Give a direct answer first The essence of saddle nose correction is "reconstruction of the scaffold": mild saddle nose can be used prosthesis or cartilage to raise the dorsum of the nose, moderate and severe saddle nose must first repair the collapsed nasal septum support, and then use costal cartilage and other materials to rebuild the height of the dorsum of the nose. Only put a prosthesis in the collapse without solving the support problem, and the prosthesis is prone to displacement, light transmission and even re-collapse in the long run. The plan needs to be determined after face-to-face evaluation by professional physicians such as Dr. Tang Yuxiang. First, what is a saddle nose: it is not just the bridge of the nose that collapses Saddle nose refers to the middle section of the bridge of the nose (mainly cartilaginous dorsum) that is obviously sunken, with a saddle-like nose deformity on the side, often accompanied by upturned nose tip, forward nostrils, and a short nose. The difference between it and the ordinary "low bridge" is that the low nose is the overall height insufficient but the lines are smooth, while the saddle nose is the middle section collapsed and the support structure damaged.

Give a direct answer first Common nasal deformities can be classified into six categories: hump nose, saddle nose, crooked nose, hook nose, garlic nose, and upward nose. The correction core is not "raised", but the scaffold structure of the nasal bone and cartilage is reconstructed according to the cause (bony/chondrogenic/soft tissue/mixed): hump hook should be "subtracted + smooth", saddle nose should be "structural support reconstruction", crooked nose should be "osteotomy + septal correction", garlic should be "cartilage suture + soft tissue thinning", and upward nose should be "extended nasal septum". Most of them need to be completed within the comprehensive framework of the nose, and autologous cartilage is often required for medium and severe cases.
