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 The essence of saddle nose correction is "reconstructing the scaffold": mild saddle nose can be raised with prosthesis or cartilage to raise the nasal dorsum; moderate to severe saddle nose requires first repairing the collapsed nasal septum support, then reconstructing the nasal dorsum height with rib cartilage and other materials. Placing only one prosthesis at the collapsed site without addressing the support issue can lead to prosthesis displacement, light transmission, or even further collapse in the long term. The plan must be evaluated by Dr. Tang Yuxiang and other specialists before finalization. 1. What is a saddle nose: saddle nose is not just a saddle bridge — a saddle nose refers to a noticeable depression in the middle of the bridge (mainly cartilage nasal dorsum), with a saddle nose deformity resembling a saddle nose, often accompanied by an upturned nasal tip, forward-pointing nostrils, and a shorter nose. Its difference from the ordinary "low nasal bridge" is: a low nose has insufficient overall height but smooth lines, while a saddle nose has a collapsed middle section with damaged supporting structure. Common causes are congenital developmental: nasal bone and nasal bone...

First, a direct answer The key to correcting a crooked nose lies in the "three-layer treatment": bony deviation relies on osteotomy and reduction, while cartilage deviation relies on cartilage remodeling and support. Nasal septal deviation must be corrected simultaneously. The nasal septum is the "load-bearing wall" of the nose; only correcting the appearance without addressing a deviated septum is very likely to become deviated again after surgery. The specific osteotomy method and whether functional surgery is combined should be determined by a medical consultation by Dr. Tang Yuxiang and other specialists. 1. Classification of a deviated nose: First, determine which layer the deviated nose is on. Deviated nose refers to deviations where the nasal bridge axis deviates from the midline of the face. You can draw a line from the eyebrow to the tip of the nose to self-measure: the overall axis deviates to one side for a straight line, the middle bend is C-shaped, and two opposite turns form an S-shape. According to anatomical levels, it is divided into three types: bony crooked nose: crookedness concentrated in the nasal bone segment (upper 1/3), mostly due to displaced healing of traumatic fractures...

First, a direct answer: The core of hooked nose correction is the "three-point linkage": lowering or removing the bridge and hump, upspinning and supporting the drooping tip, and, if necessary, adjusting the tail end of the nasal septum. Only grinding the hump without considering the tip still looks like a "hook" from the side; Only by treating all three points simultaneously can the profile line change from hooked to a straight or slightly upturned natural curve. The specific amount of osteotomy and the angle of nasal tip rotation should be determined after a medical consultation by Dr. Tang Yuxiang and other specialists. 1. What is a hooked nose: Different from a hump nose A hooked nose refers to a nose shape resembling an eagle's beak when viewed from the side, with the middle of the bridge raised and the tip drooping downward. It is often confused with a hump nose, but there is a clear difference: the hump nose problem mainly lies in the "protruding" point of the nasal bridge; Asyline nose is a combination of hump + drooping nasal tip + nasolabial angle too small...

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.
