction addresses rounded, blunt, hypertrophic, and drooping nasal tips, relying on suturing, trimming, and remodeling of the tip cartilage; Wing reduction addresses nostrils with flared nostrils and enlarged nostrils, relying on removing excess tissue. The two often need to be combined to make the "large nose tip" look more refined—doing only one thing often neglects one side. Under standard procedures, the incision is concealed and the scar is not obvious, but the plan must be based on whether the nose tip is "cartilage can stretch" or "the soft tissue is too thick." 1. First: Nose tip reduction ≠ Many people think of "large nose tip" as a general problem, but it is actually determined by two subunits: nose tip (nasal tip) problem: rounded, blunt, hypertroph, drooping, lacking any symptoms...
