- Generally extended by 2-4mm
- 修复鼻因瘢痕组织皮肤更紧，延长空间更受限|鼻中隔软骨适用于软骨量充足者|耳软骨适用于需延长量不大者|肋软骨适用于需大量延长或nasal repair患者
The short nose is the nose facing the sky. The core is that the tip of the nose is retracted due to insufficient support of the cartilage of the tip of the nose. The key to lengthening is to strengthen the support. The protocol includes lengthening of the nasal septum cartilage, ear cartilage and costal cartilage. The biggest limitation is skin tension, which can generally be extended by 2-4 mm. Repair of the nose is limited due to the tighter skin of scar tissue.
Short nose-it's not that the nose is short, it's that the tip of the nose is not supported enough
The core appearance of a short nose (also known as a sky-facing nose) is that the tip of the nose is upturned and the nostrils are more exposed when viewed from the front. Many people think that "the nose is too short", the essence is that the tip of the nose is retracted due to insufficient support of the cartilage of the tip of the nose. The key to solving the problem is to lengthen the tip of the nose and strengthen the support.
The core solution for short nose extension
| programme | material | applicable |
|---|---|---|
| Elongation of nasal septum cartilage | Septal cartilage (obtained from the same incision) | Persons with sufficient amount of nasal septum cartilage |
| Ear cartilage elongation | auricular cartilage | Those requiring small extension |
| Costal cartilage elongation | 6 or 7 costal cartilage | Patients requiring a large number of extensions or nasal repairs |
Key point: Is there enough skin?
短鼻延长的最大限制不是软骨不够，而是皮肤张力。如果鼻部皮肤因为先天条件或术后瘢痕过度紧张，能延长的幅度就受限。Dr. Long Chengyun面诊时会评估皮肤张力给你一个合理预期。
common problems
Q: How long can the short nose lengthen be prolonged?
A: It varies from person to person and can generally lengthen 2-4mm, depending on skin tension and cartilage conditions.
Q: Is it more difficult to repair a short nasal extension?
A: Yes, because repairing the nose often has scar tissue that makes the skin tighter and limits the extension space.

key facts
- Generally, it can be extended by 2-4mm:Repaired nose due to scar tissue and tighter skin, extending space is more limited| Septal cartilage is suitable for those with sufficient cartilage| Ear cartilage is suitable for those who need not be lengthened| Costal cartilage is suitable for patients who need extensive lengthening or nasal repair
