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...

Here's a direct answer first: hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty (injection rhinoplasty) involves injecting cross-linked hyaluronic acid gel into the upper periosteum of the nasal dorsal to lift the nasal root and bridge—a minimally invasive procedure that requires no surgery, recovers on the same day, and is reversible, lasting about 6–18 months. It is suitable for those with a good nasal foundation who only need minor lifting; It is not suitable for improving the tip of the nose, wings, or severe flattening. The core risk is vascular embolism, so it is essential to choose reputable medical devices and a doctor familiar with nasal anatomy. 1. What is hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty? Hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty refers to using a cross-linked hyaluronic acid (hyaluronic acid) filler certified by the device number III, injected along the midline of the nasal dorsum into the upper periosteum. The gel's support helps raise the nasal root and refine the curve of the nasal bridge. It is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a needle instead of a knife, taking about 15–30 minutes in total, with immediate results after injection. ...

First, a direct answer for nasal base depression refers to insufficient bony support on both sides of the nostrils and at the base of the columella, resulting in a "weak foundation," a prominent mouth, and deep nasolabial folds. The improvement method involves adding fillers to the nasal base: mild to moderate cases and low-cost options can be treated with hyaluronic acid; For long-lasting, stable, and more obvious depressions, prostheses (such as silicone/inflated base pads) can be considered; For those with midfacial depression, autologous fat can be considered. It can improve the visual impression of "pseudo-mouth protrusion" but cannot correct true teeth or bony buck teeth. 1. What is nasal base depression? The nasal base is the "foundation" connecting the nose to the upper lip and cheeks. When the maxilla area is underdeveloped or retracted, a depression appears beside the nostrils and dullness at the nasolabial corner, making the mouth appear forward from the side (pseudo-mouth protrusion). Nasolabial protrusions...

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...
