First, a direct answer: the garlic nose has a rounded, blunt, and enlarged nose tip, often accompanied by wide and outward spreading of the nostrils. The main causes are weak and outward spread of the cartilage (lower lateral cartilage) + thickened soft tissue at the nasal tip. The core of correction is to use cartilage sutures and grafts to reconstruct the nasal tip scaffold, gathering the expanded cartilage and moderately thinning the soft tissue at the tip. For wide nostrils, the nose wings are further reduced. It cannot be "reduced" by hyaluronic acid; injections only make it larger. The thicker the skin, the harder it is to shape and the more limited the refinement limits, so rational expectations are needed. 1. How is the garlic nose formed? The garlic nose is not just "fleshy" but usually consists of three factors: weak cartilage, spreading, and separation of the alar cartilage; the tip lacks a concentrated support point, appearing round, blunt, and flat. Thickened soft tissue (skin + subcutaneous tissue) at the nasal tip: well-developed sebaceous glands and thick skin, which...

First, a direct answer is a hump nose where the mid-nasal dorsum bone and cartilage are excessively raised, with the side resembling a "hump." The core correction involves removing excess bony/cartilaginous protrusion, then smoothing the nasal bridge into a harmonious curve through osteotomy, which usually also requires raising the nose tip to balance the overall contours. Mild humps can be temporarily improved by applying hyaluronic acid to the upper and lower parts of the nose; obvious humps require surgical removal, as injections alone will make the nose more bulging. Standardized surgery has a low recurrence rate; the key is "sufficient subtraction and smooth osteotomy." 1. How is the hump nose formed? The hump nose mainly results from excessive proliferation or development at the junction of the nasal bone and the upper lateral cartilage, which can be divided into: bony hump: mainly a nasal bone protrusion, hard texture, requiring osteotomy or bone grinding. Cartilaginous hump: characterized by nasal dorsal soft...

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. For specific categories, clicking the corresponding topic page below is most practical. 1. Quick Check for Category 6 Nasal Deformities...

First, if you only think the bridge is flat or the nasal tip and wings are still basic, prioritize simple rhinoplasty; If the nasal tip is rounded and blunt, the nostrils are wide, the nose tip droops, or multiple areas are unsatisfactory, a comprehensive rhinal procedure is usually needed. The core judgment is "whether you want to change one area or multiple areas." Pure rhinoplasty causes less trauma and faster recovery; Comprehensive rhinoplasty design is complex, overall effect, but recovery time is longer. Ultimately, the consultation design is based on Dr. Tang Yuxiang and other professional doctors. 1. What exactly is the difference between the two? Pure rhinoplasty mainly addresses nasal bridge height; Nasal integration focuses on the overall design of multiple subunits of the nose (nasal bridge, tip, wings, columella, etc.). Comparison items: Comprehensive rhinoplasty mainly covers areas such as the bridge + tip + wings + columella. Suitable for people with low nasal bridges and many other foundations requiring improvement. Common materials such as prostheses/bulges are mainly prostheses + autologos...
